You will want to hang yourself when your entire body crashes.
So did thousands of other men. And now they are permanently screwed up.
MikeW,
I read your post and on the other forum and it appears that you are hypogonadal. If your test is <200 Ng/dl and you are in your 20's you will feel like sh*t. You definitely need to get full bloodwork done--not just total testosterone. I had all kinds of hormonal issues after quitting and when we addressed one hormone it would create others to become imbalanced. Check total, free, estrogen, prolactin and SHBG at the very least. You may also want to search your area for a doctor who regularly treats bodybuilders. Those doctors really know the endocrine system.

thanx a lot
tho the permanent sides happens only when u take propecia for years not just in few days or months.
so guys don't be scared, u can try finasteride without any hesitation
but remember when u see sides don't ignore it.
just experiment with lowering the dose and if that doesn't solve the case, then u can stop finasteride.

ur whole story is fishy most of us when we noticed hairloss start googling about it but u ohhh ur a whole new story saying u notice hairloos for a couple of month so u went to a hair transplant doctor? wtf
I have had two blood tests since quitting, first blood test testosterone was 560, now it's plummeted to 250. Officially hypogonadal. Clomid has done nothing.
It's been nearly 3 months since stopping with no improvements.
Rapidly losing muscle mass.
Shrunken testicles, penis has shrunk. No erections, I can barely think or function for that matter.
Any of you who think it's all nice and cute to use this drug, this is what you are risking.
Might as well kill myself.

Don't kill yourself. At one time, I took androgens, and something similar happened to my testicles.
It's not worth your life. It really isn't.
Well Finasteride destroyed my T levels.
I'm off everything.
Trying to find a doctor who will prescribe me testosterone. Doctors don't take this seriously. My GP suggested AI's because TRT should be a last resort.
My body is not producing adequate testosterone.
I have testoterone levels of an 80 year old and I'm 27.
I don't have much of a life anymore.
I just want to feel better. But I doubt that is gonna happen. My dick doesn't fuckin work. The cognitive impairment and extreme lethargy is brutal.
I am doing everything natural to try and boost testosterone, I lifted regularly before finasteride, when I work out now my muscles don't even get sore.

Don't kill yourself Mike, people like Buckthorn might need your blood to lower his T levels. And after reading your articulate posts, I think your brain fog is starting to dissipate. Just so you know, I have been on finasteride for 11 years and I am still functioning the same as I did 11 years ago. So maybe I am an exception to the "your" rule.
Dude I am in a serious health crisis and have no idea what to do and I'm reaching out online to complete strangers for help or advice.
Finasteride altered something in my body.

Dude, I think you should reach out to the PFS Foundation. They can help you more than we can. The good thing is your body can be "rebooted" back to your pre-finasteride state but you have to see an endocrinologist who specializes in PFS. We don't have any specialist posting in this forum.

Unlike many PFS sufferers who have normal or elevated hormone levels and still have side effects, your T is as low as it can get without "technically" having low T. Have you ever had a test for T some time before you took finasteride?
You might have a clue as to what is causing your symptoms, so maybe try testosterone therapy if your T remains low in the coming months. Do not take what I'm saying to heart because I'm not educated enough on this, I'm merely trying to encourage the idea that you may already know what's wrong with you.

I never had a test before using finasteride.
And I f*****g should have, to see what my baseline was. How doctors hand out this hormone altering drug like candy without advising baseline testing.
