Ok, its now day 4. I wanted to post this to give hope to those who were luckily on this drug for a very short time and also to thank the people on this forum. This website definitely helped me decide to quit taking propecia and gave me an idea of what to expect, so thank you for that!

So day 4: I feel substantially better. I have little or no spontaneous erections or morning erections, but I feel more like myself and my penis no longer feels “detached.” I believe on the present course I may be almost if not completely better in a week or so. The only thing I’m really missing is my usually substantial libido and the spontaneous erections/morning erections.

I’m currently in a PhD program for neuroscience, and I was wondering if anyone has looked into hormone receptor degradation caused by finasteride. I see a lot of posts on hormone levels, but the level of hormone doesn’t mean very much if you’re lacking a normal level of the receptor that senses these chemicals. This is all speculation, I haven’t done any research on receptor degradation caused by finasteride, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it had some effect.
