Hey guys,
I was on generic finasteride for 1 month. I started with 1 mg for 5 days and started to have intense anxiety and migraine like pain in my head. It kind of felt like my IQ was 20 something. So I stopped and for 5 days and the side-effects seemed to subside a little but were not completely gone.
Since, Finasteride is probably the only option for male pattern baldness I decided to take 0.5mg every day and the side-effects seemed to progressive increase and get worse. I was hoping my body will adjust and kept going for another 20 days till it was unbearable.
I have been off it for 16 days now, and my side-effects seem to improve only a little and I am a little freaked out.
I am having serious anxiety because of it but I am trying to keep calm, follow a healthy lifestyle to give my body best chance to recover.
Does anybody else have faced the similar side-effects I just mention? If someone had, how long did it take to completely subside. Any help would be appreciated.
