Took finasteride And I Got Sides Plz Help Me

[ahmed wolf]

Given that hair loss itself can lead to certain episodes of psychosis, Finasteride can lead to debilitating side effects.
Myself, I am ceasing all hair loss medication today to wait for a full return of sexual function.
Its been about, a week and a half or so, maybe a little more, since stopping Finasteride.
Erections have slightly returned, but are not full. Sexual desire is a little better, not full.
I was on RU 3% and oral minoxidil, and as of today am stopping both so I can figure out if either of them is stopping my recovery.

i hope u recover fully for how long and how much did u took it?

No stress, these side effects aren't permanent. Wait 2 - 3 months.

Yes, but not because side effects.

Did you experience cognitive and mental side effects??

 

[rafiles]

No, you should all know that. If you begin finasteride then first week you have sides like above mentioned, but if you continue (my case),
these sides disappear (not necessary).

Propecia, like Accutane is a class of drugs that change your DNA on a cellular level for the rest of you life. That being said there are a few things that you can do to change this. We know that propecia effects the adrenal glands on a cellular level so more than likely the brain fog is adrenal fatigue. We also know that propecia might change proper testosterone function indefinitely, so to try to overcome this, zinc, and boron need to be supplemented to make proper testosterone. You would also need to do light weight training three times a week, wear boxers instead of briefs, and take supplemental protein in the form of whey protein. Also make sure your vitamin D levels are between 70-80. Finally, I would suggest limiting ejaculation to only once or twice a week for the time being, and only through sex if possible.





As far as sperm production L-Carnitine and R-lipoic acid should increase the quality of your sperm.





Maybe try bio identical testosterone replacement therapy?





Finally, I would consider supplementing calcium d glucarate and DIM to lower an excess estrogen you may have.

How long for all

Hope it sorts out for you mate. Just give it time and try not to obsess about it.

I had some really terrifying sides, i had serious brainfog (i was almost like a vegetable for like 3-4days, couldnt think straight, couldnt concentrate) kinda of hard to describe it as ive never felt anything remotely like this in my life. I had serious issues taking a sh*t in the toilet, prostate was acting up. For some days i had something described as "retarded ejaculation" after searching around for likewise symptoms. It was scary as f*** mate. But i was lucky for all of them to subside. Also worth noting is that i started treatment on 0.5mg ED, went on that for 2 1/2 years before i bumped it up to 1.25mg

to subside v

You had these sides? 2-3 months even for mental sides? Did you have mental sides?

Hey Mike. Do you know if you had low testosterone before you took finasteride or was your testosterone level normal. I also had mental sides from finasteride but only after a couple of years of taking it. I believe that as i was getting older my testosterone was falling anyway and the finasteride blocked too much DHT which i needed to function normally.

You can definitely get sexual side-effects after 2 days. 2 hours not so much probably. Give it some time, you will probably return to normal within the month. From what i understand the mental side-effects are mostly the result of long term use.
