Hey guys, thanks for the replies. From the first day i started propecia it seriously reduced my sex drive to the point where i had none. The next day was no better and so on the third day i stopped it and my sex drive came back in the evening. Now i've been taking propecia 0.5 every other day and that seems to be working better. But i'm still really worried about the whole thing, it seems like almost every guy who takes this drug has sexual side effects. Can anyone else share their experiences with propecia? I just don't wanna carry on balding but not sure i'd rather be chemically castrated then be bald. Any advice appreciated.

Hey guys i would really appreciate some feedback from men using propecia. I'm 23 years old with receding hairline and thinning all over the top. I am loosing at least 100 hairs each time i wash my hair alone. Hairloss has greatly had a negative impact on my confidence. So i have been prescribed propecia by my GP and have started taking 0.5 today by cutting the pill in half. I'm really worried about taking propecia though because i hear so many stories about guys suffering permanent sexual side effects and i have even read that propecia caused extreme personality changes, whereby some men found it difficult to articulate, felt depressed, and lot's of brain fog. I was just wondering what your personal experiences are with this drug? How safe is it really?

I have read that propecia only lasts in the body for 5-6 hours before it is excreted. So if propecia only inhibits DHT production for around 5 hours a day then how is it effective? Wouldn't your body just produce DHT after 5 hours and thus carry on effecting and damaging the hair cells? I know propecia works but i don't understand how if the half life is only 5 hours or so. Can anyone explain?
