I'm 3 and a half months (maybe a little more) into finasteride and my side effects are worse. The first time I started I took 0.5 mg and had a pain around the groin area for the first week or so, which then went away. Over time my erections became weaker and harder to maintain and semen was watery. After a while this became better, but not completely gone but fine to the extent where I thought I'd take 1mg. Now it's been 2-3 weeks since I started 1mg and my sides are worse, groin pain is back
What I'm wondering is, should I ride it out or just go back to 1mg because my current plan is to keep taking 1mg for another week and then go back to 0.5mg. Also on 0.5mg groin pain was still there but was a lot more mild and a lot less frequent.
Edit: Also wanted to add, i'm not sure how much of this is in my head, I know the watery semen is not imagined. But I've been thinking about side effects for some time and think about them a few times a days.
