Re: Finasteride side effects - how to reverse them please?
I have pretty much the same scenario as Christian G.
In June 98 I started to take finasteride 5mg for a hair loss problem. I took half a tablet every 2 days for 6 months.
Everything was great to begin with ie, it stopped my hair loss but I began to notice a decrease in my sexual desire
which is very worrying for a 23 year old. I came of the tablets completely but 3 years on, I am a little better
but notice still a lack of desire for sex, I have gained weight and my strength is not what it was. I have been to see
my doctor as I thought it maybe my testosterone levels had been reduced. But this is not the case. I excercise
regularly but this and time have only marginally helped. I have had other side effects, ie, reduced fluid in ejaculation,
impotency/loss of libido, and increased sweating. My testicles feel cold and its as if the blood is just not circulating
properly.
Can someone please tell me how to reverse the effects of finasteride, ie, the ingredients of the male tonic and
prostate tonic, or any specialist in the UK that maybe able to help (ie a herbalist, sex therapist??), or if anybody
has found some sort of supplement that may help.
