So just wanted to update from the past over a year ago.
Everything is still fine.
I think the only long term effect from having taken Propecia (and having stopped August 2005) was some penile shrinkage. I know I was about 0.75" larger in college than I am now.
But at least I’m getting hard and have libido which are 2 things I really didn’t have for 5 fucking years (libido) and 6 fucking years (erection strength).
God I remember in 2008 hiding a 25 mg of Viagra in my pocket when I went out with a girl and had to surreptitiously use it like an hour before we had sex.
And I also had the symptom of “gynecomastia.” I remember taking off my shirt in front of some girl back in 2006-2007 or something and she exclaimed, “Nice boobs!”
I had extensive blood work but I don’t remember seeing that Adiosol-G or something like that. But I remember a urologist telling me I’ve had extensive bloodwork on multiple occasions.
THE POINT I’M TRYING TO MAKE IS THAT ONLY TIME WILL FIX WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU. YOUR BODY HAS TO GET BACK TO WHAT IS NORMAL. HOWEVER, I AM A FIRM BELIEVER THAT THIS MAKES SOME LONG-TERM CHANGES BECAUSE I STRANGELY STILL HAVE MY HAIR. SO TAKING PROPECIA FOR 5 YEARS I BELIEVE STOPPED ME FROM LOSING MY HAIR ON WHAT APPEARS TO BE A PERMANENT BASIS (IT’S BEEN 6.5 YEARS SINCE I’VE TAKEN PROPECIA). YET I HAVE RECOVERED I ASSUME FROM MY BODY NATURALLY DEALING WITH WHAT THE PROPECIA DID TO MY BODY CHEMISTRY.
So just take Viagra (the smallest dosage you can 25 mg) to get the confidence to be erect with a woman and just wait this out and hope for the best. That’s all you can do. Don’t take any more pills to try to fix this. Just eat well and exercise and just try to wait this out.
However I will share with you a little secret. In 2009 I was fortunate enough to hook up with a young hot chick who was able to get me off orally like no one else before her. After an incredible weekend with her, that was the time I realized I was fully recovered (minus the penile shrinkage). So go out and try to find someone who turns you on, but you have to be in the right frame of mind to do this (I couldn’t have done this sub 5 years after Propecia usage).
Best of luck to all of you and no I’m definitely not a Merck drug rep or whatever.
