Hi Guys.
First of all I'm not trying to start an argument or anything but I was thinking earlier on about people that say that some of the side effects are mental such as loss of sex drive resulting in not being able to get erections and a lowering in the volume and quality of sex drive. I think on another forum there was a guy who said he began to suffer from a lower libido etc within 8 days and another guy said something along the lines of "You aren't experiencing any real effects, you wake up and one day it takes longer to get an erection than any other day, it just means you aren't as horny as you were yesterday no biggie" as I read it and with my own experiences of this being that I'm 21 and have always had a high sex drive and started up Finesteride just over 1 week ago and I'm suffering from lowered libido, soft erections etc, I mean it took me literally 10 minutes to get an erection earlier and plus I think I know my own body well enough that I know Finesteride has altered my libido when I could get 3 solid erections within 10 minutes of each other easily and would get hard with the slightest bit of cleavage constantly before I started Finesteride. I mean how could that be your "imagination" its started making me wonder if it's worth it. I've been thinking about whether a loss of sex drive and maybe worse knowing that my body is not having a good response to the Finesteride. I mean my dad's hair isn't that bad, Norwood 4 maybe even a Norwood 3 with grown out hair. Yes my hair is important to me as I feel like I look good and want to stay looking good and attractive for as long as possible. Sometimes I feel like I want to wake up bald tomorrow just so I could get a transplant next week and stop worrying about my hair. I don't think I'm as worried about my hair as other guys on this forum. I just feel like I'd rather go bald and get a transplant than take a pill every morning which will ruin my sex life. Anyway, I've realised I've went off topic but I needed to get my worries off my chest lol. I don't know how anyone is meant to reply to this thread but any replies would be appreciated.
