Hey guys, I was on propecia for a year in January and although I never had any big sides, I had low libido and tiredness etc and decided to come off it because I was scared of the long term effects. Just before I decided to stop I noticed I had weaker erections which seemed to be because of my libido and that I just couldn’t get properly into porn or w/e, nothing seemed to do it. I decided to ween off.
I was on 1mg every other day so I decided to ween off like this: (half is half a pill and quarter is a quarter of a pill)
Half Friday jan 8th
Half Monday jan 11th
Half Thursday jan 14th
Half Sunday jan 17th
Half Wednesday jan 20th
Half Sunday jan 24th
Quarter Thursday jan 28th
Quarter Monday feb 1st
Quarter Friday feb 5th
Quarter Wednesday feb 10th
Quarter Monday feb 15th
Quarter Saturday feb 20th
Quarter Friday feb 26th
Quarter Friday march 4th
I noticed improvements quick, higher libido, strong erections, random erections in work and more morning wood etc and I was very pleased and couldn’t wait to finish weening. However, I had a dose on Friday which was Feb 26th (second to last one…) and suddenly my penis feels strange and my libido is close to gone again and I have testicle pain, what is happening and how long will it take to resolve?
I’m wondering if the 6 days I didn’t have propecia maybe cleared it completely out of my system and having that last dose was sort of like having a fresh dose again? I don’t know.
Please help, cheers.
