Impotence, Decreased sex drive, premature ejaculation, lowers volume of semen.

naunet, keep in mind that these side effects occured in less than 2% of men in a controlled study.
That is minimal risk for most of us.
All drugs have disclaimers no matter how small the risk as reguired by the FDA.
Personally, after 3 months on propecia every day, I have had no noticable side efects.
If you experience side effects they are temporary & should go away when you stop using it.

after 7 years of propecia, I was a "dud"

Look at the bright side. If you're impotent, you don't have to worry about premature ejaculation!

Bad side effects. I was told that they were rare. Well, I guess I'm in the minority (a 1% chance? BS!)....

I'd stay away from the stuff if you want your crank to crank.

I thought there were higher rates of side effects with Avodart, I'm surprised your better now. I wonder if maybe you were just in better shape 7 years ago?
