I Quit Finasteride ~7-9 Days Ago And Have A Problem, Need Advice/opinions

[justbeconfident]

So i've been taking finasteride for a year.

My erections quality were getting worse and libido was going up and down.

I decided to try out and give finasteride a pause.

After 7 days of discontinuation i had 2 days of extreme increase in libido and erections quality. I thought about sex all the time like i used when i was younger and my boners were hard as a rock as years ago.

But now after 2-3 days from that moment, i lost all the sex drive and my erections arent as hard.

Im not sure if im about to crash my hormonal/neurosteroids levels and go into PFS or some sh*t.

Can it be connected with p**rn somehow?

Should i jump back on finasteride asap to avoid developing PFS?

What are your thoughts?

Hey I would avoid until you go back to normal as I had this at the start, stress can trigger low libido as well. So you might make yourself more stressed thinking about side effects in return will cause more sexual issues.

You could add supplement of horny goat weed and zinc which did help me with side effects when I took oral tablets.

I now use Topical Finasteride less side effects compared to oral, I have been fine since using Topical Finasteride.

I posted a thread should you be interested in Topical Finasteride, all details are below the compound pharmacy I use ship to most world wide countries.

I dropped it cold turkey, I remember sides took about a month to subside but I took horny goat weed and zinc. I also tried to imagine sexual thoughts and remove stress, the stress was hard naturally due to reading about side effects which you tend to panic.

Since I been using Topical Finasteride from different sources since 2011, but now I buy from Murray Avenue Apothecary.

Tappered off, but not dose wise, but with regularity of intake. I slowly started to take 1mg less regularly, ed, then eod, then once 3 days, then 1 4-5 days and then quit.
It would be too much pain in the *** to cut proscar pill into 10 pieces to try to get 0.5 mgs dose.

do not use any other 5ar inhibitor for the moment, even natural (serenoa, zinc, b6 etc, azelaic a. etc)
no, its not connected to p**rn and no, its not likely to be in your mind.
the rational would be to go to an endocrinologist and run some blood test, you need to check your hormonal profile first.
and there's a solution, be sure
