Hey everyone,
I haven't been around here for quite a while. For those who don't know me Im a 17 year old male from the UK with a family history of male pattern baldness, (dad lost most of his hair by 24) Ive noticed since 16 that my hair was getting thinner and starting to receed. I started finasteride, min.ox foam 5% and rev.ita shampoo just over a month ago. All seemed to be going well, Ive had a lot of extra hairgrowth and Im very pleased with the results.
But - three days ago after taking the generic finasteride pill (1 mg) I started to feel really bad - it was sort of a non-painful pounding in my head. When I started to fall asleep, everytime I got relaxed it felt like i was having a seizure, I had to literally sit up because it felt like if I fell unconscious I would die! The feeling has got worse and now today it was happening in the day time at school - sudden heat hitting me every 7ish seconds and feeling like Im going to faint - trying to stay calm but getting this really panicky feeling. I dont really know how to describe it but it was sort of like the adrenaline you get the second you start a race, when the gun goes off, but every 7ish seconds. Feeling very tired and very unwell. I think maybe my lack of food/water intake the last few days might have added to the effect, I feel better after drinking 2 litres of water today. Im feeling really concerned and pretty much decided that Im gonna stop the pills tonight, but I want your opinions first. I explained to my friend my symptoms who used to be an annorexic and she was like "are you on some sort of hormone replacement medication" without her knowing im even on anything so Im 100% convinced that how I have been feeling is directly related.
What do you think I should do?
