Hi all,
I am in my early twenties and began taking finasteride about three years ago. I took it very consistently (1mg everyday) until about 3 months ago when I realized it had begun to effect my sexual health. I stopped at this point for about 3 weeks and things seemed to go back to normal before I started taking it again. Since then I have been extremely inconsistent in both dose and timelines due to my indecisiveness regarding whether or not I want to stay on the drug. In the last month I have taken inconsistent doses of around 0.33mg. Sexually things have also been inconsistent the last couple of months. I need to make a decision about giving the drug another serious try or stopping altogether. I figure my options are I can either give myself a drug holiday and start again or I can just start taking it consistently again and see what happens sexually. I really am unsure what to do at this point. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
