Can taking Propecia increase sex drive despite lowering DHT?

[baldasabadger10]

Found this interesting article in the Mail and was wondering if there is any truth to it. Myself i take Propecia and have had zero loss in my sex drive, but i find it hard to believe that you can actually gain muscle and become more horny from a drug that lowers DHT.

I have read that one side effect might be weight gain, but not muscle gain. Seems like a crock of crap to me, and the specialist from the London Hospital in the interview agrees*nl.

Well stranger things have happened but personally i think they are talking rubbish regarding Propecia.

This reporter should do more Research and maybe he would find the truth.

Maybe they should read this also.

"MILWAUKEE, WI -- (Marketwire) -- 11/08/11 -- Habush Habush & Rottier, S.C. from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, has partnered with the New York firm of Sanders Viener Grossman and started a lawsuit for forty of their clients against Merck in NJ state court alleging that the use of the hair-growth drug Propecia has resulted in persistent sexual and psychological problems. Mr. Habush states that many more individuals will be joining the original forty.
Propecia, a very popular hair restoration drug, has been used by millions since it entered the market in the late nineties. It has been linked to a number of health problems: Erectile dysfunction and impotence, gynecomastia, loss of libido, genital shrinkage, penile fibrosis, and emotional and psychological disturbances including depression.

"We expect to prove a causal relationship between the use of Propecia and the aforementioned problems," states Mr. Habush, a prominent products-liability trial lawyer."
