Detailed Answer:
hi,

I understand your concerns about taking finasteride.

Since you have stopped finasteride 2.5 years back it is unlikely to have anymore effects on your libido.

Following are possible causes for ED:

1) Any stress involving in recent times. Please find if you are stressed due to any reason in recent past. personal, financial, professional, academic etc..

2) I suggest you get blood sugars tested as diabetes is another reason for ED.

Let me know the details for above quey so that I can advice you further.
