I'm a male, 27 years old. I've been on Finasteride for about 2 years. I'm currently doing 0.33 mg/day and my hair situation is stable. I'm quite sure I've gotten overall much thicker hair. I have one SMALL temple that's gotten a tiny bit worse, but it's not really noticeable.. So I'm quite happy.
However, I have a little bit hard to get my dick up sometimes, I don't see this as a big problem though and I think it might be all in my head.
Though my brain feels slower, it takes a longer time to understand things. And my memory is so f*****g bad right now, and being 27 it shouldn't start to get worse already. Most noticeable is when watching a movie, few years ago I could've seen a movie 5 years ago and it would be to boring watching again cause I remember everything. Now if I watched something 1 year ago, I can watch it again - cause I've forgotten so much about the movie.
Or like I watched True Detective 4 years ago (Released 2014) and my sister asked about it the other day -> The only thing I could tell her was "it's about 2 detectives", this sort of freaked me out. How can I not remember it more clearly? It's a series, I watched about 8 hours of it....
This is just one out of many things I noticed. It's just the same if I meet someone new - I forget most of the things they told me. So I'm quite sure I ask the same thing plenty of times.. Or if someone tells me "I'm gonna do this in 2 weeks" and after 2 weeks I've totally forgotten about it.
Also memories from my youth has become really blurry, so seems like short- and long term memory has just been totally fucked.
I know memory loss can be caused by plenty of stuff. I was really stressed 2 years ago, about the same time I started Finasteride. But my memory hasn't gotten better since then, and currently i'm not stressed (other than being a little bit stressed about my memory, lol) I've read that one thing DHT can do with you is giving you better memory. So it would be logical if cutting DHT would give you worse memory?
Anyone else had the same problem as me? Did stopping finasteride help?
