TOPIC: PROPECIA for male pattern baldness

During the last 18 months my hairline has receded 1.5 Inch and thinned considerably possibly due to the stress of my procedure.
Has anybody on here had any experience using Propecia / Finnestride for thinning/balding or a receding hairline ?
If so please tell me about your experience
One of the possible side effects is erectile dysfunction, has anyone experienced this?
Also I\'d like to know if it has any effect on body hair.

I APPRECIATE THIS IS NOT DIRECTLY Phalloplasty RELATED BUT I DONT THINK ITS COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT BECAUSE ONE OF THE SIDE EFFECTS IS ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION.
THANKS.

Rek,

I have been using finasteride of about 5 - 6 yrs. I cut the 5 mg tablet into quarters and take 2 or 3 of the quarter tabs /wk. I turned 49 last week. I certainly think it stopped all of my hair thinning that was starting. As for my sex drive - well I guess it is less than 20 - 30 yrs ago but considering work/kids/life stresses I think I am OK.

I have been using propecia\\finasteride for 3 yrs, stopped all hair loss. Zero side effects. No change in sex drive. My sex drive might have gotten stronger. Did notice my beard grows in a little faster.

Cheers Jog

I\'m using minoxidil foam every day if that\'s what you mean
Thanks a lot for the advice Mustang.

Look up Miracle8 comments about stupid propecia. I Can\'t recall where they\'re at.

Propecia will kill your sex drive almost permanently. FDA approved it years ago and some how they messed up and didn\'t tell us all the details...

Use Costco foam twice a day every day, it DOES work.

Please elaborate Mustang
I\'m debating weather or not to buy some this week.

Do NOT even touch Propecia!!!!

Shave the dome! Workout! Get buff! It\'ll all be good. Believe me.

Thanks a lot I might have to give it a try
