I just turned 19 and I am now taking finasteride. Not sure if I’m dealing with the side effects or it’s just all in my head?

In high school I notice my hair had been thinning out excessively. By the time I turned 18 and graduated I notice some recession. So when I told my dermatologist about this he offered me finasteride. He told me there were some harmful side effects to it such as erectile dysfunction. But that only 1% get this and it is pretty rare. So I took it... but I’m barely been on it for a week and I think about this a lot. There are days where I can hold an erection and there are days where I can’t. And when I do hold an erection it doesn’t last too long. I don’t know if it’s just me (like all in my head) or if finasteride is already affecting me. This morning I did wake up with morning wood though I don’t know if that’s important. I really don’t want this to affect my libido and cause permanent damage to it since I’m only 19. But at the same time I don’t want to be bald in my 20’s. Or go bald in general. Please help

Does the side effects go away overtime once the body gets use to it

I’ve been on it for about 3 weeks now too and I still get this feeling every now and then
