I have been taking proscar as treatment for my prostate cancer for 2 years now and side affects that come and go are extreme dry skin on my eyelids and corners of my mouth. Extreme dry skin on my testicle sac.
Some fatigue and some depression. My chest hair is pretty much gone.

I have never experienced a feeling like this before. I had vivid, unexplainable dreams. The first night taking it, I had a strange feeling in my throat and woke up almost choking(that was on the list of side effects, closing of the throat. I kept myself up all night and now I feel like yesterday and today was one big long day. Now I'm getting the feeling again while I'm awake and am afraid to go asleep. I also felt very, very weak and dizzy all day. This is not worth it, I want my old self back already and this is only my second dose. I read up on Shen Min DHT blocker and want to give that a try. I'm 20 years old, have long hair and want to keep it, I love it like a child.

My breasts became enlarged after taking Propecia-my brother also developed breast enlargement after taking Propecia. Anyone else have that problem?

I took generic propecia purchased off the net for about 7-8 months. Recently, I started getting a soreness in my left testicle. I stopped taking the drug for 2 weeks and thankfully the pain is pretty much gone.

Since I stopped taking Propecia I have been experiencing a number of negative side effects. I can't get an erection, the tube called the vas deferens connecting my testes to my body has developed a lump on my left side. I have been treated with antibiotics and it has not taken it away. I have been off of Propecia for nearly two months and I still have problems with erections and I have no interest in sex. Can anyone tell me anything about it?

I tried taking Finasteride 7 years ago for hair loss. About 3 hours after taking the tablet, I got severe pain in my bladder, giving me the sensation that I wanted to urinate all the time.

I have recently tried to use Fina Lotion topically, and the same side-effect happened?

Would be interested to find out if anyone else has experienced this strange pheonomenon.

I was perscribed Propecia for alopecia, androgenic varient I think - Male Pattern Hairloss one. Side effects I am experiencing are trouble getting an erection. Never had a problem before, but since taking Propecia (have been for just over two months now) just can't get one, which is pretty bad :\
