Starting finasteride again - already have permanent sides

[caper01012]

Hi, I'm a former finasteride user who has permanent sides. I took finasteride for about 6 months, and stopped probably ~6 years ago. Still never have morning wood, greatly reduced libido, and have ED. As long as I'm real into a girl, I can usually get things working well enough, but it's not like it should be.

About my hairloss, I don't really loose any hair as long as I don't lift weights, a few days at the gym and like clockwork there's hair all over the bathroom floor. I used to be jacked at 200lbs of muscle, but quit lifting when I quit finasteride because I chose my hair over muscle. I would love to work out again, and it's occurred to me, I'm suffering with permanent sides anyway right? Why not get back on the drug, and then I can lift, and keep my hair. The sides might get a little worse, but I can't get an erection most times anyway lol. Does this seem like a good idea?

No. finasteride likely accelerated your genetic predisposition to ED that millions of men have. I would work on solving the ED.

Your erectile dysfunction is very plausibly due to your increased body fat and decreased muscle.

It doesn't sound like a wise choice. I know it's tempting to buy into the idea that Finasteride has already done as much damage to you as it can do, but you really don't know that's the case. As a former finasteride user the thought has also occurred to me from time to time, but I've resisted. You know as well as I that your health is more important than hair. You can't undo the past, but don't use that as justification to make poor choices in the present.
