Remember a hair transplant turns back the clock,
but it doesn't stop the clock.

I have taken fin for 7 months straight, 1/4 tablet each night , I too have noticed my sex drive has decreased since a year ago.
I am dating hot looking young girls and have trouble getting an erection or maintaining for a while.
The sensation is not like it was, it's as if my mind loves the look of my girls, however my dick is not interested.
I have never smoked,never taken any drugs of any kind, I am healthy, I am not overweight and I have not needed to work since the age of fifty, so I have 90% less stress than I had when I ran my business. I have been going to gym on average of 4 days a week for an hour so I keep fit and my eating habits are a lot better than when I was working.
Yes I am 53, however that should not have any effect.
I have stopped taking fin for around 2 weeks now, however things have not changed.
I return to my sexy girl friend at the end of January, so I hope there will be an improvement.
I pin point it down to Fin, this is the reason I joined this site to get a batter understanding of that horrid medicine.
I get my 2nd transplant end of January, however I will be keeping well away from Fin.

i have taking propecia more than one year..the results was exxelent..i stopped loosing hair and my hair is much much better..i have noticed that my sperm gone waterly and the morning erections is very rarely...sometimes during sex i lost my erection...i ask an adrologist and told me to stop it immediattly...i ask an urologist and told me is not a problem..i make anylazes all my hormons is normal but my sperm is a little weak.(i have to say here that i had erection problems and before propecia)

Have you experimented with erectile dysfunction medications like viagra, cialis, or levitra?

My older brother who is 62 years old and dating a hot 27 year old hispanic girl he met online recently got a strong dose RX of Viagra....100MG!....which I didn't even realize they made in such high doses....he reports sometimes he takes half and sometimes the entire dose and can go all night long with his new found pleasure.

If after reading , you still believe that hormonal disruptors are save, then go to a psychologist.

In about than a month after taking Finasteride, I feel signs of depression kicking in. I do have a lot of stress lately so I cannot be 100% sure it is from Finasteride, but I never responded to stress with this much passivity, dark moods, and overall lack of energy. I lost morning erection and sex drive is slightly lower, but no erectile dysfunction so far. The depressive symptoms bother me the most.

Made me sleepy and less aggressive, actually increased my sex drive, made my sperm watery, and did nothing for my hair so I stopped 2 years and nine months after being first recommended by HT#1 surgeon.

Also made my scalp more oily. Interestingly enough, HT#1 clinic stopped responding to my mails after I told them I wanted HT#2 and was stopping fin. I am 100% better off without this stuff.

the evidence against Propecia is growing , pls refrain from using it ...... can be a fatal mistake

After the initial side effects, I resumed taking it a few weeks later, and now I'm in month 7. I see the results and the sides are gone, so I don't see myself stopping it any time soon. If there is a risk I am willing to take it.

Thanks Matt Skiba, I 100% agree with you. I suffered a lot with Finasteride and the sides got worse after 6 months that I started to experience the first ED ever. It took my time to recover after quitting it however it really gave good result for my hair. Right now I'm using GNC standardized Saw Palmetto extract as an alternative which is at least better than nothing along with Minoxidil 5%. Thanks again for this useful thread. God bless you.
