Hi everyone I'm Marcos! I'm so glad I found this forum as there is many people with hair issues that can give you advice So I'm 19 and I've been on Propecia for maybe 1 and a half months now. I'm using Minoxidil 5% once per day at night. I'm probably a really bad norwood 2 with receding hairline and frontal loss and thinning and also loss on the crown. I've seen so much written about Propecia and its kind of on my mind everyday when taking it. If propecia was giving you bad sides like loss of libido and ED would you simply not be able to get an erection? Because I still get morning wood and stuff like that! Also, Is it ok to still go out to partys and drink with your friends and stuff? Or on the day I go out should I not take Propecia if drinking? Sorry to sound arrogant and silly, I know there's people with worse problems but I was just wondering about this. Thanks for your help and nice to meet you all!! :whaasup: I know the propecia question is weird but I was just wondering because of all the stuff you here its soo scary! How long also should I give treatments to work? I'm thinking about using them daily for a year and take it from there results wise, is that a good idea or not? Thanks again everyone, Best Wishes!

Some people on Propecia lose their libido to some extent but can still get erections. If you haven't seen any change in your sex drive, that's a good sign. As for drinking, I'm not sure if there is any scientific evidence to determine whether alcohol should be reduced when taking Propecia. Anecdotally, I've heard of some people who need more alcohol to feel drunk while on Propecia, but I've never experienced anything like that. I'm guessing you are safe, but check with your doctor first.

Taking your treatments daily for a year is a good plan. Chances are if you will get regrowth it will happen within a year. Just make sure to take plenty of pictures, and if you're happy about your results then you should continue your treatments.

No problem drinking and taking Propecia/Finastaride. I have been on Finastaride about 8 years and have never had any effects while drinking. As for having to drink more to get drunk, this is true with me due more to quite a few beer drinking years and tolerance. Doubt Finastaride has anything to do with it

Jasper and bad genetics Thanks soo much for your help, very much appreciated I feel though my libido has maybe dropped like a small bit but i'm not sure if it has or i'm just over thinking about it too much? :wow: Can Propecia and Minoxidil help with temple regrowth? In all my places of loss I've either got fine thin hairs left or like peach fuzz

It's very possible that the side effects are in your head, but you should keep an eye on them. Both Propecia and Minoxidil can help with temple regrowth, but that is the hardest area to regrow. If you're an excellent responder, you'll see results. If not, hopefully they will at least maintain what you have.

Thanks bad genetics! I think maybe it has lowered my Erection frequency and sex drive a small amount but I cant tell if that's real or in my head!? The last thing I want is to loose my sex drive as I eat a good diet and do lots of exercise! But I can't tell if this is Physical or Psychological? If Propecia was affecting libido would it not allow you to have erections in the morning and stuff like that? Sorry to go in to detail!! If this keeps worrying me would it be possible to drop down to 1mg every other day? Thanks
