Hey all, i havent been on this board in about 2.5 years. I took the drug for a month.. january of 2016. I pretty quickly felt the brain fog, but since i saw it was a normal "temporary " side effect i was okay with it, although i found it scary. I felt my erections werent as hard, then i also...

I took finasteride for a month. Felt fine for first 2 weeks then felt fatigued. Tapered to .5 mg for 2 weeks but didnt feel much better. Ed set in to a good degree and severe brain fog was there. Quit it all and took about a month to feel pretty normal. Brain fog was bad and ed was still there to...

Ok, thanks. Will keep you posted.

So jts, what is your physical issue? Do u have trouble with ed? I know it is cpps, but dont know much about it. I feel like my balls are tense. It may be stress, dont know. I can get it up by peronal touch after bit, but had first issue ever trying to get it up with spouse a few days ago...

Well, brain fog gone now, but feel like i may experience some ed. Jts, do u suffer from hypogonadism. Feel like my nuts normally feel if i blew a couple loads in the same day. Anybody experience this after a month of finasteride? My beard growth is normal so hoping t is fine.

Regimen. Feeling even better today. Scary how long it takes to feel back to normal. I actually feel nearly 100%. Ive ate healthy..paleo diet for most part. Also havent touched a drop of booze and have exercised as normal. Lifted some light weights too. I definetely recommed not drinking...

Hey all, i turned a big corner a week ago and feel a lot better after 3 weeks off. Had fatigue, weaker erections, depressed feeling and brain fog while on and for first 2 weeks off. Also, when i tried to be happy i felt zapped. All has subsided except some brain fog. Do you think this will...

Jwayne, u should have posted this in side effects forum. I quit finasteride 3 weeks ago because i was feeling similar to you. I had fatigue and hormones were shot. I felt much better at 2 week off mark, but was very scary first 10 days or so because little changed. Keep us posted on progress.

Well, i truly suffered. Felt fine for couple weeks then head was all messed up and felt like prisoner in my own brain and hormones were shot. My body quit. Got really tired and had no sexual desire aned couldnt be happy about anything.Ive never suffered from any serious health issues and this...

Goose, i took it 1 month and have been off it 3 weeks. First 10 days sucked...thought i may have pfs....low energy and erection werent as solid. Similar stuff to why i got off it in first place. About the 2 week mark started to feel alot better. This last week i feel even more normal, but...

I feel pretty good now. Was very scary wondering if hormones would recover. Makes u thankful for what u have...health. i think paranoia has stepped in a bit after taking a bit to recover. Had a cloudy head for like 2 weeks after being off it. Had read up on pfs during that time and had me...

Monoid, i quit after a month. Similar things. Woke up with depressed after 2.5 weeks with depressed feeling in brain, penis was cold. Then cut to .5mg for 1.5 weeks,but felt very fatigued. Then quit...took two weeks to feel pretty normal. Perhaps slight gyno,but hoping that will subside...

Br, why did you take 4 month break, side effects? If so, what were they? I had brain fog and extreme fatigue. I feel a lot better now and have been off for almost 3 weeks. Hoping to feel 100% soon. Just looking for promise that this last bit will subside.

Thanks jts. Will keep you posted. 2 fridays ago was real bad, then things got a lot better each day. Feel a little plateau. We will see what next 2 weeks bring. That will be a full month off finasteride. Peace

Scary drug in my mind. Im eating a paleo diet now. Lots of protein and low fat. Will post how im doing. Kind of glad i got the side effects early to limit damage. Feel a little brain fog, but has cleared up alot over the past week. Praying this last hurdle can be climbed.
