A member asked:
What do the experts think, should my libido return to normal after finasteride (propecia) side effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you stop it: If you stop the propecia, (finasteride) the side effects will go away. However, so will the benefits. See if your libido returns to normal after you are on the Propecia (finasteride) for six months. Propecia (finasteride) lowers the dihydrotestosterone but not the total testosterone. Libido has alot of inputs other than just a component of a hormone, and your mind can make up for the slight hormonal change.(proscar=5xpropecia).
