Senior Member olmert Posted February 29, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted February 29, 2012 I tried finasteride. I actually gave it 3 trials. Each time, it completely took away all sexual urge. Is there any way to stop this sexual side effect, or to mitigate it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member stashthecash Posted February 29, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted February 29, 2012 you can try is cut down on the portion size you take...take smaller amounts that has helped curb side effects for some. Good luck man i personally would never take it myself it would be last resort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member RCWest Posted February 29, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted February 29, 2012 Have you tried smaller doses? How were you taking it? Were you taking the real 1 mg. Propecia or were you taking Proscar cut into 1/4's? Some doctors say results are just as good if you take it on a Monday-Wednesday-Friday schedule. You can also try .5 mg. every other day. I've found that taking a Zinc supplement really helps with sex drive! Finasteride 1.25 mg. daily Avodart 0.5 mg. daily Spironolactone 50 mg twice daily 5 mg. oral Minoxidil twice daily Biotin 1000 mcg daily Multi Vitamin daily Damn, with all the stuff you put in your hair are you like a negative NW1?

Senior Member olmert Posted February 29, 2012 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 29, 2012 I was breaking the 5 mg pill into four pieces and then knocking a little off each one, so that I would have 1 mg. I guess I can try lowering my dose and taking it only 3 times a week. The problem is that it really destroyed my sex drive. I mean it took it down to zero. So I am a bit nervous a small dose will still have a big effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member olmert Posted February 29, 2012 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 29, 2012 Are there any studies that say Horny Goat Weed works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeSharma Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I was on finasteride for around a year. I experienced problem with sexual drive too. So I stopped it for 5-6 months. Within a week of stopping, I stopped experiencing any problems. I am convinced that this is because of finasteride because the same thing happened earlier too. Now hair loss has started again. I have again started taking finasteride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member bonkerstonker Posted March 26, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) Simple answer is download porn to your phone and watch a few minutes every day! That will raise your libido definitely. Finasteride takes away some of the automatic urge but you still want sex once you actually start the engine up so to speak. It just appears not very intersting before. Edited March 26, 2012 by bonkerstonker Bonkerstonker! http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=1977 Update I'm now on 12200 Grafts, hair loss has been a thing of my past for years. Also I don't use minoxidil anymore I lost no hair coming off it. Reduced propecia to 1mg every other day.

Senior Member Dutch Posted March 26, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted March 26, 2012 I agree with Bonker Try using half a tablet daily or even a quarter daily. If that doesn't work, try it every other day. http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=2329 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginola Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Has anyone tried Yohimbine Hcl? Or does it counteract the effects of finasteride? I have also heard of niacin (vit b3) and L-arginine to be of use for such purposes.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
