Regular Member BitingMyNails Posted July 21, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted July 21, 2010 Ok... I've been on Propecia for a couple of years and I have noticed a significant decrease in sex drive with less frequent and weaker erections. For what its worth, I just turned 39 so that could be a factor as well. There was a period of time that I was taking Effexor (an anti anxiety anti depression med)... While weaning myself off of the Effexor I always noticed the erection issues.... I am no longer depressed but I am tempted to get back on the Effexor so I can gett good wood again... I really don't want to do this so I had my dr. prescribe a testosterone cream. I am noticing a lot of shed in the two weeks that i have been taking the cream.... I was under the thought process that the dht would be blocked by the propecia.... any thoughts on my conundrum would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member waveskier Posted July 21, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted July 21, 2010 I use Androgel (Testosterone gel) and my doctor gave Arimdex to counter the estrogenic effects. No problems at all and it has been years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member waveskier Posted July 21, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted July 21, 2010 No Propecia, however I did try Avadart but did not like the list of side effects. I took it for a couple of months and ddn't notice any problems. It really didn't seem to do much of anything for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay1965 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Have you considered lowering the dose of propecia? Talk to your doctor (not my word) first, but that's what I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
