    Sudden onset sexual side effects from finasteride?

    there is too much unknown as your stress levels were high which will cloud everything. but you have to think realistically and logically. The fact that you clearly stated you had stress automatically makes it impossible to clearly define if it was the stress or the Propecia. If you had no...

    can't believe this...after 7 yrs on Propecia...32 yrs old

    Re: My Endo is open to the findings from other finasteride users very very helpful. thank you. I'm sure to incorporate this into my plan of action with her you mentioned that estrogen elevation was observed in the merck study. Where can I view that particular study? (unless you are just...

    can't believe this...after 7 yrs on Propecia...32 yrs old

    My Endo is open to the findings from other finasteride users 7/9/2011 blood test (3 months post finasteride) LH 4.1 FSH 1.6 testosterone 856 (249-836 ng/dL) free t, direct 13.0 (8.7-25.1 pg/mL) SHBG 77.5 (14.5-48.4 nmol/L) estradiol 37.0 (7.6-42.6 pg/mL) estrone 45 (12-72 pg/mL) letter from...

    How do you keep Rogaine from melting/liquifying?

    if the bottle sits in a room that has air temp over 75/76 degrees, then it does become a little more "liquidy". The air temp must remain no greater than 77 degrees but as I said, 75 or at most 76 degree should be the highest air temp exposure to the bottle.

    Propecia decreases bioavailable testosterone!

    to clarify I am fine physically (knock on wood)...... A fews after stopping finasteride, my free T level was 8.3 (8.7 -25.1 pg/mL) from a 4/8/2011 blood test*. Then on a retest* on 5/6/2011 the free T was 34.98 (15.5 - 102). My endo realized the oddity when she saw the 4/8 and 5/6 blood tests...

    can't believe this...after 7 yrs on Propecia...32 yrs old

    had a follow up visit with my Endo today to discuss if I should take another blood test to see if SHBG levels would go down. She advised against another test because she's seen too many ppl get into this loop of testing and re testing, especially now that there is no difficulty now with ED...

    Try Finasteride?

    I don't think you quite know how amazing your story is. I think it could be ground breaking if in fact you had total or even partial ED and recovered while still on finasteride. To all those people who have or think they have ED/libido issues from finasteride, they could look to your story for hope (I guess)...

    How to know if having finasteride sides?

    the most noticeable effect that I think comes first is clearer prostate fluid (no pun intended)

    Try Finasteride?

    Just to be clear, you never stopped taking propecia 1mg/day, uninterupted? If that is the case, how did you mentally stick with it and pop a pill each day knowing it probably was the cause of the ED?

    Try Finasteride?

    Dude this is really interesting. I wholeheartedly agree that Propecia will help maintain hair well beyond the point of when you would normally thin out badly. Can you please detail as best you can what you meant exactly by low libido? Was it an ED thing? Or just less desire to have sex? etc...

    Using Minoxidil alone

    it's not that you didn't infer what she meant by that, but your ignorance as if you knew what she meant, is staggering. DHT is what she meant genius.

    Using Minoxidil alone

    while my endo (and urologist) didn't think Propecia was the cause of my episode of ED, she would never recommend this drug for hairloss ("nature wouldn't give us anything that we wouldn't need"). Clinical controlled studies mean nothing until a generation of men have run the gauntlet. The 1st...
