Thanks, you guys have been great.

I honestly think not smoking herb is going to have the biggest impact. I dont really ever feel awake nowadays. It helped me get through a real rough patch in my life, but things are seriously picking up, and I want to feel alive again.

That being said, I do know for certain that the finasteride has had an effect. Hell, that is the reason I came here for advice. finasteride really is a catch-22.

I have heard of horney goat weed and L-arginine being used as libido boosters. Just get back into shape man!
Thats the plan!

Thank you all for your help. I'm actually feeling a bit more spry already. And good luck to you guys in a similar boat.

both i guess....hauntedballroom more though

Well, I was extremly paranoid about sides from the start so that would make the problem a hell of alot worse. There were a few times where about to have sex and nothing was happening downstairs. Thats possibly physcological, but I also had no morning erections or nocturnal ones for almost two weeks. (There are tests you can do to check nocturnal ones). I took that as a bad sign so I stopped without reducing the dosage. I didnt want to wait to see if it would pass incase I was in the percentage of people who seem to get very drastic sides.
Now im looking for an altervative dht blocker but dosnt seem like there is much that compares to finasteride. If I cant find anything, I may get back on it and try reducing the dosage and hope that it works out

Lack of morning wood is not caused by psychological problems. I had similar problems on finasteride

What in the world is the test that you can do to check for nocturnal erection. Please share.

its a normal sleep test.
They put a strain gauge around your penis and it measures if you get an erection or not at night.

They use it to test impotence.

Probably not worth it for me to get one I take it. I am sure I am OK plus I am fully committed to the Propecia love for life.
