7 months and 1 week. The amount of time I've been on Finastride.
It's been an absolute rollercoaster of emotions since I began this treatment. The medication has undoubtedly done what it was supposed to do, but at a price.
I responded faster to it than most people. After a horrific shed, the regrowth started as soon as 2 months. But with the good also came the bad. Unfortunately, I experienced most of the side effects that steer people away from using this drug.
Honestly, these last 7 month's have been hell. My mind is not what it used to be. I forget things so frequently now. Because of this my work has suffered greatly. I'll read an email or take a phone call and 5 minutes later I forget what it was about.
Even reading a few chapters of a book. I sometimes cannot for the life of me remember what I read an hour later.
My mood as never been so low. I'm such a grumpy bastard to be around now and I hate it. I've noticed my friends contact me less frequently and my relationship with my family has deteriorated. In the last 3 months I've been prescribed Xanex for anxiety. I've never been medicated for anything in my 31 years before starting Finastride. I'm not happy anymore. I know things are bad when I can't remember the last time I laughed.
Thankfully I haven't experienced ED, however, I find it incredibly difficult to become aroused or maintain an erection. I go 2-3 weeks sometimes without masturbating. Forget sleeping with women. I've completely lost interest.
The results I've had with hair growth over the last several months have been fantastic but at the end of the day, my mind is more important. I want to get back to being the person I was before I began Finastride. Not this gloomy, forgetful, shell of a person. It's time to quit.
I understand not everyone experiences these side effects, so if you're a person contemplating taking it, don't let me put you off it. It's an incredible drug when it works, but I'm one of the unlucky dudes in that low percentage that got the full whack of side effects.
Cheers to everyone who's answered my questions over the years. I won't be coming back here again, for my own piece of mind. I'm expecting to lose everything I've gained over the next few month's but I'm just going to take a razor to it and try to stop giving a sh*t about my hair.
