I can only get an erection when i watch porn. Morning wood and spontaneous erections are completely gone… anyone familiar with this? I took finasteride for about 2 weeks.
Of course. I would say lack and decline of spontenous erections are commonly one of the first sides PFSers and finasteride users experience and it can be one of the most persistent. For instance, as for me it took several months to have a decent induced erection, but more time to have spontenous ones which were very weak and infrequent when they first started to re-appear and little by little they improved in frequency and quality.
You are lucky if you can have and maintain erections and if lack of spontenous ones is your only side. Should be happy for having noticed it soon and taken the drug for only 2 weeks.
In my opinion it is very very probable you will get fine (you are already pretty fine if this is your only side) as time passes and if you don’t try anymore risky treatments. Spontenous erections are needed to maintain a healthy penile tissue so maybe your only worry could be improving your bloodflow down there for the time the spontenous erections return and prevent alterations like rotation, shrinkage… If you think you really need them there are safe options like supplements demonstrated to be useful at Peyronie desease onset such as vitamin E, L arginine, L carnitine, coenzime Q 10; vitamin D; cialis; pump devices; just being sexual active (taking into account you are able to maintain good erections) ; some herbs ; low intensity shock wave therapy; lifestyle recommendations like diet, hot baths and so on.
Help your body to recover. You can write me vía PM if you want further information from me.
Thanks for your advice! I did have terrible mental side effects(depression, panic attacks) as well. I even planned suicide at some point, because the mental sides were so brutal. But luckily i had a doctor who fully understood my situation. He checked my hormones and concluded that I had a huge lack of serotonin. Therefore he prescribed me two serotonin boosters. These boosters fortunately did their job and I feel normal again since about 1 week… luckily.
I do hope that my ED is a temporary thing, since I am only 20. Otherwise i’ll have to take action.
hold on dude
what kind of serotonin boosters
i only say because they can have similair if not the exact same sexual sides as finasteride.
what did he give you?
after taking them are you feeling better?
i dont mean to stir shit up, but i care about people on here even if i dont know you
My doctor prescribed me "Griffonia simplicifolia’’ and ‘‘st johns wort’’. These are natural serotonin boosters… and they kinda worked for me. I definitely feel better at this point.
I still can only get an erection from watching porn. I do not really know if this is a problem, because i do not have a girlfriend at this moment. I do get morning wood every once in a while, but definitely not every morning.
Are you still taking
"Griffonia simplicifolia’’ and ‘‘st johns wort’’?
Does their effictivness remain?
Thanks
I still take st johns wort, griffonia simplicifolia and fish oil caps. I wouldn’t say that i am completely the same as before finasteride, but at least I feel a lot better mentally right now.
Thank you. what dose?
Sorry for the late respons
I take:
St John’s wort: 600 mg once a day in the morning
Griffonia Simplicifolia: 500 mg two times a day in the morning and evening
Fish oil: 360 mg two times a day
griffonia simplicifolia side effects may also include decreased libido and affect the user’s sex life.
