Dutasteride makes me dead inside but it’s kinda nice

[Deleted member 19642]

I had the objectively most utterly brutal and devastating experience of my life but I honestly don’t feel much pain.

Like a little bit but I don’t really care. I also can’t feel any emotion that strongly now. I have been sexually and mentally castrated.

What do you guys think am I being a cuck or is this actually kind of a nice way to live?

Cause you can have horrible stuff happen to you and not even care? Should I get on Prozac and Xanax too for the ultimate in not giving a shit!

I am mentalcel (extreme OCD) and I was on lexapro for awhile and it destroyed my sex drive. I had to force myself to jerk off and it wasn't even fun. I didn't get any pleasure from looking at porn or anything so I stopped taking it, the medicine wasn't really doing shit anyway I was still hardcore mentalcel.

 

[Baldingman1998]

Same shit happened to me. I semi recovered but my brain and dick haven't been the same. Especially my emotions. Which sometimes literally don't exist and sometimes they are extreme. This drug should be banned fuck jews and their fake studies which say it's safe

Dut is well tolerated in humans and I believe that you're experiencing placebo side effects. However, you should try a Testosterone test if you are feeling that way.

Contribution of dihydrotestosterone to male sexual behaviour.

Serum dihydrotestosterone concentration was the only independent hormonal predictor of the frequency of orgasms;

plus being ~3 times more potent than testosterone and also stimulating the receptors longer, (but being broken down in the muscles), improving calm and energy production for neural resilience and strength

besides, i’m sure something’s been written up about DHT on this very forum

I disagree but can you post some sources so I can research into your argument?

Broke up with my ex after being on that shit...

It ruined her she was dead inside always sleeping. She also never wanted anything sexual she was a complete shell. Shit is horrible don't advise anyone go on SSRIs. I was going to go on them but after seeing how my ex turned out made me realize the bottle or any other number of drugs is better.

 

[Fgsfds]

Exact same experience with dut. Get on RU bro. I've been off dut for 1.5 years now, and have only gotten marginally better. For a while after I quit, I needed tadalafil to stay hard enough to fuck

How does this make DHT the principle male androgen when you need testosterone in order to create it?

Your point? you need DHEA to make testosterone

read what is quoted. enough hand holding

if you think you can get by with 0 dht and just testosterone, you’ve got a future potential career as a monk. in fact you’re halfway there if incel

there are even people with huge muscles but disturbed dht so they have a tiny penis. basically all of their androgens stayed testosterone. is that what you want

PS reading up on androgenicity vs anabolic activity may be useful. some steroid sites have good summaries of the matter for quick reading

DHT is far more androgenic than testosterone, so it is expressed specifically to make what is a man.

there is a dominican republic phenomenon of 0 dht kids who grow up as girls then become men (with small dicks) at puberty

interestingly, it is rapidly inactivated in muscle cells.
that is why it is not used to build muscle but to increase strength and psychology and as we see, sexual functioning

dutasteride is non selective which means it affects DHT almost everywhere which makes it even worse risk for side effects, sexual or otherwise

 

[Africancel]

What’s your dosage?

 

[ifyouwannabemylover]

DHT is far more androgenic than testosterone

yes but it doesn't circulate in your body like testosterone does

 

[Hero of the Imperium]

yes but it doesn't circulate in your body like testosterone does

testosterone is perhaps relatively a reservoir, somewhat analogous to DHEA. its main effect in contrast to DHT is muscular development (anabolism)

DHT by itself restores sexual behavior and function:

DHT and Testosterone: Benefits and Risks - Peak Testosterone

Most men know that DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is largely responsible for male pattern baldness and, all too often, that's about all they know.

www.peaktestosterone.com

2. Sexual Function and Morning Erections. Yet another study found that giving topical DHT to senior men with low or lowish testosterone levels lead to dramatic improvements in sexual function. [2] For example, both morning erections and the ability to maintain an erection were improved by the supplemental DHT. Again, limiting DHT does not sound like such a good idea.

3. Regular Erections. Again, an animals study showed that both testosterone and DHT were effective at restoring regular erections in castrated animals. [6]

4. Libido. One interesting animal study showed that castrated animals given DHT (and a metabolite of estrogen) had indistinguisable sexual behavoirs from castrated animals given testosterone. In other words, the down stream metabolites, or byproducts of testosterone (which includes DHT) can be as powerful as testosterone itself. [5]

testosterone still has androgenic activity of course.

i wonder what the etiology of post finasteride syndrome is. is it because the testosterone that would have become DHT now risks becoming estrogen, and thereby suppresses the HPTA axis

if so it’s kind of like roiding without PCT (or roided benefits), so a crash afterward with all androgens being low is not surprising

of course , it’s the “during” with DHT being suppressed that is already suspect for sexual function and neural resilience

humans are not mice or rats though:

In order to evaluate the direct effect of 5ARIs on sexual life, investigators studied erectile function in patients taking these drugs. Cunningham and Hirshkowitz (1995) designed a sleep-related erection study, with the aim of measuring erectile function objectively during double-blind administration of finasteride or placebo. Their purpose was to find the answer to the question, “Does finasteride impair erectile function?” Sleep-related erection studies provide objective measures of erection physiology and pathophysiology. Naturally occurring, spontaneous episodes of nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) occur with consistent regularity during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep in all sexually potent men. Twenty healthy, sexually active men were randomized to receive either placebo or 5 mg/day finasteride for 12 weeks according to a double-blind study design. Erection physiology was assessed by a polysomnography device. The investigators found that finasteride did not consistently suppress sleep-related erections compared with placebo (Cunningham and Hirshkowitz, 1995). They explained the most likely reason that finasteride did not impair erectile function was that it did not sufficiently inhibit 5 α-reductase activity in critical areas of the brain.

10 year control study on 523 men found no significant difference in incidence of side-effects between fin and placebo:

Adverse reactions were recorded in 6.8% (36/532) in the safety evaluation in this study, which was slightly higher than that observed in other studies in Japanese men [8,9,17]. This observation was thought to have been caused by the fact that the investigation period of this study was longer than that of others and, therefore, the patients had aged more. Incidences of decreased libido and erectile dysfunction have been known to increase in proportion with age. In the investigation in 40 years or older of Asians, the incidences of decreased libido and erectile dysfunction were 6.0–38.7% and 40.6–70.0%, respectively [29,23]. Overall, the adverse reactions were all mild, and the incidence was lower than the generic incidence of decreased libido and erectile dysfunction in Asians. As adverse reactions were recorded by patients in a subjective questionnaire, the result was thought to be slightly different from the correct number of adverse reactions in this study. Strict safety evaluation was not investigated in this study. Several studies on AGA treatment with finasteride have reported that there are no significant differences from the placebo in adverse reactions, and that the risk of discontinuing the treatment because of adverse reaction is similar to that of the placebo.

The worst part is, I wasn't even aware I was taking it for 7 months. My family was slipping me it because they begged me to take it but I refused. I had these supplements I took daily organized into little ziplock bags so I take all the pills in each bag every day and I was taking SSRIs without knowing it. I had no idea why my sex drive was destroyed I thought I had low T or something. I ended up finding out and instantly like a day or two without the SSRI I was extremely horny no way was I ever going back on those. SSRIs are bullshit because they are prescribed for so many different conditions, no one size fits all drug is gonna work well imo.

Why tf would your family slip you SSRIs?

I hope you move out your family seems toxic asf. I would never talk to my family again if they did that.

Finasteride for a year and I had a limp cock for a year but kept going because “hair is life bro”. Im on dutasteride with a sex drive now but who knows. Many people lose hair FASTER with dutasteride due to the huge increase in testosterone.

starting fin next month won’t get limp dick cause I’m high T asf

 

[dakchuh]

since there are some knowers here i'd like to ask. i think i got DHT sensitivity. diffuse hair thinning and hormonal acne. been on fin for half a year and i dont see any regrowth, although it has probably reduced 80% of my acne. no side effects. should i hop on dut to see if i can get some regrowth out of it since im tolerating fin well? or should i hop on oral min instead although that'll expose me to a new set of potential side effects?

They slipped me it because they don't like that I am a mentalcel who stays home all day because of my OCD and they thought it would go away if I took the pills. I was pretty pissed off when I found out and had withdrawls for like a week or two after that (uncomfortable shocking sensations in my brain)
