Greetings,

Long story short,

I live in cyprus/limassol. I am a sufferer of ed and i strongly believe was caused from propecia drug .

Many of young men , can reach finasteride from any local pharmacy without a doctor’s prescription. like i did.

im 30y.o and had a very good sexual life too strong erections and very good sex drive, since all my life,

… UNTIL 03/05/2010. I took propecia on 3/5/2010 and on 5/5/2010 when i trid to have an intercourse with my girlfriend, i count get an errection at all.

ED started…

I quit PROPECIA immediately. USED propecia for 2 days only and took 2 pills ONLY one each day !!!

but problem stayed long after even months

i thought it is phycological and wasted 1200Eu on psychologists , psychiatrists…

in the end i visited endocrynologist and did bloodtests… and discovered that my prolactine level increased from normal ranges 3 -15 to 39… after using propecia(2days) …and took wellbutrin antidepressant pill next month (june2010) for 2weeks as doctor believed that my ED was due to stress.

i did mri and there is no tumor in pigatory gland, so mri is clean…

maybe propecia elevated my prolactine levels,

im now using dostinex to lower the level of prolactine which it did (prolactine levels range from 5-7 now, normal levels) but i still need and use cialis or levitra daily to fix my sexual problem with is mainly

difficulty to archieve and manitain long living errections for normal intercourse.

when my system if of cialis 3-4 days after the pill effect lasts i get very soft erections and very weak morning erections,

please HELP …

i dont think that cialis will fix my problem. its just a temp fix…

is passion rx a safe alternative?? im considering it but im afraid of yohimbe… people say it is dangerous :frowning:

will i be like this for life?

how can i reverse the propecia side effect…

Welcome

If you copy and paste the new members form and add your blood work will be easier for people to respond.

From your PM, your prolactin jumps out as extremely high

respond ? when??? 2 days gonne and nobody adviced a clue…

i think im gonna just go suiside noww//…

The are bigger experts here than I on blood test results. However I agree estradil is too high and this will kill erections. Your testosterone in general is middle of the road, not great. Research clomid and armidex as two solutions. Three is a lot about them on this forum. I haven’t taken either so my advice will stop here.

This is a tough situation, hang in there.

2 pills must be a record. Another sad story.

coxegean29, if you kill yourself you definetly wont get better. And if you are suicidal prehaps you shouldnt worry how dangerous Yohimbe is.

If I could not cope anymore I would give Testosterone or Andractim gel a try first. Are these easily available in cyprus without prescription?

Coxegean,

If the worst you have is ED, you are very, very, lucky. You can still live a very fulfilling and meaningful life without sex. There must be other things in your life that you enjoy. If I was told I could never have sex again, but that I would be otherwise healthy, I’m not sure how to express how happy I would bel.
