Hey all, long time lurker, first time (obviously) poster.
I started the big 3 in June of '08. I got solid results and I knew it wouldn't completely regrow my hair, but keeping what I had was more important.
I never took more than .5 mg of finasteride because I was worried about sides. The first year was great and I didn't have any sides. My libido actually increased and I was horny all the time and screwing like a champ.
The second year was different. I started getting brain fog, memory loss, and had zero sex drive. It killed my relationship with my ex. I was still able to get it up but I did get limp a few times during sex. We broke up.
I kept taking finasteride and I did not sleep with anyone for awhile because I was not over my ex. The past 4 times I had a female in bed ready to go and I could not get it up. I blamed liquor every time and I knew it was the finasteride.
I quit in June of '10 and was able to get myself back to normal after one week. I decided to do .25 every day. Then I had an incident with a female and stopped.
I quit again in September '10, this time it took me about a week and a half to fully recover. Once again, another embarrassing incident with a female caused me to quit.
I started doing .25 every other day after I recovered. Then, you guessed it, I had another incident which hurt the worse because it was a female I was lusting over for 2 years. Completely hit me hard. I quit again on November 15, 2010.
Today, December 15, 2010, I am now fully recovered. It took one month to recover this time. I have had dreams the past two nights, had raging morning wood like I haven't in quite some time and I was able to get myself to near 100% erection without even touching myself. I was taking 50-100 mg of zinc, green tea extract, multi vitamins, biotin and fish oil everyday for the past month to recover. The previous times I recovered, I did not take anything.
To make a long story short (sorry for the long winded post!), should I try finasteride again, or am I just hopeless? Should I try finasteride EOD or every 3rd day with 50-100 mg of zinc every day as well? My hair has shed a TON in the past month since I've been off finasteride and I wanted your opinions before I give the fight one last try. minoxidil and Nizoral don't seem like they can do enough on their own.
Thanks for reading and for your replies!
