Had my ht on the 19th of jan 2011.

 

 

Started minoxidil on the 20th and proscar(1.25mg) from the 21st. having erection problems(no early morning erections and surely not as strong as it was).

 

too early/psychological or a real side effect?

 

Should i stop any medications?

I used to take 1.25 finasteride but I wasn't happy with the side effects either and stopped. I decided to try it again on advice of Dr True, at .5mg this time, and so far, everything is great. No side effects but my crown has definitely thickened up. I also use Rogaine on it to enhance it further.

mailed my doc about this. he's asked me to stop for a week, and then continue taking 1.25mg every other day for around 2-3weeks, if i still have side effects, he has asked to reduce the dosage to 1mg, if i still have any, he has asked me to completely stop it.

Not really about testosterone, just the way your body is affected. My testosterone is high; above 700, but still affects me. I know other guys who are the opposite with no effect.
