My Biopsy Results; Is It Time For Propecia Anyway?

[WheeljackG1]

You are not facing that because of hair loss. You are a functioning human being.

I took finasteride four times, at a dose of 0.25 mg each time. Stopped because my penis glans felt numbed. Three days later my head basically exploded and things have deteriorated in a way I could never have conceived of. Four and a half months later, I have been so degraded by this condition I do not feel human anymore. The worst depression you could ever imagine. My vision, balance, digestion fucked. Penis completely numb while flaccid. No desire to masturbate. Constant nausea. Everyday I’m trying to get to the end of the day. My life is over. Please do not potentially end yours by taking finasteride.

I'm already in that spot man. I'm not a functioning person. Can't work anymore depressed so much I can barely get out of bed or perform basic tasks. Even barely feed myself cause going into public to buy food is horrifying to me. I almost ended my life early this year. I figure it's a massive risk going on propecia, but since I'm already in such bad shape I might as well try.

If you were that close to committing suicide, you seriously need a lot of psychological help. Do you have a therapist?

Yep, I had several really tough breaks all happen right in a row. It's a long story, I won't bore you with the details. But I can't be me without my hair. No therapist has helped one bit in accepting how I look now. I will never be able to accept it. The only way I'll ever being a functioning person again is if I have my hair back.

Suppose one day you got splashed with acid and your face became a deformed ugly mess, and there was no way to get back your original face. Are you going to become functioning only when you get your original face back?

Idk, I've had a really tough life. I've tried to overcome many things and it always leads to more problems. I'm just about out of steam, and just need thisnone thing. I just need my hair back.

Well, as a straight upper middle class white male with minimal hair loss in one of the safest cities in the United States with a stable family going to one of the top colleges in the country, I've had a jokingly easy life. So, I wish I could really relate to how tough your life really is. In any case, what else do you value in your life besides your hair? Any family or friends you're close to? Girlfriend/Boyfriend? Hobbies? I do really want to help you, psychologically.

Thanks man inapreciate that. my immediate family is good. I love them which is why I didn't go through with my plan. It's been hard on all of us, as I can no longer function normally. They don't like helping me as they think it will weaken me or something.

I'm short and balding, so dating is not a privalage I'm afforded. I used to be an audio engineer and musician, but I blew out my ears and injured my hand so that's done. I also like video games, but I developed an eye issue called visual snow, that makes it hard, even when I can afford games. Not working makes it hard to do hobby stuff.

Lol, I've had visual snow since I was a child. It's *** lol.

I'm a fairly short guy too, actually. I'm 5'7. I know it's not the same as being 5'0 or 5'2, and I've never been midget shamed or whatever, but what I can tell you is that being short isn't really that bad. It's certainly better to be 6'2, but I haven't found my height to really affect my life all that much.

I'm glad you have a great immediate family, though. I think the reason they're hesistant is because they fear trying to help you is going to drive you even crazier about your hair loss. I don't agree with that, but I can understand where they're coming from. Well, even if they won't help you with it, there are many members on here who will. You can help relieve the

They are only concerned with getting me functional again. But they refuse to believe that my issue have a link to my hairloss. So they don't help me doing things cause they think that means it will force me to do it on my own. The problem is, to me life life has already ended, so I can't muster up the energy to do it, even if it's a necesity. I have no reason to want to work towards a future. I just can't deal with the hair loss. It's one thing too many. If I could fix it maybe I could start to adress some of my other issues, but they don't accept that.

Well, in terms of getting your hair fixed, this is the place for all the information you could possibly need. Well, maybe you can't convince your family, but I'd still maintain good relations with them. Maybe just keep the hair issue to yourself and this forum for now?

Idk man, I don't think I'm ganna make it. My parents won't help in paying for propecia, and I can't get a job or be in public till I have my hair back. So I'm stuck. Im waiting it out a bit just in case, but when it's clear my hairline isn't coming back I'm most likely going to go through with my plan.

I'm not in any immediate danger. I've been this depressed since I was a kid in the 90s. It's ok man. I appreciate you talking to me. And please don't try to report me or something, cause someone did that once and I started having intense panics attacks and almost passed out.

I won't report you. But seriously, I don't want you to literally die over your hair. I'm not joking. There may be absolutely nothing on the other side. Do you really want to test that? If you f*** it up, there's no undoing it. This is the only life you have for sure. Don't throw it away.

Thanks I appreciate that. I'd say this life is mostly done anyway, as long as these issues persist. I've had many tough breaks in life, starting from when I was a small kid till now. I'm a bit proud of how much I got through, cause I think some people wouldn't have been able to. Part of the thing that really gets to me is how far I got. I was depressed and had severe anxiety and self image issues. Was quite overweight. I went from nearly obese to having abs, had a day job, graduated college, got more involved in my church (which helped). And it all crashed. Blew out me ears, injured my hand so I had to leave my band and my day job. And my hair started going, so I lost my confidence which meant I couldn't go to Church). If I could just get this one victory back I think I'd be able to turn it around. Propecia is a risk, and I also have other scalp conditions. Even if I got a decent hair price I might be able to make do with that. I just want to feel like me again.

Maybe I can talk to my doctor about finasteride? And if I can't find a way to make it work with insurance ask some other family to help me afford it till I can get back on my feet? Seems like a stretch. It maybe someone will help.

Talk to your doctor about finasteride. You've gotten through hard sh*t before. If propecia doesn't work, then would a good hair piece suffice for you?

Yea, I think it would. I mean if it has long lasting sexual side effects that would suck. But my hair now if curly and I wear it straight. So it wouldn't be a big different in upkeep, and it would be kinda nice to not have to worry about humidity and stuff like that. All the people around me tell me hair pieces are really lame though.

Bad hair pieces don't look good. Good ones are pretty much indistiginuishable from regular hair. In any case, if finasteride doesn't work, and you think a hairpiece would help solve your problems, go for it. Plenty of celebs in Hollywood use hair pieces that no one can tell apart from the real thing.

Get a hairpiece and move on with your life then. I am telling you now, there’s still hope for you as your body and brain is not damaged from finasteride. I have been seriously researching how to kill myself painlessly (turns out there isn’t a reliable way). It has destroyed my brain and body. And there is no cure or treatment available for sufferers. It’s not even recognised officially by medicine yet (though there is a near completed study that may change this). It goes completely beyond “sexual side effects”, that’s just what the media stories have focused on. Whatever you do for hairloss, do not take a 5ari to treat it. It looks like a percentage of men have a genetic susceptibility to experiencing a destruction of their body and brain from using these drugs. There is no way of knowing if you’ll be one of them. Do NOT take the risk.
