Tell us your story, in your own words, about your Finasteride usage and side effects experienced while on/off the drug.
i took propecia becuse i thoght it could help me against my hair loss. acctually it didnt help at all but i was allways thinking that maby it dont stop my hair loss but it make it slower .
beacuse i didnt had any side effect i just keep on taking it. i remember twice that my doctors recomended me to do a break for one month and so i did.
with the years i understood that i can live my life without hair and i have stopped to take it.
then the nightmare began.
at age of 26 1-2 weeks after i have stopped taking the drug i felt wired i went to a girl and i just could not have sex with her. few days afret the same and i thogth that its becuse of presure from the university and i had some bad thing going throw on me but its last and then after 2 month i belive i found this place and i understood that i have PFS …
i tried to ignore it by not reading nothing and hope its all in my head but in the end i realized that im in a problem.
now im in a serious relationship and my girlfriend advise me to share my story with u.
