Hi guys I started taking Finasteride 1mg june of 2013 and stopped december 15th of this year (2014) . While I was taking the drug I always felt depressed, foggy and just all around not right I feel that my penis doesn’t even work the same as it did! Before I began taking this drug I would get morning erections every morning and ever since I started the drug I lost the erections. Im 22 years old and I’m very scared for my all around health. My main questions are will morning erections come back and if so how long? Is it bad not to have morning erections? I have been off the drug for about 2 weeks now and Im still not having morning erections. Another big question is does should a person worry about penis shrinkage while taking the drug or when stopped? Another question Will my body go back to normal? And will my penis go back to normal? I still get erections but not the same as when I didn’t take the drug and never in the morning. I feel like my penis lost a litter girth and I want to know if tall this will go back to normal or get worse because I stopped taking the drug. Two more question 1 if I continued to take the drug would i run the risk of possibly shrieking my penis or would it have happened already? And for my last question is when will hair begin to shed?
please use paragraphs
you should start on low dose viagra/horny goat weed/l arginine right away.
First of all, if you continue taking the drug you will most certainly run the risk of completely ruining your life which is the case for most people here, so it is completely unnecessary question.
Most importantly, you haven’t experienced ‘crash’, so it is very much likely that you will completely recover.
So, you should wait a while, because it is quite possible that your side effects are caused by less 5ar, which should, at least partially, recover after some time.
I wasn’t patient enough and took tribulus terrestris which is, after all, recommended on propeciahelp site. I started pissing every two hours, cognition was further damaged, and couldn’t sleep two nights. So, only if you don’t notice any improvement after few months, you should consider taking some safe and natural stuff…
johnny5ar what is crash mean exactly ??
Thanks for the help guys! I have one other question was it a smart thing to quit cold turkey or would it have been better to wean myself off? Also is it common to crash after quitting this stuff and if I do crash is it possible to recover from it?
titrating off slowly for as long as you can tolerate would definitely keep your hormone levels more stable. no one knows if that will prevent PFS though. its pretty hard to do effectively. you would have to get really creative
I had a horrible crash in October 2013 and have mostly recovered. I only took finasteride occasionally during the months before the crash, and stopped 10 days before the crash.
