I’m 18M and have been on oral finasteride 0.25 mg daily since early August 2025 (almost 4 months now).
I started it because my hairline began receding quicker this year.
My issue:
I still have mild sexual sides, and I’m not sure if this is normal at the 4-month mark or if I should adjust the dose and i strongly belive that i m going thru a nocebo( yeah for 4 months).
My current sides:
-
Softer erections
-
Lower libido compared to before
-
Morning wood only occasionally
-
Still able to get erections with stimulation
-
Still able to masturbate
Hair situation:
-
Fin seems to have slowed shedding
-
TE from earlier has mostly calmed
-
Hairline still thin but shedding isn’t crazy anymore
-
On Tugain 5% once daily + ketoconazole 2x/week + vitamins
-
As such i am not able to see any major regrowth
Pls let me know what i can do best here in this situation I am in college and would really wanna just pass these 3-4 years peacefully.

Thank you**
