Erectile Dysfunction, Depression, etc. Post Anavar/Finesteride

Hi it’s my first post. I made my account specialy to comment in that topic, I did anavar only cycle at low dose like 20 or 50mg per day in 2014 summer, on a 3rd day I woke up with out errectrion which was strange but I didnt stop taking it. It was first time I took AAS and thought may be normal and will gone as soon as I stop, so I have continued to 8 weeks in total. Dumb me, since then nothing came back, no libido limp dick, not feeling it it’s like rotten flower lol. Almost 5 years of trying to fix it, I even gave up smoking and drinking and any other substances to stay as clean as I can so my body may fix it or something(2 years like that) but no, nothing. Been to the best endo I can find every six month since then, hospital, urologists etc etc, even now trying some chineese medicine (lol), can’t find a fix to this crap, never depressed before that happend, now I can say I slightly am when I think of my dick, but quite got used to it and trying calmly to find solution. Labs are great as well, been scanning my brain few times for sure to see if there is any lump or something. Nothing.
Did anyone solved it? Or have any idea?
Kind Regards…

@vancouvermatt hey bro just saw this pop up this might be an ineread for you just saw some people mentioned anavar only and some issues Idk how much it will pertain to what your doing but def worth a read

If its true, then it`s pretty sad for this guy. From my lurking the internet, scouring all sorts of sites and reading books… it seems like this guy is SUPER super unlucky.

Add to this, the above information seems a bit fishy to me man.
No numbers, no precision, no names, nothing in detail.

lack of accuracy, precision, and no way to validate if what he writes is true or not true.
But I really appreciate the fact that your concerned for me.

I know this forum in particular, is one that more testosterone-friendly.
…but if you go onto some British forums, they are a lot more anavar, Winny and oral friendly. Many of those members swear by orals only.

In the end,
yes - absolutely there`s a risk.
But I will pay attention to my dick for sure…

Been jerking off everyday now, all normal!

There is no reason for me to lie… just badly looking for solution as at a time it happend I was 20yo (now 25) and still the same. What details would you like to hear? Blood is fine and everything else… I wish there was something wrong in blood tests lol so I could aim on fixing whatever would be not right, but it’s all fine so I’m still looking for the thing that got messed up by that cycle, to solve it. Maybe run some cycle? I didnt run anything in 4 years as wanted to stay clean at all to recover but I will do whatever it takes… just running out of ideas what to check what to do.
Thanks for responses.

Seems like you have very bad luck :frowning:
Ive no problem with erections or anything yet.... What did your endocrinologist suggest? Im sure there`s a fix.

Do the issues with Finesteride also apply to Dutasterine (avodart)?

Hi I have the same problem like You. My dick dont work. Sorry for my enaglich but I’am not from england. Do you use HCG ?

Hi Kobe, I cant understand why your urologiste is saying that everything is perfect. Its your free testosterone that is important not total. And all these Numbers could be wrong, all depending if they wore taken during your use of clomit.
You probably need to lower shbg, It can be done by using proviron and or with zinc.

Anyone was able to fix his problems?

I was on avodart about 8 years ago due to some prostate issues. Dr’s didn’t really know what was going on so they put me on that. I was miserable (prostate issues are horrible) at the time so I took it. Got off of it after maybe a week or two as the side effects essentially killed any sense I had of being a man. No hard ons, no sex drive, zip. And the half life on that stuff is ridiculously long so it takes a long time to get out of your system. I would never use that stuff again under any circumstance. Just my experience.

Did you improve/recover? If so could you elaborate a little if you don’t mind - finasteride side effects myself you see, it’s always very encouraging to hear positive recovery stories.

Yeah I recovered but it took many months. Not sure what other info I can give you other than, for me, it absolutely destroyed any sense of sex drive, ability to get erect, be able to orgasm if I could get erect, and if I could orgasm the amount of semen was nil. As for the prostate help it wasn’t much so I got off of it wanting my sex drive and life back (I’m highly sexual so it’s a big part of my life). And after many many months I could slowly feel my old self coming back. Years later I was fine and prostate issues cleared up. Side not to clear up prostate issues was lots and lots of ejaculation and cialis. Hope that helps.

Trifive, that’s interesting (and great) that you have recovered after that crap anavar cycle in such a short time. That feeling is terrible, did you use anything to help with your recovery? It’s been over 5 years since my bloody anavar only cycle and still did not recover. Going to do fresh blood tests in a month time an will post it here. I may get lucky with idea of fix from someone.

E2 in the upper range of normal with TT of 995 (which is the upper end as well) and FT at 224 is absolutely not the cause of his ED. Everything you said about best practices is correct. But blaming ED on perfectly healthy, normal labs instead of looking at the drug that causes ED is missing the glaringly obvious in favor of an esoteric reading of labs is unwise. The sound of hooves is from horses, not zebras.

Welcome. Totally disagree with your hypothesis, but thanks for rehashing an old post to “school” us all.
