I just had a massive system crash, first one, was kinda ok for six months as only took Fin for about a month, but a month too long. I was lied to about its possible side effects.
I have lost full libido and feel, hot flashes, the works, cant sleep, can’t communicate well, I don’t what to do, I never thought someone could even feel this way.
Does anyone else in Australia (I am in Sydney) know any professionals who have helped them in any way?
Many thanks, R
I’m in the exact situation as you, lied to by Ashley and martin, i could write and entire post about their evil deception, maybe another time. it’ my third month off, some sides have eased, some have changed, and some are worse.
I’m also seeking professionals who can help, in Melbourne, none found so far.
what has helped me, getting a personal trainer, we do weights training, it helped with loss of appetite and insomnia, which i assume you have.
get the blood and urine tests done, and post on here. or contact an american dr via skype. not sure how to though, but it can be done.
this is my first reply and i hope i was helpful.
good luck.
Unfortunately no doctors have been able to correct what has been done to us. However, there is a study that will begin soon in the united states regarding our problem. If you can afford to come, please do so.
Hi Mate, Can I ask how long you took the drug? how was it after you got off? Did you return to normal somewhat then crash?
I only took mine about a month, possibly a touch more, back in July of 2012. Started feeling sexual side effects which I never had before, went online and had a heart attack. I would have NEVER taken it would I have been told. I returned somewhat to normal but have to say never back to normal. I have never had erectile problems before and masturbated daily if not having sex…always horny and checking women out. Post fin I became much more complacent in my thoughts toward woman. Anyway last weekend I had this horrible feeling start to wash over me, like a virus sort of but my balls and testes felt like they were being attacked and hot flushes, couldn’t sleep, etc. I have been to a specialist male doctor in sydney yesterday and will get blood test results today. Last night I had a big sleep as a result of probably pure exhaustion from my previous 4 days but also due to two sleep pills. Even after 10 hours of sleep no natural morning erection. I am very scared and feel like my life is ruined and that of my son too as how can I be a positive and happy role model for him now. I’m so mad at myself, all I had to do was a quick look at the medication online, so stupid…
I will keep you updated on this doctor, his name is Rob King, he seems very good.
dont crucifi yourself about not checking what the side affects were before taking it mate,like me and thousands of others you put your trust in your doctor and healthcare system,if ive ever been to the docs over the years and been given some medication for one reason or another it has not once entered my head to go online and research it before ive took any of it,i believed that any drug a doctor in this country would prescribe to me would have been through every test possible and be 100 percent safe,we live in developed countries with strict laws for christ sake,i never dreamt something like this could happen to me from taking a prescription medication,if id been pre warned of the dangers theres no way id have taken it,ive had zero libido for over 5 years…
took 1.25mg generic fin for two weeks, i don’t know how people define “crash” If you took it in july 2012 you are further into this than i’am. read my profile and first post for all the answers of what i’am still going through.
As for your mental health, a therapist is the best person to talk too. because you must be happy for your son, and be happy that you have a son, and you can guide him away from this, i know i have done a 180 degree turn of trying things to save my hair, to trying things that will lose all my hair.
