So here is my story:
i started taking propecia in jan, for three weeks. At the beginning of the third week i started feeling less desire for sex and i experience penis shrinkage, and a decrease in amount of seaman. i fell ill the 4th week and decided to quit after hearing horrible stories about the drug (i also thought there might have been a connection between the drug and the illness which dont think was true).

Anyways, after stopping i became much better after approx one week. However even now after 2 months and a half i still am not back to normal. I feel like i dont have the same sex drive as before. Now i masturbate maybe every other day while before it was every day. Less amount of seaman (but much more than when i was on the drug) and less enjoyable. There is no doubt that i’m better now than when i was on the drug.
My question is : could i be one of the “normal cases” that is taking time to recover, or am i one of the abnormal longterm side effect cases? For the normal cases how long does it take for them to recover?

Thanks for the help guys

You can get a hormone panel test per the faqs section here to get an idea of where you are at in terms of your hormones being within range. It sounds like psychology may be playing into it for you.

Being that you weren’t on it for that long, you should continue to improve and make a full recovery. I would count my blessings if I were you. I am five weeks off and have felt hypogonadal since quiting. Every side imaginable. Live is hell.
