Hi All,
Yesterday, after 90 days on Finasteride, I made the unfortunate decision to stop taking it. First off, it truly did regrow my hair at an unbelievable rate, that I cannot deny. My hair now is stronger than ever. In fact, it is so strong and thick that I actually struggle to comb it due to the comb getting caught and tangled in the hair. PICS here: http://www.hairlosstalk.com/interact/showthread.php/97614-First-90-Days-of-Finasteride-(PICS)
However, as astonishing as the results are, I ran into extremely noticeable and frustrating side effects over the last 15 days of treatment, despite experiencing 0 side effects during the first 75 days. The side effects boil down to reduced sex drive, slightly weak erections, and reduction of penis sensitivity.
Side effects breakdown
Yesterday I had an embarrassing hic-up with my girl when I could not finish, despite her tremendous efforts, and I had to come clean about everything. Luckily she was very cool and understanding about it. These three side effects have made me conclude that the cons outweigh the pros for me. My biggest priority right now is getting my sex drive back, so I am stopping Finasteride entirely at this time. It is likely that I will return to finasteride in the future under a different regimen.
Have any of you experienced similar side effects and found any solutions? Any modifications to your regimen that improved your situation? Any help is much appreciated! If you feel more comfortable, feel free to reach me via PM.
Saludos,
Henry

Side effects breakdown
- REDUCED SEX DRIVE: I essentially have no sex drive when I am away from my girl (up to a couple days at a time). No erections throughout the day whatsoever, not even in the morning. I also find myself not thinking about women or sex, and don't feel particularly excited to hang out with my girl.
- SLIGHTLY WEAK ERECTIONS: Took me two weeks to notice it, but my penis has not been getting fully erect. When I am with my girl, I have no issues getting an erection, but it is only about 80% hard and tends to soften more quickly if we take a small break or slow down.
- REDUCTION OF PENIS SENSITIVITY: By far the most noticeable and frustrating side effect. I am normally an incredibly sensitive guy. If I am not with a girl for a couple days and we go at it, I would finish fast, at least on the first round (; . However, now I find myself lasting an incredible amount of time, virtually forever if I wanted to, and I have to concentrate more and more in order to be able to ejaculate. This is completely inconsistent with the way I am and totally unacceptable.
