Hi.
This is actually my first post at this forum, and I will start off with a warning against this drug.
We all feel the importance of looking decent, be it your hair, body or a blasting dick.
I started with Propecia 1mg/day early 2006 to combat my hair loss along with growth stimulants, as minoxidil solutions - rogaine/Regine.
At that point, I was 20 years old and ready to fight off this plague that had bothered most of the my male relatives.
I took my precautions, went to the doctor, had his advice on the matter - he didn’t want to prescribe this drug to a fairly young and well hormone balanced male.
My preparations was complete, I was a frequent poster at a big hair loss forum, we all share our experiences on different boards right?
This time around I cared much about my genetic hair loss so I spent alot of time around there. (I still do, in hope for a cure)
Meds are fine I heard, if you get sides, fight through it.. It will eventually get better, I thought.
Let’s just say I understand my doctor very well this day.. Finasteride can really fuck up hormones for some people, I was one of them.
3 months into Propecia my life was literally turn upside down, my dick was practically limp and flaccid all day, and the worst part was I didn’t really care for it, since my sex drive more or less had ceased to exist. The ejaculations was all watery and there was no pleasure in it.
I could not focus in school, my brain was all out of focus. I had trouble sleeping at night. I didn’t eat much either..
I experienced my first real period of depression along with anxiety, everything felt like a challenge I couldn’t deal with simple things in life such as communication with strangers. Stuttering/stammering also became a reality for me.
I literally felt like a child, my balls was gone(no guts) and was afraid of everything.
I developed gynecomastia over this period, a development of abnormally large mammary glands in males resulting in breast enlargement. (Bitch tits)
Because of my anxiety, depression, limp dick, bitch tits, brain fog +++ I FINALLY came to a realization that something was not right, this wasn’t the person I used to be.
Never felt so broken, dead before - what had happened?
Propecia happened.
I finally found people to talk to, to share my issues with.
It still was people from hair loss forums, but this was the “side effects” people, which gave me some tips and links to forums that exists only for people like me, with long term issues like described.
I tell you this much, there’s thousands, tens of thousands people out there with loss of sex drive, impotence, penile tissue changes/shrinkage, peyronie’s Disease, genital numbness, brain fog, memory problems, depression, anxiety, comprehension issues, gynecomastia, muscle twitching, tinnitus ++++ due to finasteride (Propecia)
I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous this drug can be if you’re sensitive to it. I was.
Now, 3 years later I can’t say I’m all recovered, but the poison is no longer in my veins.
I guess my dick is ok, morning woods are rarely seen but I can summon the erection when needed.
I still feel anxiety, but not nearly as strong as before. The depression is gone. Brain fog gone.
Still saving cash for surgery to get rid of the bitch tits as I cannot wear shirts only in public anymore, or stroll the beach, just Google some pics of gynecomastia - it’s really fucked up, nobody wants that..
I’m back to being a athlete, my performance as a amateur boxer and soccer player is good. I feel alive again. I feel like chasing girls again.
Send me PM if somebody have questions about this matter, or issues. I’ll help.
Now, this post became longer than intended, but my hate for Propecia is endless!! Do serious thorough research if you are considering this drug, not half assed as I did.
In other news, I’m new to PE and I want to expand my little 5” cannon so the newbie routine jelq is on my mind this evening, not hair loss :)
