Chicago Man Blames Propecia for His Divorce

By Jessica Tyner

 

Propecia sex problems“Larry” from Chicago took Propecia for 15 years to treat his male pattern baldness, and didn’t link his sexual dysfunction to the drug until it was too late. Like many men, he was worried about losing his hair at a young age and was prescribed Propecia — one of the most popular anti-baldness drugs on the market. However, it’s also been strongly linked to a slew of sexual dysfunctions, which is a big strain on any marriage. According to Larry, Propecia is the cause for his recent divorce.

Larry says he had zero desire for sex with his wife, and even if he did he was unable to perform. Sexual dysfunction is a potential side effect of Propecia, but it’s not the only one. Larry also reports feelings of intense anxiety and insomnia, which is also largely reported in Propecia users. He says vanity is the only reason he took the drug, and now that his marriage is over he would gladly give up his hair to have his wife back. Unfortunately, for sexual dysfunction Propecia victims like Larry, it’s too late.

Another Couple Considers a Propecia Divorce

“Anita” is another victim of Propecia as she and her husband are also contemplating divorce. She’s well aware that Propecia caused his sexual dysfunction and depression, making it impossible to have a happy, functioning marriage. Claiming that there’s zero intimacy left in the marriage, she doesn’t see a way to fix a problem caused by a drug. What many people don’t realize is that the Propecia side effects often don’t go away when use stops.

Instead, Propecia side effects can linger for years and there’s no guaranteed time when the user will be “back to normal.” This kind of guessing game, lack of intimacy and dealing with severe mood swings caused by Propecia is enough to break any marriage or relationship. Victims claim that Merck, the maker of the drug, doesn’t put adequate warnings on the packaging and instead doctors are happy to prescribe it not knowing the real risks. Men don’t have to take Propecia for years like Larry did — some report lasting sexual side effects after only using it for a few weeks.

Young Man Suffers from Propecia ED

“Troy” is only 28-years-old, but he wanted to address his male pattern baldness from an early age. Shortly after being prescribed Propecia, he began to suffer from serious erectile dysfunction. One year after using the drug, he says he’s unable to maintain an erection at all and even if he could, he has no interest in sex. Troy isn’t married or in a relationship, but he worries that given his Propecia problem he may never be able to sustain a healthy relationship.

Many young men like Troy stumble into a much bigger problem than thinning hair when taking Propecia. That’s why Merck is on the defense for Propecia class action lawsuits with sufferers like Larry and Troy at the helm. Few men would opt for sexual impotence just to get back their hair, and they feel deceived by Merck.
