Hi. I’m 28 years old and I’m from Slovakia (It is in Europe). I’m sorry my English is not good but I’ll try. I’m off finasterid for 6 years and I still have side effects. I used it oraly. When I stopped oral administration (1mg/day during one year) because of side effect (depression) I started with homemade alcoholic solution of finasterid and dutasterid. Daily topical dose contained 100mcg of finasterid and 30 mcg dutasterid (for hair this was more effective than oral administration of finasterid) but here occured my problem. Depression went away but my sexual life too. I was taking topical solution for 3 months and in this time my libido died totaly. Now I take nothing for 6 years. During 6 years no improve in my libido (I’m nearly asexual). I tried everything (Testosteron replacement, ginseng, siberian ginseng, rhodiola, leuzea, tribulus, multivitamins, mesterolon as a DHT replacement, piracetam for nerves regeneration, sport, walking) but no improve. I have extreme low libido, my erection is weak, I suffer premature ejaculation. I lost all my girlfriends and now I’m totally alone for 6 years. My hormonal profile (testosterone, prolactin, LH, FSH, thyroid hormone) is ok thus all sexologist said that I’m Ok 
but I’m not. I need girlfriend for my emotional life but Girls dont want me because of I hate sex. I wish to have family but I can’t reach this . PLS Can somebody help me?
I doubt the topical use had anything to do with it, evne though it can be systemically absorbed. More than likely the 3 months after you quit Finasteride is when you found your libido go downhill quickly, as many of us have after quitting the drug (orally).
What kind of TRT were you on – gels, shots? Dosage? For how long? Did you feel ANY improvement at all? How is your ability to get erections before and after TRT? Do you have genital numbness and did it go away on TRT?
My same questions apply to the mesterolon as a DHT replacement.
I know what you mean, it really sucks. But if you can find a woman that will stick by you despite these issues, you will be in a good place. It is hard to have sex and a loving relationship without the desire for the other person, though… lack of libido definitely affect a person’s ability to get erections… if you’re not turned on, you don’t get hard.
Have you tried natural Dopamine-boosting supplements like Mucuna Pruriens or Dopamine boosting drugs (Bromocriptine, Cabergoline) to see if they help improve libido? Have you considered flying to the US to see Dr Shippen or Crisler?
Also – please post your blood tests in the Hormones & Blood Tests section.
I used finasterid orally 1 year (1mg/day). I started using my topical solution when I quit oral ingestion and right there my problems occured. I used testosteron mix (sustanon 250 mg/ 2 weeks ) during two months. I have really no improve in my sexual functions 
. Dosage of mestrelolon I used was 12.5 mg/day. Recommended dosage is 50-100 mg per day but when I used 25/day it made me nervous and insomniac. I used mesterolon for one month but no improve in sex drive or erection. I’m able of weak erection (it is enough for doing sex) but I really hate sex because my libido is on zero level. I realy can’t explain it but I also suffer premature ejaculation (I’m finished within one minute). No I have not used any dopamin agonist but I will try. And I never have genital numbness. But my genitals are quite small in lower part of normal range. I have never such problems before using of finasterid. I loved sex, my erection was hard and I never known what it is premature ejacuation. I have no results of tests at home. Only result I have at home is (TST 18.3, PRL 5.9, FSH 2.8, LH 4.87) but there are no units or normal ranges.
That is more likely what caused your irriversable damage than simply taking the Propecia pill. Why would you do that? Are you crazy? Mixing Finasteride and Dusteride (which is worse) with alcohol. Don’t you hear about the dangers of taking ANY medication with alcohol? All you can do is see a doctor, tell him what you’ve done, and hopefully some sexual stimulants (viagra) will help. Good luck.
Deano, he was using a topical solution of Fin + Dut, with alcohol as the carrier vehicle. In any case, both the oral use of Propecia, then the topical use of this combo would have introduced systemic side effects through absorption – and lead to possible problems, as he found out.

Viagra will not sort my problem of low libido out, only improve erection. And mew is right alcohol was only carrier for topical application. I have thought that topical solution would have less side effects but I was wrong.
I had low libido and now is in normal range.First before any sexual activity you should get a garlic suplement with cheese(clinicaly improves testosterone levels, not with milk eat garlic and eat cheese).That thing will boost your libido and your erection.It does it for me every time.I take the pill and my buddy is hard as a rock, no extra help, now.
Also libido is a nervous reflex that you can train.That means you stimulate your buddy and the brain sends nervous signals to all organs:testicles, prostate, pennis erections,hypotalamus:increase LH,FSH.
So try this:masturbate every 3 days in the afternoon,around 3 or 4pm(sperm cycle is around 4 days, after 4 days there will be no too much sperm production and your sperm will start changing color from white to yellow).Go to some porn sites with realy nice chicks and hardcore.Try use a condo and handjob(not the best).
Sit on your belly and waching porn you should rub your buddy(sitting on one side not centraly) on the bed, like you bang a pillow.It will start slowly but if this thing doesn’t get you horny after 20 min then there is a problem.Try this several times.And remember libido is getting better by stimulating it.
I hope I’m not too dirty in my descriptions, but I think libido will get back…by masturbation.My point of view.
Reviewed:Now I think masturbation is helpful but not the most critical part in recovery
I would like to update my story. It is cca 8 years now since I stopped taking finasteride 1,25mg per day (I was taking it during the period of one year). I still have extreme low my libido despite the fact I was making everything to get my libido back.
