    Having finasteride. sides; what to do while waiting for bloodwork?

    I'm 27, 5 foot 8 and 130 pounds. Since I have no bassline to compare to, I can't tell if finasteride. lowered my testosterone or not. I've been off of it for eight days now, and I feel mostly fine, probably because I've been worried about it less. Erections seem back to normal; I had wonderful sex last...

    Having finasteride. sides; what to do while waiting for bloodwork?

    Got the blood test back; Testosterone was indeed 422. Doctor says that's normal; is it? He wants me to go back on finasteride with a reduced dosage of .5 mg a day and try that for two weeks. I asked if that could do long-term damage, and he said no, you can only do long term damage if you are on the...

    Having finasteride. sides; what to do while waiting for bloodwork?

    Ok, so I'm still waiting on bloodtest results—frustrating!—but I heard over the phone that my testosterone levels are somewhere in the 400s (I think maybe 423?) Is that anything to be worried about? I know the average range is between 200-800, so it seems a little low, but I'm not sure...

    Having finasteride. sides; what to do while waiting for bloodwork?

    If all the allegations on PropeciaHelp are true, though, why has there never been an actual study on this? I don't doubt there claims, but it seems the science just doesn't back up the allegations they are making.

    Having finasteride. sides; what to do while waiting for bloodwork?

    Usually take finasteride. right before bed (under the logic sexual sides will be worst right after I take it, so hopefully they'll be less during the next day). Skipped my first dose Tuesday night, by Wednesday night I was already feeling able to perform better; that gives me confidence I haven't done...

    Having finasteride. sides; what to do while waiting for bloodwork?

    Thanks, guys! @GK - How long did it take for you to recover? Did you ever get back to 100%? @Enden - Thanks for the researched advice; I really respect your opinion. So you don't think I'd be risking any permanent loss of function if I continued on finasteride? If that's the case, I'm more than...

    Having finasteride. sides; what to do while waiting for bloodwork?

    Hi all; longtime lurker. I am 27 and have been on finasteride. for three weeks. I started at 1 mg a day, but after some mild sides went down to .83 mg a day (cutting a 5 mg pill into 1/6 pieces). Noticed tolerable sides within just a day or two; my testicles ached and my erections weren't quite as...
