Dr. Michael Irwig, Associate Professor of Medicine and Director of Andrology at George Washington University, has published a paper in Sexual Medicine Reviews that provides an overview and analysis of all significant clinical research on post-finasteride syndrome to date.
In it, he concludes:
“Persistent adverse effects of finasteride in younger men include erectile dysfunction, low libido, lack of orgasms, depression, and decreased alcohol consumption. One study has found lower levels of several neurosteroids in this population. Out of the various persistent side effects, erectile dysfunction and decreased alcohol consumption have been the most studied in animal models. Further research is needed on who is susceptible to the persistent adverse side effects of finasteride and on the underlying mechanisms of the medication.”
