6 Months On finasteride - Worried If I've Got Sides.

[Pelaez]

Hi all.

i'm 22 and i've been on finasteride (generic 1mg) for almost 7 months. I did not get any sides until now. The first five months even my sex drive was higher than ever before, so i was really happy with the drug.

However couple of weeks ago i started to feel some testicle ache (not really painfull but annoying). After a week or so, the ache dissapeared. But that pain is starting again and i think that now my libido is really low and my erections are weaker. I couldnt have sex with my gf last weekend because of lack of interest and scare I think.
I have morning woods sometimes though (not too much, but last weekend for example).

I want to know all this is in my head but why did suddenly appeare? I dont want to be part of that supposed 2%..

So.. what to do now? Take a breath, take lower dose?, maybe is temporal and should i continue?

Thank you all.

If you have morning woods you're fine... lost of libido can be caused even by lack of energy, tiredness or you just eating really bad. For me its Temporal and if you gonna over-think it you will drop finasteride i bet, and then you will join famous pfs team and screaming over the world that finasteride has pernament side effects cause you dropped it and still no libido.

If you got lack of libido and you want really good suplements like i use to stay as "healthy man"

-zinc
-l arginina
-maca exstrakt
-selenium

i use Maca XL product. And i am really happy with it

Thank you, really appreciate it.

I will search about that supplements.

But what about the testicle ache? I dont think it's in my mind..

had Testicle ache also, its really common with finasteride.

But still wondering if its Testosterone raising or something else

From what I've read it makes sense that the ache is due to your body calling for more testo production.

Well... I took a lower dose last week (0.5mg).
Libido came back and get too many erections... I think it was on my head, or it was conjunctural.

I'm taking normal dose again. We'll see if i'm still okay.

even without finasteride your dick is sometimes numb... either because of your head or just physically fatigue
