i was fine for 4 years taking propecia 1mg per day,i did notice a very small dip in erection strength and libido right from the start but this was hardly noticable,i thought these were the possible side effects which were mentioned on the paperwork which came with the drug,i was still very horny etc and felt 99% so thought this was a good trade off to keep my hair,like i said i could barely notice the slight side efffects,i even came off the drug in those four years 2 or three times for maybe a month or more with no crash or any problems but soon went back on it when i noticed my hair starting to shed again,then the last few months i changed from 1mg propecia per day to quartering a 5mg finasteride pill,so i was taking roughly 1.25mg per day,that is when the problems started,all of a sudden i felt dead inside and didnt know why,like a fool i kept on taking the finasteride for a few more weeks thinking this would pass,ofcourse it didnt i just got worse and worse,so for me it was the change in dose what screwed me right up,that was six years ago,i only started quartering the 5mg pills to save a litte money,i could kick myself for being greedy and ruining my life…
Interestingly I also only starting having problems after changing dose, however rather than increasing it I was reducing it to 0.5mg every other day.
Ironically I did this as precaution against all the horror stories I’d read, with the intention of tapering off the drug as I concluded the risks weren’t worth it despite 6 months without significant side-effects. Low and behold, full blown PFS.

Having read your member story, you don’t seem to have full blown PFS???
Correct me if I’m wrong but don’t you still have full sexual function, no shrinkage and a testosterone level in the 30’s range?
Have things got worse since you wrote your member story?
I have zero libido and weak erections when I do, plus all the full blown mental side effects. Can’t say I’ve noticed any shrinkage though.
My testosterone has increased in the months coming off the drug, but it hasn’t had any positive effect. You tell me, do you feel any better now your test. levels have improved with Clomid?
