I’m not trolling, I just saw the drug mentioned here and decided to talk about my experience. I was a healthy guy in my twenties, and my sex drive went from high to non-existent while I was on the drug. Like I said, I can’t be sure Propecia was to blame, but personally I believe there was a connection.
Anyway, if you take Propecia and don’t get side effects, that’s great! Nobody said all men will get side effects and nobody’s questioning your virility.
Over the course of a few years taking Propecia, in my late 20s, I completely lost my sex drive.
When I started taking the drug, my doctor warned me of possible side effects. I figured I could just quit if that happened, and things would go back to normal. Eventually, they updated the labeling to say that side effects can persist indefinitely.
I’ve talked to men who have been on it for years without experiencing side effects. I cannot say for certain Propecia is the root cause to my symptoms, there’s really no way to know for sure, but I experienced a radical shift while on it. Taking a powerful but poorly-understood drug that rewires your sex hormones isn’t a decision to take lightly.
