Finasteride F**ked Me Up & I Only Took It For 2 Weeks.

[Aaron21]

I have been taking Generic Finasteride for the past 2 weeks. Felt fine for the first week but the second week noticed huge fatigue, mind was fuzzy and I constantly just felt drained and not well.

I go to the gym and train weights at a high intensity and very heavy numbers 6 days a week and have done so for the past 5 years and never felt fatigue like this. I also felt down and slightly depressed which I never have in my life! I literally couldn't be bothered to get up for a pee and couldn't think straight either! I work in Architecture and it was affecting me as I couldn't think what I had for breakfast let alone anything else.

Looking at others side affects I found loads of people saying this is what hit them first, then the other sides come into affect which are much worst. (Depression, Sex drive etc) I stopped taking it two days ago and only today started feeling better.

I have noticed some people stating they don't get any sides at all and say they don't know why others are slating it. I think it's 50/50 if you do or don't get it. There was a thing about it on ITV where some bloke was having suicidal thoughts when on it, totally messed his test levels up and he lost all mind connection to his old boy and couldn't get it up. Hearing this was enough to make my mind up and stop.

Q. I don't get how it's an approved drug if theres so much negative reviews on its side affects? Some irreversible apparently?

Q. Does anyone know alternatives for this that I can try?

How the heck do you find time to hit the gym six days a week if you are in architecture??

Joking aside, I'm in architecture as well and I try my best to keep my gym hours

on the bright side, plenty of bald architects out there lol

Finasterid fucked me up as well in the first 4 weeks. My balls hurt I got libido to zero and ed.

But now after 80days the sides reduced.

Haha I know what you mean. I start early, 7am most mornings and finish around 5.. Get straight to the gym, lift some tin, home, meal prep and repeat.

All I really do is work and train with not a lot else!

True, there are a few in my practice. Im not quite there yet, thinking a transplant will sort me out!

Ive read a lot of people saying the sides go after a while.. It's all the other sh*t I see about how it messes up your hormones, loss of muscle mass, Loss of mind to dick connection and getting it up etc.. I just thought about it and even though it works I'm not prepared to risk all that.

I never know what to believe. It could be absolutely harmless and its just people scaremongering.

Literally more than 90% males in my current office are thinning/receding

Overwork clearly doesnt help lol

Don't ever do a transplant if you can't get it stablized it will ruin your life.

For me its started at the first day with ball aches, than i had ed instantly and 0 libido. Now I am on 60 Days, my libido recovered and ed, too.
Its not that strong, that it used to be but i think its ok now, I dont make any sorrows about it, as I did on the first days.

Just stick with it a bit longer and then decide what you're about to do.

Best wishes!

Yes actually my libido feels stronger and I have more sexual thoughts. The only problem I have is this extreme lethargy, im very "sleepy" and feel like im not "present" in day to day situations, more like zoomed out, like a zombie.

I hope to god this dissapear cause its the last hope for my hair lol

Well, i also expierenced that, its called Brain Fog.
I was in my programmer examen as this sh*t fuckin started, i helped my self with keep to dose of coffein higher with coffe, this kicked in and helped me out.
Not to mention that Brain Fog isnt anymore existing for me.
Lel I am feeling like a guy from the pharmaceutical company, tell you that all bad things disappearing. But this are the expierences I made.

In my opinion the body takes a bit of time to react to the lower DHT things and doing some magic stuff to compensate it.

Do u have any idea how long this might last? Cause at the moment I basicly cannot function normally, I mean, Its difficult to explain but lets say Im out .. and someone calls my name - normally, I will quickly turn my head that way. Now? It will be slow, like an old man .. Its like everything goes more in slowmotion, including my own movements LOL, very weird feeling.

And I was so happy it didnt affect my libido negatively .. and now this happends, jesus!

Im also cutting proscar in 4 pieces AKA 1.25mg, I wonder if its "okay" to cut them in 8 pieces aka 0.625mg each time ...

Iam not very fimilar with low doses of finasteride and I also cant imagine how you cut off the pill in 8 parts, for me its hard to get 4 similar parts :3
Low dosages should work but you better ask someone whos fimiliar to this topic.

For me it was about 1 1/2 months then Brain Fog disappeared. Libido comes back a bid later about month 2 or so

 

[equel]

alright, I really hope for the best!

 

[Devop911]

All best, to you!

Hey man, I don't want to scare you. But from what I've read, if you experience sides at the start which subside after continued use, it seems as though these may return if you eventually stop the drug. When/ if you do decide to stop taking Finasteride, it is IMPERATIVE, that you taper off the drug rather than quit cold turkey. Just a heads up, better be safe than sorry.

Did the brain issue go away for you? How bad was it and how long did it take to go away?
