finasteride .25mg EOD

[102030]

Hi All,

I just stared taking propecia about exactly 2 weeks ago.

I have taken .25mg EOD with all the horror stories out there that some people tell i thought better be safe then sorry and see how my body reacts to the drug.

Everything was fine up until yesterday when i noticed a slight decrease in libido, my erections aren't as strong as i'm normally use to, my ejaculations also feel like they are less intense and have less volume.

I'm strongly thinking this is a side from the drug but given the low dosage don't know if i could be freaking out.

My hair loss has seemed to stabilize pretty well in the time though and seems that Rogaine works a whole lot better now than it ever did (little hairs are sprouting along my hairline).

Just a quick question though given that i have taken a total of 1.5mg over the two weeks would this be enough to give me the reported sides i am feeling and would these sides have the potential to be permanent if i stopped the drug from now on?

Thanks in Advance!

Ride it out I'd say, but its your physiology. I experienced the less powerful and decreased volume/density of ejaculation but it has returned to "baseline" and I'm at 1mg per day now, 1.5 months
since starting finasteride.

0.25 mg EOD is too low- you can't be sure it will even do anything. Should be taking at least 0.5 mg per day

I've seen rogaine become more effective with that dosage. So must be doing something i agree .5 would probably be more beneficial but if i think im experiencing sides now won't .5mg make it worse?

Whole point of .25 was to see how my body reacts.
