PROPECIAHELP: Persistent Finasteride Propecia Proscar side effects info & discussion forum

Long time reader, first time poster here. took propecia for a year back in 2005 for hair loss when I was 21 and have been dealing with the side effects ever since. No more morning or spontaneous erections, ED, and problems with libido. I do feel better now then when I first figured out what the problem was and dropped propecia right away. When I stopped propecia I couldn't even ejaculate right, when I kissed a woman my dick wouldn't even move, tired all the time, major issues with brain fog and depression also. I must say I feel more clear headed now, Im actually happy with my life, and feel more energetic as time has passed, but the sexual sides continue till this day. I cannot remember losing a single hair follicle since I stopped propecia and it's been over 3 years. I went from being practically bald at 21 to no hair loss since. I feel DHT and Estrogen are my main problems. Back in 2006 after I stopped my levels came back at total t (200-800) 586 estrogen - (0-52) 35 and DHT - (25-75) was 35. Pretty decent total t levels but kinda high estrogen and low dht. After fumbling around with different doctors who didn't believe me I was then referred to dr. ricardo munarizz in boston. In 2008 he put me on clomid 25mg. a day which brought my total t to 888 over the normal t scale but also increased my progesterone levels over the max range 2x which then lowered my dht levels 15 on a (25-75) scale. I felt stronger on clomid, increased ejaculate and slight pick up in libido. I felt it helped restore some normal levels in my body, did get twitchy eyes while on it one of the listed side effects but it stopped after I discontinued. When I went back Dr. Munarizz he put me on androgel 5mg a day after I stressed to him that my issue is DHT and that my body could no longer produce normalized levels of it. I tried androgel for a month feeling very skeptical due to the fact that I recently got married and would like kids in the future. On androgel my prostate started to rumble like it use to and started to have some better erections and orgasms i haven't had in years. I had problems ejaculating at the end of the one month use and stopped, looking back it was probably due to estrogen levels increasing in my body because I wasn't taking an AI. I feel that long term TRT with armidex and frequent blood tests will be my only saving grace. After years of struggling I will now go back on TRT and try armidex 25mg 3 days for a 6 month period to see how i feel . At this point I have nothing to lose I feel I have been patient with the chance of me recovering naturally after all these years. I feel that TRT is my only hope on getting DHT high enough to feel normal again. I wish everyone the best of luck in their pursuit to feel normal again.

how long long did you use clomid.
thanx

bruins2,

you never mention your free T level. Everything I have read indicates that Free T is thought of in more high regard when it comes to sexual functions. You still don't get morning wood or spontaneous erections?

used clomid for three months, free t level after propecia was 18 on a 10-55 scale very low. still no morning wood or spon. thats why im going to give trt a shot.

did you test your T level after T? is it higher before clomid or dropped back lower than the orig value
I was on TRT and my T is constantly going down eversince I came off TRT. TRT gave me trouble, big chest and water in my ankles and heavy legs wich I was struggling with while walking.
