Question About Try Quitting Finasteride For A Short While

[equel]

Hey there. Been on finasteride since maj the 22th now. The first 2 weeks I noticed absolutely no side effects and I was happy about it. However, starting from the end of week 2 and til now (about 3.5 weeks) Ive had quite a terrible brain fog coupled with being mentally lethargic/slow, literally feels like Im a 110 year old man mentally and I feel very mentally tired.

Given Im in computer science, I need to be on top mentally all the time and this is f*****g with it.

Regarding libido finasteride have actually made my libido better, funny enough.

Anyway, I wonder if its "okey" to quit finasteride for a couple of days or maybe 1-1.5 week to see if the side effects dissapear? Or will this be very bad for my hair? Ive obviously noticed no progress so far, just more shedding really.

And after this time, I was thinking of maybe reducing the dose (1.25mg per day) to every other day or something.

What are your thoughts? I really wanna save my hair but I just cannot handle this f*****g fog and mental slowness.

your sides are well reported with guys who get sides, including me.

if they persist, drop the drug it isnt worth it

you can play around with the dosage if you want, but my guess is if your having these sides now, you will continue to have them, albeit maybe not as strong with a lowered/reduced dosage

some guys just cant handle it

youve noticed more shedding because the finasteride is pushing out your weaker hairs, and stronger thicker hairs will come through, as did with me. i had excellent regrowth. but i felt like dog sh*t on the drug.

It sucks so bad cause I want my hair too, lol.

How fast did the sides dissapear when you dropped it?

it took me a while. i had bad bad sides. i am one of the unfortunate fuckers who got pfs. apparently this doesnt happen often, so you should be fine if you decide to quit

just dont push through the sides. if you keep getting them, just drop the drug, it isnt worth it

That's not true, Sunchyme. There are documented cases that all trolls are susceptible to PFS when taking finasteride.
