Trouble Getting Erection After 2 Weeks On Propecia

[Baldingat188]

I apologize if this thread is to much detail but has anyone else experienced this and had it go away?

The first week and a half of propecia my libido actually increased but now it takes a lot of effort for me to get an erection. Is this typically a problem that will get worse or will this subside? I really don't want to stop taking propecia but this was troubling

Your hormones are in the midst of levelling out, give it a month or 2 and reassess. You're also contrasting between your elevated libido. Forget about it for now and your erections will prob return to normal in the next couple weeks.

Alright thanks for the reply, I hope so man. It defiantly wasn't physiological either . Just kinda scary when your sex system doesn't respond anymore

The more you think about it the more it will develop into a psychological problem. I had performance anxiety before finasteride and even had an occasion while on finasteride with my ex gf. Both times I just put it out of my mind and my erections came back full force. Now I'm a little over 5 months on finasteride and although I may have spontaneous erections a little less, performance and quality wise I'm still all good, my refractory period took a hit as well, sometimes it takes me an hour to really want a second round. Exercise, eat healthy, drop excess weight and you can also look into taking a supplement called DIM.

I'm not sure if this is relevant but I am a virgin and I had a hard time getting an erection just to p**rn that's why I don't think it's performance anxiety related

I'll probly give it a week or so though anyways

Performance anxiety and overthinking getting an erection are the same.. when you have performance anxiety all your thinking about is staying hard, and that's what slumps you. In your case your focusing on achieving an erection. First of all, were you even horny when you were watching p**rn or were you just testing your erections

Hopefully those people who did have side effects and keep warning you won't give you anxiety too.

well usually when I watch p**rn I'm able to get an erection. I've never had anything like This where I couldn't achieve that. I am fine with this as long as it's a normal symptom that subsides with time though

I've been trying not to think about sides and the first week and a half have been great. If it's just a low spike in libido that's ok but I don't think was psychological

Welcome to finasteride, where your erections are sh*t and your libido is nonexistent. Kiss the random and morning boners goodbye also.

I use to push finasteride on this forum like a lot of these guys, but after a year on that drug there's no way I'd put hair over good sex with my wife. She complained about my erections and low libido far more than some hair thinning.

Finasteride never again.

I have been using RU and liquid Minoxodil since quitting 8 mons ago and I kept all my gains with zero sides.

Dam I was starting to feel optimistic about finasteride when I made it a few weeks in and my libido was good...

I'm curious about ru if it can maintain for people with aggressive hairloss. Hair is really important to me but it sucks to have ED also

I'm on the same boat as well. However. as @DoctorHouse rightly said, anxiety may play a huge role as well.

I get anxiety when my dutasteride pills are almost gone.

stop really not worth it in ur age
i took it for 3 days and got sides ppl keep telling me it's psychologic but i dont think cuz I used anabolic steroid in the past never had this f*****g problem ever even when my testosterone levels were 0.2 ya this low cuz i took blood test after the esters are cleared before start pct
never had this feeling ever I fealt my dick wasn't hard after quite the drug i was afraid of even masterbating cuz in my mind i was fucked by this drug reading all the stories in ph.com and here so obviously my minde make me worse I have been doing blood test every f*****g week all gr8 not good test free test dht prostate went to my endocrinologist he told me i am fine its in my head cuz no way in f*****g hell u will be fucked after 3 pills u may experience sides but ur mind made them worse
now I think i recoverd but I always freak when I think what I felt like or what i will be like if didnt stop loke to day i had a spontaneous ererction about 70 erect from nothing really i was talking with a friend about food I should be happy or say f*** I got an ererction from not i am a pervert but what's really was on my mind is is this ererction good is this mean i am recoverd? how strong was ir? why the head is not sensitive? so i dont think I recoverd? guess what lost that ererction
i have been getting morning wood since a month from stopping and i have been monitoring them before finasteride I hate if i get them cuz it's difficult to piss when u got wood
my point is do u really want all tha psychologic effects in ur life now? is it worth it? cuz u can be alright now but what about next year ?
that's my story with finasteride i know about it since 2014 when my hair loss started but i am scaerd to take it till last November cuz i was NW3 with mid scalp diffuse so i had to try
hope all work out for u

when did u noticed ur sides really no trolling man?

 

[Baldingat188]

I guess what I'm trying to ask is did anyone experience ED like this and then have it subside after time?

Is this just a low spike because of changing hormones or is this what I can expect if I stay on finasteride?

I am also 90% sure it is not entirely psychological - when you feel turned on and still can't get erection something is wrong

I always thought losing hair is worse then ED but this is really bothering me

u all ready sure it is not psychologic so listen to ur body and stop
i made a mistake drinking green tea after stopped finasteride it probably worsen my condition
