My brother is taking finasteride for almost 8 years. He encoureged me to start taking it and i did the biggest mistake of my life. From the fifth pill my pines shrinked like a stone, no libido, bad erections, and my brother told me to keep going, that it might disapear, i kept like this for 3 months and quit after i saw how much grith my penis lost.
After my quit i decided to give a break from thinking about side effects and went to travel the world. I traveled 10 months and assumed it will pass by the time ill be back home. And after it fucked me so many times with girls during the trip i realized i have to do something.
Now i kinda avoiding sex. I have severe P.E somthing that i hadnt have before, im ejaculate in 30 seconds top. It so shaming. I met a girl, was
really in love with her and she with me, but the sex situation was horrible to the relationship,
made me feel so not confident, made me feel like she doing me a favor everytime we doing sex.
I continue to loss my penis grith and length and starting to get to a point that it look it wont come back from there. My brain dont let me believe that im gonna suffer so many years of that shit. Which girl will agree to be with me? I have a huge block cause everytime i meet a new girl i need to explain im gonna ejaculate in 20 seconds. Fuck merck fuck that shit.
I have so many revenge feelings, no doctor helps us, people keep taking this drug and merck keep poisoning young healthy guys like us.
Now im using bathmate for stronger erection and starting doxycycline for maybe treat inflamtion.
Lets hope for good…
