Title: Propecia, Finasteride website
Post by: emasculated on March 09, 2014, 02:05:58 PM
While searching about our lovely disease I found this website about Propecia / Post-Finasteride syndrome:
PROPECIAHELP: Persistent Finasteride Propecia Proscar side effects info & forum (http://www.propeciahelp.com/)

For those who don't know this a syndrome which occurs after quitting a certain drug for hair loss and prostate problems.
The drug basically messes with the hormones and endocrine system of men causes symptoms like depression, ED, genital shrinking and among those also Peyronies. Many young guys are affected basically ruining their lives (I doubt they just claim this in order to win lawsuits) and what might be interesting for our cause is that people in this society are pushing for research to figure out the cause and find a possible treatment. There is a class action lawsuit under way in Canada.

Finasteride as causing Peyronies and ED was discussed on the forum.
You have 26 posts in the subject.
On the Finasteride box is written clear that ED is a side effect.
It was given to me to shrink my prostate, got mild ED and stopped immediately. The ED gone also after 2 months.
