6 Days!!

Hey everyone. I am a 22 year old who started taking Propecia 7 days ago, but did not take it today (therefore I took it for 6 days in total). I come from a long line of baldies and wanted to stop the “curse.” I wish I never started on this drug. Even tho I have only been on Propecia for 6 days, I am already confused all the time and cannot focus. I have never experienced this before. Also, I sat in the washroom last night for 30 minutes trying to get an erection, finally getting one but it was not pleasurable. If this is happening to me this fast, what does that have to say about the drug? Is it possible somehow this is all mental? Could I have side effects already? Anyways, after an emotional talk with my girlfriend and family, I am never taking this stuff ever again. I think I am going to take the advice many of you have given, shave the head and hope for the best.

Please respond with advice. Should I give this drug another shot??

Thank you very much.

You’ve made a wise decision.

Huh? Nobody here will recommend you take Finasteride, or any 5AR Inhibitor again, ever… I’m actually confused why’d you ask this considering your previous decision above to never touch it again.

If you choose to take this medication, do not bother posting here again. That’s the best advice I can give you.

Mind baffling

Yea, they are correct. DON’T TOUCH THIS DRUG EVER AGAIN. We all had doctors who said it was fine too. We are all very far from fine.

I wish my doctor would have said, “oh by the way, this drug does have the potential to ruin your life forever” before I put it in my mouth.

If you thought the mental confusion was bad, just wait until the bone loss starts, or the stomach ulcers, blurry vision, memory loss, joint pain, complete impotence & heart palpatations.

Think of the decision as choosing hair or choosing life, it’s really that simple.

Sorry for asking such a stupid question at the time, I was very emotional when I was writing. I guess subconsciously I wanted to hear people telling me to get off of fin because all I was hearing from doc’s was to take it. Finally, today my mother walked inside and told me that her family doctor (mine too) told her she would never recommend Popecia to anyone. I guess the light at the end of the tunnel is family doctors are starting to realize this shit is poison.

In case you guys care, everything seems to be back to normal now. I can concentrate and get erections again. It was scary how quickly the side-effects kicked in.

My message to people reading this is simple. You can be on this drug for as little as a week and start to see problems. I knew of the risks and told myself, “I am only going to take this drug for a few years.” Thanks to this forum, my life was likely saved. Thanks to everyone for their comments and keep up the fight!
