I Asked My Urologist If He's Seen Post-finasteride Syndrome

What two different pills?Given that we know that finasteride sides are common, that likely reflects poorly on your doctor. He may not be able to recognize and/or diagnose the symptoms, like a lot of doctors. I will give you two supporting examples to substantiate the plausibility of my argument.
The first is with myself. I've dealt with erectile dysfunction for over ten years. I saw at least 4 doctors, 3 urologists, 5 mental health workers in that span, and ordered at least 5 blood panels meant to be analyzed. Their collective conclusion was that nothing was wrong with me, they were often reluctant to discuss anything, and they would give me irrelevant advice like "use saw palmetto" or "try these v**** tablets". They simply did not know how to recognize ED even though in some cases this was their job. I even saw some of the top sex therapists in the world, at one of the world's top five hospitals, who specialize in this and have for decades, they said that this was due top trust issues or stress or something, I followed their advice for a year and nothing improved. Finally, I was referred to another ED specialist, mentioned in the opening post. I pushed hard for a specific blood test and a specific ultrasound. Both came back mildly positive. I had my penile doppler ultrasound this week and the specialist said "Your issues are not psychosomatic." I am now on two different pills and everything is working fine. All of the previous doctors had no ability to recognize these symptoms because they were dealing from a limited selection of items.
The second is of a female friend of mine. She had issues for years. She was always extremely thin in spite of eating a lot, and she had sleep and heart rate issues. The doctors, multiple doctors, all dismissed her, they told her to relax more. I met her recently and I held her hand for a bit because she was drunk and could not walk in a straight line. Her hand was boiling, literally, it was the hottest hand that I had ever held. I mentioned this to her, and she told me that after TEN YEARS AND COUNTLESS DOCTORS (sound familiar?) she had finally found one willing to test for ... *drumroll* ... thyroid levels. Hers were sky high, she was on a collision course with premature death of heart failure in her 30s. She ended up having her thyroid removed.
So given this objective reality, that the overwhelming majority of doctors have a very hard time with issues similar to PFS, I have no trouble assuming that they cannot recognize PFS itself.

Yes, its true we know little about many things in the body. ED is not just the physical act of have a working dick. The brain stimulus, and the complex sequence of events that leads to it is so poorly understood how it all it works its laughable. So yes this kind of thing happens a lot, and there are lots of reasons behind it, but it is what it is.
The negatives and bad sides can pile up on propecia because its easy to criticize and find flaws in things but we all know fixing them or improving them is not. Propecia is bad, okay great, where are the alternatives? Where is the replacement we use instead? If you dont have one no one really cares to listen to people whine, and criticize.
