Partial Recovery So Far

Hey all,

So I have somewhat recovered from the side effects of Finastride, and I am here to tell you some positive news, hopefully I have time to write a good amount before I head off t work. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Okay so I am 23 years old, and in February I decided that I definitely was starting to lose my hair, it was thinning at the front. I visited my doctor and he suggested finastride and gave me a proscar subscription.

Two weeks in I was finding that I never had morning wood anymore and my sex drive had lowered. I looked online a little and found the company said that side effects like this should go away. So I kept an eye on them.

40 days into taking it I had numerous other confirmed side effects…

Difficulty maintaining erection
Difficulty getting erection
Watery Semen
No pleasure in orgasms
Anxiety
No spontaneous or nighttime erections
Very low sex drive

I went off the drug, cursing my idiocy in not doing so sooner, and hoping that I would recover.

It is now 3 weeks later.

the recovery so far…

Within a week I had pleasurable orgasms again
Within a week I had seemingly normal semen again
Within a week my anxiety level returned to approx. normal

Within ten days my sex drive was back to approx. normal.

also within a week I noticed that I seemed more intelligent again, like I had been dumber on the drug.

Within 2 weeks I had many night time erections, and morning wood ranging from halfies, to full blown erections (though they do not last as long)

Within 2 weeks I had more success at both getting and maintaining an erection (however this is still a long way from ideal)

Problems I still have.

  1. I have noticed that I have trouble always knowing whether I have to pee, it is very frustrating and I just kind of pee when I remember I haven’t in a while now.

  2. I don’t mind so much that it takes a little more to get an erection, I can work around that. The trouble is the mainting of it. I had a beautiful tanned girl in my bed last night, we were just fooling around, and although I repeatedly got ‘half erect’ it took a lot to get a full on erection. I was not having sex with her (the situation was unique) but was mostly grinding on her ass, and feeling her up etc. I needed constant hard grinding on her ass to maintain any semblance of a ‘sex able’ erection.

Solution?

Well I hope that I keep improving in every way. However I am going to visit a girlfriend who is abroad in two weeks, if things aren’t looking up I am going to try out a cock ring. If that does not work I am considering having viagra as a ‘backup’.

There ya go boys. Feedback would be appreciated.
