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

Did you spell his name correctly? Does he have a website? What is his background/specialty?

Can't seem to locate him in Google, there are many Dr. Pearlman/Perelman/Perlman

This is him:

I think I might check him out too....

Voice please let me know how this goes....

I actually spoke with Dr. Perelman today on the phone, seems really cool and interested. He's expensive but I believe I will see him and see how much my out of network coverage will cover....

I'm sure you already know this, but Dr. Perelman's web site states that he is a psychologist, not a physician. In all likelihood he won't be able to prescribe medicine for you.

ya i saw doctor perelman and he is having me do some behavor treatment. Which i would rather there be a mircle pill but what can you do. He thinks it is definatley physcial to begin with but that i might be still carring out the problem psychologically. Which to me does not sound any more crazy then being on a drug for 2 and half months and having side effects for 3 years.

the method is i go without masturbating for 7 to 10 days then i almost climax but i stop then i do this again and again then i climax and i am supposed see if this feels pleasurable.

That technique is called edging, and it is a good way to raise test levels when you don't let yourself climax. When you finally do, it's pretty intense. (or it's supposed to be anyway)

Voice,

I may go see him. Can he prescribe meds? Was he helpful and understanding?

Voice, did you look into the Midodrine from my previous post? The docs doing the work are pretty local to NYC - kazman

i have not tried any drugs as of recent i am doing the behavior method and there might be something to it i will need more time to make any opinion what so ever

Voice, originally in this thread, when you said Dr Shippen says that 20 -25% of Fin guys dont respond to treatment, is this ALL treatment including hormone replacement (TRT etc)?

Or is this just the ones that dont respond to naturally healing?

I think I know what the answer is, but just want to make sure im reading this right. I know Shippen is very hesitant on prescribing TRT before everything else has been exhausted.

Voice, He is certainly entitled to his opinion regarding a lawsuit, but there are dozens of different strategies that could be used against Merck in a lawsuit. The point being I don't think we need to have all men experiencing the same hormonal problems to have a strong case against them.

I have always felt the base case against them for a lawsuit would be their statement included in with the drug, that side effects would subside after 6 months of discontinued use. They did have the long-term tests done to that would be required to validate that statement. There is a well known dr that was opposed to the finasteride used for hair loss for this very reason. I can't recall his name. Maybe someone can chime in and add it.

ya i have tried Dht and testosterione but i have not done any hormone replacement that seems like that would be last option

hey i have just got back from the mayo clinic they ran some test on me including ultrasound, they said every thing looks normal except i have a very small cyst on my ejaculatory duct. I asked the doctor since i have an ejaculatory problem if that could be it. He told me no but he wants to do another ultrasound in a year he said i should see a psychologist in that time. Maybe its in my head maybe its not. I dont know i suppose it is the mayo clinic and he knows what he is talking about. I was just curious if anyone had an opinion on this cyst thing.

It was some time ago, but I talked to one of the urologists at the "prestigeous" Mayo Clinic. After I told him about my circumstances, he told me there is no "cure" for ed, I was like wtf, no point in continuing this conversation.

That was a long time ago and hopefully things work out better for you. Keep us informed.

It could be a sex chord stromal tumor. These often secrete hormones or hormone like substances such as inhibin. Any chance they checked your inhibin B level?
