Should I ride out my Finasteride side-effects?
I’m 19 and I’ve been taking 1 mg of fin daily for one week. My libido has dropped and it takes forever to get an erection. I also have slight ball ache, watery semen, and possibly some headaches, but that’s probably just because I haven’t gotten enough sleep this week. I’m not paranoid to be honest. But will these side effects subside eventually? Should I try to ride them out? It’s mainly the low libido that’s worrying me. It’s unfortunate timing since I met a girl I really like recently.
If you have sexual side effect from finasteride and don’t reverse them by reducing the dose, then you should stop the drug. The risks for Post Finasteride Syndrome (if it exists) is high if you continue to take the drug. You should see the doctor who prescribed the drug to you for advice.
