So I've been on topical fina for more than a month, I just decided to start oral yesterday @ .5 MG. I still have some topical left, but I figure since I intend to taper up to 1.25 mg, better start now. I have not noticed any sideeffects until yesterday on the topical, in fact my little friend has been fairly active considering I don't have a sexual partner (lol, so hard to talk about this stuff seriously without smirking). I've been taking DIM and lifting weights or working out at least 5 times a week (mostly weights and always with some kind of resistance exercise) in an attempt to keep my T levels high. I've also been taking zinc 50 mg twice a day, because bro science says it's good for the dick and it's cheap so why not. Yesterday, though, I ran into a little trouble while trying to jack it. Now, when I first started topical fina, I said I would go on no p**rn and no fap to make sure any side effects were immediately noticeable (I've had ED both alone and with partners that I am fairly sure was 100% anxiety/situational induced, since I have not used any type of drug which could cause that affect before September and I've also had great sex, including in my car, and I jack off if anything way too frequently). I failed after two days lol. I told myself I would do so (for realsies this time) after starting oral, but this time didn't make it a day lol.
But even though my libido was high enough to push me into breaking my vow, the thing is that last night I had some trouble. That's not to say, I didn't get off, I did, 3 times actually, but I found my erection to be weak and hard to maintain (I can usually come back for more fairly quickly, I don't find that I lose interest in sex after climax actually). Now, it's possible the lowered DHT levels are getting to me, however yesterday my $600 bike was stolen while I was in the gym and I had to walk home 2 miles sweaty and cold from the gym, and since I haven't really made friends here in LA I consoled myself with a burger and a drink alone at a local pub. I also just started oral fina the same day, with the obvious trepidations. Obviously, fina could have nothing to do with my problems. However, I am paranoid that it might. Since I am on this forum I am already a neurotic mess about something that at near 30 most people don't find to be an awfully big deal.
The whole mechanics of the erection are such a mind f***. The more you try to get one, the more stressed you get, the less likely it is you'll get a good one, and good luck trying to make yourself relax. I don't know what to do.
1. How can I separate my mind f*****g me over from the sides?
2. Side note, besides DIM, zinc, and working out, what can I do to counter the hormonal affects of fina that's both safe and not too damaging to my har? I've considered going back on creatine, even though it would run counter to the fina I figure if fina's reducing my DHT by 70% than the boost from creatine four or five times a week won't have that much of an affect on the hair but might be positive for my junk.
