| 1 | MPHL | Complete loss of libido. permenent impotence, dementia, gential numbness, genital shrinkage | This drug is poison and I will spend every waking minute making sure the criminals who marketed this drug get put behind bars. | M | 30 | 5 months 1 mg 1X day | 6/24/2012 | 3 | Balls hanging low, limp erections, penis lacks sensations, watery semen, fatigue, somewhat depressed, lack of interest in girls, porno is boring, sometime brainfog when talking to someone. | Sure, lots of fearmongers on the Internet. But be careful, playing with your hormones for aesthetic purpose is not always the wisest choice. (Sad fact: happiness is linked to your balls.) | M | 22 | 4 months 1 MG 1X day | 6/23/2012 | 1 | thinning hair | i feel stupid, cant hold a conversation, confidence in the gutter,gynocomastia( nipples enlarged) fuckin feel like im 13 all over agin, i have a girlfriend because i cant spit game anymoreaosdfkasjdnfkasdjnf. AND im COMPLETELY and utterly DEPRESSED ,, STAY THE AWAY FROM THIS DRUG | M | 21 | 2 years 1 mg daily 1X day | 6/19/2012 | 3 | Hair loss | After 6 months great results with hair loss. I then started taking half the dose .5mg and the results have stayed the same. Very weak erections, weak orgasms , small amount of ejauculate. No more morning erections | M | 29 | 1 years .5mg a day 1X day | 6/14/2012 | 1 | hair loss prevention | Penis shortened by 2 inches, severely decreased sex drive over time, reduction in orgasm intensity | I thought I would rather die go bald, and even I don't think this drug is worth it. The effects were very gradual and I thought they were psychological until recently. I stopped taking the drug 6 months ago, and while my sex drive is slowly returning, my size is not. | M | 40 | 5 years 1.25 mg 1X day | 6/11/2012 | 4 | hair loss | I'm pretty sure that any internet comments about propecia cannot be trusted because hair loss market is a multi billion business where two groups of interest constantly clash. There are those who provide real cures - finasteride, hair transplants and those who encourage hair loss and offer you prosthetics - toppik, wigs. Whenever I see a guy having depression, anxiety attacks, penile shrinkage etc. after days or weeks on propecia I'm just ROTFLOLing. Let me remind you people that Propecia by no means can be worse than castration. And castration has a long history in human kind. No history passages or medical documentation mentions that being castrated **** you up in any other way than taking away your sex life. Let's be serious now - Propecia is not castration, it just blocks one hormone that hasn't been proven to do anything good in male organism after puberty except for body hair growth, baldness on the head and prostate enlargement. | My shedding has now stopped and Im heading into regrowth period. I'm going to enjoy the next 10 years having my own hair than do a HT with much better results than those who are not taking propecia now. No side effects whatsoever. I will keep you updated. | M | 28 | 3 months 1mg 1X day | 5/19/2012 | 1 | I don't know what to do. I was told if I ever stopped any side effects would go away.. I had no effects for a year & then suddenly I couldn't get an erection.. I immediately stopped taking it & its been a month & I still can't get an erection. So my question is this??? If we are experiencing this is there anything we can do to cure or help combat this. Will drugs like Viagra work? I dont know much about that stuff cos I never had any sort of problems until taking this rubbish. I'm broken,no point in living on if it doesn't go away!!! Please please help. | PLEASE HELP ANY ADVICE WELCOME!!!! | M | 27 | 1 years 1X day | 5/14/2012 | 1 | I started taking this medicine about 3 days back, i lost erection i used to have and i had less amount of semen even if i could get an erection which was tough. I have stopped taking propecia for now. Will try rogaine. | M | 36 | 3 days 1 mg 1X day | 4/9/2012 | 3 | Hair Loss | Noticed the past two years - memory loss. Just seems difficult to retain certain information or recall information. Anyone else notice this side effect? | M | 37 | 6 years 1MH 1X day | 3/27/2012 | 1 | Hair loss | Anyone know if you developed "man boobs" and stop taking propecia will they go back to normal? I have 25k invested in hair transplants and I have no clue what is my transplanted hair and my normal hair. If I have lypo not only do I loose my hair I will loose my nipple sensation too. I am **** both ways. | It sucks | M | 55 | 4 days 1mg 1X day | 3/23/2012 | 2 | Hair Loss | Softer Erections, Decreased Sex Drive , Drecreased Ejaulations, After 6 months Hair really thickened up After 1 year hair gain is amazing I look 20 again | M | 29 | 1 years .5mg 1X day | 3/19/2012 | 1 | alopecia | Prostate area achy everyday, penis and testical shrinkage, no erections whatsoever, extreme depression, thoughts of suicide, stomach bloating and feeling fat everyday, forgetfullness, zero sex drive, antisocialness, didnt even want to be around woman anymore because of poor performance on the drug and how depressed the drug (very low.self.esteem) made me feel. | 35 | 1 years 1mg | 3/19/2012 | 1 | Male Pattern Baldness | I started waking up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall back to sleep (started 1 yr after I started drug). 4 years into the drug I got a curvature to my penis that went away after a year. 8 years into the drug I started to get ED, and shrinkage of the penis. I stopped taking propecia 6 months ago because I finally linking everything to that drug. I have been tested for all my hormone levels and everything is great, but I can't get rid of the side effects. My tests show that I have a testosterone level of a man in his 20's, but my equipment is like a man in his 80's. | I would never take this drug if I could do it over again! I was reassured by my doc without looking into it for myself. And yes, the side effects sometimes take years to show up, but they don't go away after you stop taking it! I'd rather shave my head then deal with this. What good is a full head of hair if you can't have a sex life??? | M | 46 | 10 years 1 mg 1X day | 3/12/2012 | 1 | Hairloss | No sex drive, ED, brain fog, reduced ejeculate, anxiety, insomnia, muscle spasms, liver pain... and all this AFTER I stopped using it. | Horrible, horrible drug. Dangerous and should have never made it to the market. | M | 28 | 90 days 1 1X day | 2/29/2012 | 1 | Hair loss | Less semen, seems brain foggy, I'm going off today, just reading these stories and seeing that I feel some of these. My testicles hurt sometimes too!! Just get a hair transplant !!! | M | 27 | 2 years 1mg | 2/25/2012 | 4 | Hair Loss | The first 2 months, no side effects. I felt good, no loss of sex drive actually felt like in it increased. Hair loss stopped and started to see new growth. Month 3 - A little more down hill, sex drive diminished, felt fatigued and had trouble concentrating. Month 4 - No sex drive, somewhat impotent at times, always feeling stressed, no concentration. Now 2 weeks off propecia, I am getting back to normal. Going back to minoxidil and herbal remedies, more of a pain in the ass but they work without the hell of propecia! | M | 42 | 4 months 1mg 1X day | 2/20/2012 | 5 | Mild Hairloss | None | I have been taking 1.25mg for a year and I must be one of the lucky ones. I have had nothing but wonderful benefits from this medication. My hair loss has stopped, it is regrowing, and I have no side effects. I am a happy customer. I seems like one person is repeat rating this drug (you can tell by the use of capital letters). Like all drugs, I am sure some do have side effects - but I am not one of them | M | 36 | 1 years 1.25 1X day | 2/6/2012 | 1 | Hair Loss | IMPOTENCE, NO LIBIDO, Depression, brain fog, fatigue, abdominal pains, dry skin, insomnia, hard testicles, deformed penis, uneven facial hair distribution. | I am currently 26 years old and started taking propecia (finasteride 1mg) when I was 19 years old. I took it for hair loss and at first it was great and it really worked. I can't say I noticed the side effects creeping in until year 6 when I started having some unexplained episodes of depression, forgetfulness, impaired speech and occasional impotence. I then started tapering off the drug and that's when the symptoms became even stronger which made me stop the drug completely. I am currently on week 2 without taking it and I currently have NO LIBIDO whatsoever, complete impotence, trouble sleeping, cant barely feel my cock at all. Note that I was an otherwise HEALTHY, HAPPY and INTELLIGENT and GOOD LOOKING 26 year old guy. This drug has destroyed my life and I will be taking part on the law suit taking place in Canada against Merck. Guys, please DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG no matter what. I used to think the side effects would not catch up with me but they do and they DON'T GO AWAY. | M | 26 | 7 years 1-1.25 1X day | 1/22/2012 | 4 | Hairloss | I can finally see a difference with my hair coming back after 3 months, I am on my 4 month of treatment. I have had different side effects from most people posting. I have an increased sex drive, which is great. I have double or triple ejaculation fluid which is thinner than before which has caused more sensation and longer orgasm, a big plus there. So far no adverse side effects that a lot of people are complaining about. Maybe they haven't grown any hair and they are angry with propecia, I don't know. | I hope it continues to work the way it is effecting me now. Hair is increasing and so is my sex drive. | M | 42 | 4 months 1mg 1X day | 1/19/2012 | 3 | hair loss | For the first 10 years of taking Propecia I didn't have any problems like have been discussed on this site and my hair looked thicker and pretty full. I get complements all the time how youthful I look. Then suddenly recently, I started to experience itchy nipples, grew small man boobs, got skin rashes, and reduced sex drive. I went to the doctor and got a full bloodwork done and I luckily I appear to be healthy. However he recommended that I stop the Propecia immediately. I will probably start on Rogaine now and may consider in the future beginning a lower dose of the Propecia if the side effects go away quickly. | The stuff really works on your hair. However, my recommendation is to monitor your reactions carefully. I still can't beleive that after 10 years of taking the drug everyday with no apparent side effects, even my libido was unaffected, that this has suddenly happened. | M | 54 | 10 years 1 mg 1X day | 1/18/2012 |
