I'm on day 6 of finasteride and the only side effect I think I have is brain fog. I took finasteride for the first time in april for a week and the same thing happened, I felt zoned out. I had an aching pain in the groin region. I was also heavily stressed back then because of exams so I'm sure that might have been a factor. After I stopped taking it the brain fog reduced but I still had it throughout april to june but it was very slight.

I started finasteride again on the 11th of june so nearing a week and my brain fog got worse 2-3 days in. I should also clarify my brainfog differs a bit I don't feel forgetful or anything, my cognitive skills are fine. I just feel zoned out, like out of my body. I don't notice it as much when I'm a bit occupied.

My brother's been taking it a little longer than me with no sides and another guy who I've spoken to on here took the same time as I did originally and he barely has any sides (2 months in). I feel like I should still take it for a month because some people have said on here that their brain fog went away after a month.

And if it matters I had a blood test a few months ago and everything was fine.

Trying to 'ride out' the side effects of finasteride and looking for evidence for people that had success with this has been the worst decision in my life.

I have a feeling that I will not be able to convince you to quit this drug so there is not much left for me to say except for: good luck and I hope faith will go easier on you than it did on me.
