Why Did It Take 10 Years Before Having the Side Effects?

General Discussion
#1

Hi,

I am wondering, why did it take over 10 years before I had the Propecia side effects? Since I took the pills for such a long time without feeling any major side effects will it take longer or will it be more difficult for me to recover from PFS?

Thank you!

Did you change dosage? Or brand?

Changing dosages, or skip a few days without taking it or changing taking time may cause it. However time is irrevelant with recovery or how bad is your pfs.
I have very bad pfs and just took 4 days, 8 months past and zero improvoments.

At least report it to medwatch or local equivalent.

I think u were prolly really healthy and it took tht long to wear ure body down completely…the first year I took it no sides but it was real propecia… the second time I took it it was generic finasteride and it only took a month and a half…my shit was really mild but however it left me with secondary hypo and luckily I respond well to trt

thank you for the reply, I took it without interruption, every single day 1 tablet of 1 mg Propecia. It is true, I dont drink alcohol and I never drunk alcohol because I wanted to become a professional in sports (but not succeeded) and I never smoked. This might have been the major reasons.

I asked the question because I thought, maybe the solution to my side effects is to be found by looking into my past "What did I do that I survived the side effects for such a long time? " and there is maybe an answer in there.

I still dont smoke and dont drink alcohol, I am approaching now month 9 since my last pill but no improvement so far but I keep on doing my diet, heavy weight lifting, loosing fat, stay positive, no stress, sleep a lot and take all the supplements advised on various posts on the forum. I hope I will soon see some improvement to this mess.

Unfortunately we have no answers, I also took it 9 years without any noticeable side effects, actually became more horny and aggressive the longer I was on it.

I know for me not masterbating anymore and just having sex improves things… FOr instance if I masterbate a couple of days in a row and try to have sex I can do it but I will lose erection… If I don’t masterbate at all I can do it every 48 hours doggiestyle and dick is hard without any meds… I will continue to pray for everyone
