I dont know but my temper has gone up since taking Propecia for 1 month now. It was bad in the first place but its worse now.

Some men experience an increase of up to 15% of free testosterone when taking propecia... this could explain it

What Zen2Bald said, and yes, it will go away and as such *could* even mean total loss of libido for some. Only one way to find out. Don't mean to scare you.

Good news for u...it means those drugs are working as intended..it also means that the required level of DHT is being blocked....Now the only thing that should bug u is your androgen receptor sensitivity to the remaining DHT 20-30% which propecia isnt blocking or so which should bug u..

Ok well I'm glad i'm reacting to propecia, but i feel MUCH more agressive on this, and a bit i dunno...strange. spacey. DEFINITELY moderate side effects, but to be fair i ONLY started.

So WHEN will these annoying side effects go away? it definitely is making me feel so WEIRD.

i dont like it....it makes me feel indifferent.

is this normal? am i just reacting too hard on this?

sometimes my heart seems to skip a beat as well. its just odd.

Im considering if i should just take the dose every OTHER day and take less of it, or what not.

anyways, someone please get back to me and tell me what these effects are from. are they from having MORE testosterone in my body,...or less dht,...and even IF propecia isnt blocking the other 30% of the DHT, that doesnt concern me as much as im concerned about these damn side effects.

im also on rogaine, and nizoral and thats about it. t gel too.

so someone who knows something PLEASE tell me some good news on how to alleviate these side effects. they really suck, and they're affecting my whole mood. big time.

do they subside with normal usage? or is it dose dependent.

also should i get avodart instead, or just stick to propecia?

thanks guys.

i really appreciate it.

I know you want answers, but...

No one here can tell you what is going in your body. Propecia is doing its job by lowering your levels of DHT, but that is quite an abnormal and powerful change to your system. Some have side-effects, some don't, some even think about it too much and get psychological side-effects.

If I had to be objective, I would place you in that third bunch, because of the intangible nature of the symptoms, such as "it makes me feel indifferent".

You can either stop, or just try and relax and most likely most of these side effects will disappear.

Good Luck!
