“There are three general potential threats with Propecia: decreased libido or sex drive, erectile dysfunction and ejaculation disorders. Clinical tests showed that 1.8% of all men treated with Propecia experienced decreased libido, 1.2% - erectile dysfunction and 0.8% - decreased volume of ejaculated sperm.Interesting to note that after 5 years of Propecia treatment, the above mentioned side effects disappear and only 0.3% of all patients still have them.”

I am facing a decrease in libido during my first 3 days of propecia. What should i do, should i carry on taking it? it seems that the side effect dissapear, or should i stop it.
Stay the course for a month or so and see if the problem goes away. If not, I generally advise my patients to stop the drug for a week (everything should be back to normal) and then try taking a half a pill a day and see if that makes a difference. I would see the doctor who prescribed the Propecia to you and alert him/her of these problems.
