ive had to temporarily remove propecia from my regimen because my sex drive has just been totally obliterated and i cant deal with that

i think i will probably return to it but for the moment im just on minoxidil

is it possible to keep up my success only using minoxidil?

if you are doing it temporarily then you should be ok, in my opinion. the minoxidil should give an offset of growth in the mean while to offset the loss of hair you might incur from discontinuing the propecia... temporarily.

Why dont you try lowering the dosage or taking ir every 2nd or 3rd day? Just a suggestion

Take L-Arginine and a good multi-vitamin and don't wank it too much and your libido and boners should return forthwith.

i've heard stories claiming people had bizarre sides upon quitting arginine. legs feeling numb etc.

the other lot complains of building a resistance to the drug if taken for a long period of time.

i wouldnt take arginine for too long, you need to stay in touch with how long the sides last for you, and by taking arginine you're pretty much fooling yourself. what if you quit 6 months later and still have finasteride sides.

its my opinion the longer the sides last on finasteride, the longer they last after you quit finasteride. *shrugs...seems that way from the feedback on askdocweb.com

people who quit finasteride within a month, lose the sides quickly. people who've been on it for years complain of sides even 4 years after quitting it.

take arginine only when needed...

lower your dosage of finasteride down to every other day. an mg or however you wish and keep in track with how long the sides last.

If you're off propecia - you need to consider what kind of DHT Fighter to use instead.

- Dr. Lee's Xandrox5 or Xandrox15 are possibilities. (kill 2 birds w/ 1 stone).

- 2% spironolactone is the easiest I think.

- Crinagen, Revivogen, ZIX could be considered.

None of the above are as powerful as finasteride - but they'd (might) be better than nothing.

I hear ya

When I started Propecia I was in the same situation exactly - I was crazy paranoid - esp since I was away from my girl for 2 months of so - in the end I just gave it a break from all the jerking of for the few days before I saw my old lady - and when I saw her after a wee tipple of red wine I had the craztiest hard on - she even commented.

I recken you should give any 'test wanking' a break and you might find it in the company of the girl or guy you are into you should get your mojo back.
