Despite this disease, we had a healthy sex life. Then the Propecia or finasteride, it’s generic name, was prescribed by his neurologist, after about 6 months of daily dose, no help with spasms, but a complete disappearance of his libido. And what was so tragic, he couldn’t understand why his libido was gone, and of course, the impotence that accompanies this, tore him up emotionally but I was never aware how badly until I read his journal, he died of Stage IV cancer last year, and it was page after page of years of emotional agony of his loss of all sexuality. It’s a horrible drug. I had no idea the company was withholding this side effect info. I’m devastated again but thank you for posting this news. At least I know it wasn’t me.
