This is so that we can more easily track our symptoms and hopefully find patterns in our syndrome. This will also help others understand your background, and help us try to determine what are the most commonly experienced side effects after discontinuation of Finasteride.

- Where are you from (country)?
I am from uk - How did you find this forum (Google search – if so, what search terms? Via link from a forum or website – if so, what page? Other?)

Well a week into realised i was no longer feeling horny - What side effects did you experience while on the drug that have yet to resolve since discontinuation?
Everything initially but now just got libido issue. I never feel that horny enough to want to do it…but can get stimulated and feel hot when partner seduces me If i am fully relaxed and im having some libido and feel good then libido is enough to get hot and just about manage sex and satisfy partner. If not a good day i am stress even a little then i lose erection in between as i do deep penetration and do mini jerks barely moving because this makes partner have orgasm i have to hold penis deep and just put pressure with very mini nudges with my penis and she cums in 1 to 2 minutes but problem is i start to go soft once thrusting stops because i have no libido. If i just thrusted constantly i could just about cope but partner orgasms a certain way. I lose erection when she on top also so i only do military and keep it simple as long as she cums thats what matters. I thank god i can make her cum. I still get depression as i have thought too much but sleep has recently resolved and i get good days when i sleep but stress tolerance is poor. I had severe anxiety drpression impotence no libido and sleep issues. I had the full monty back 9 years ago. Now on a good day when im not depressed i can get hard and stay hard can get hot enough to maintain sex and feel good sleep good…but bo overwhelming innate desire to screw unless im turned on by partner. Erections are not as good as before when i was in 20s but i can get them seeing sexy girl on a good day with no manual stimulation. Never was able to do this after maybe 6 years it started. So i made very good progress but nowhere like i was its a good job im blessed. Now its depression and overthinking thats stopping progress…i think too much and get down too quickly getting depresse. I can only develop enough libido to have sex once a week…but lately i started srmen retention and it allows my libido to build up and perform better. It helps but congests prostate and it causes loss of libido and erectile issues. Im just coping abd working around my issues. I startes getting morning erectiobs around 4 years later. Slowly im coming on board im nearly 40 now and i improved sexually since 30 when i was totally impotent and zero libido or desire bad panic attacks. My nose and dace gets oily again. My hard flaccid get better around 3 years but if i eat high dose zinc tablets it comes back. I took isocort a coiple of years ago and it helped i also took impotency herbals from china and india. This year my wife gave birth to baby girl. Im moving on best as i xan but im reachibg middle age at 40 and i got nothing but decline to look forwsrd to and im barely coping as it is…this makes me depressed.
