Sexual Sides Update

ugh · Jan 4, 2006

Seven months of dutasteride and still ZERO libido, Im starting to really freak out big time here. For those of you who don't know I'm a 25 year old male who was on dutasteride for 2.5 years, developed major gyno and still cannot function sexually.
Life has been painfully difficult to live for the last year and half (when I started getting sides) I honestly don't know who long I can take this.
For those out there who think I'm raising to much of a fuss about this; my intention is to SCARE people away from dutasteride, its NOT worth it. Stay away!! I've got permenant sides and I'm only 25 years old. I feel like an 90 year old man, no desire for sex, no desire for life, no desire to live. Think twice folks....

Duta doesn't give permanent side effects, have you been examined by a doctor? any hormonal check-up, scan for gyno?

ugh if you experienced such severe side effects I'm wondering - were the results impressive?

Permanent sides? I doubt it. Dutasteride takes at least 6 months, at the .5/mg dosage to leave your body. 2.5 years is a lot of time. Give it some more.
