What would you describe as a long time?
5 years or more. At that amount of time I dont think anyone will escape the side effects in some form.
The side effects are irrespective of usage. People have identical issues after 1mg use then someone like me who took it for 9 years
I disagree I took the drug for a month back in 2003 I got bad mental and physical sides from it but they fully went away weeks after I stopped taking it. Then when I had sudden hair loss in 2010 I took it again but it wasnt until a year into taking it that the side effects really kicked in such as extreme fatigue and not being able to sleep. I had a lot of mental sides while on it but it wasnt until I came off the drug that the sexual sides kicked in.
There is definitely something which happened to me when I quit the drug. Once off the drug, most of my sides went into over-drive and remain until this present day.
Before the end of 2014 this forum will have reached well over 4000 members
Very sad really, as each passing day, more PFS victims whilst this poison stays on the market
What do we have to do to get it recalled?
See I never lost am erections or nocturnal erections even when I crashed before I got on TRT… Never lost them and I have been having sex dreams again since I got on TRT so how do u explain this???
I cant say if we are tiny minorty unless we can diagnose. Its clear to we have so many sufferers who dont know this site or cant speak even simple english or dont know whats going on their body. Nontheless i know at least 10 pfs victims who dont join forum. We know merck make profit 400 million dollar per year thanks to propecia, so with a simple calculation 300k-350k people use finasteride right now. If we say %2 get side effects (infact it is lie) then we have at least 6-7k pfs sufferers.
But dont forget its not a infectious disease which infect air, sea or blood. Its directly due to finasteride, so dont expect 100 billion victims at short or long term.
Don’t forget those who took Proscar or generic drugs, and other drugs/supplements that inhibit 5AR, like accutane and saw palmetto. I would say there’s a LOT more people than that. Millions at least.
Yes, this is a vital point which is important to how this situation progresses in future.
It would be interesting, though horrific, to see what happens if Propecia was withdrawn or barred for use in hairloss. All of a sudden a sizeable number of men might find themselves with PFS. All hell would break loose.
I was on propecia for ten years and did not have any side effects until I went off the drug. I think if propecia is withdrawn from the market, the increase in the number of pfs sufferers will be mind blowing. I do not think at all that we are just a tiny minority.
Maybe thats why merck is defending propecia so bad?
I never lost am erections and nocturnals… Even after I crashed I was still having them…Now on TRT I still have them.And I still have sex dreams every now and then…What do u think this means???
I think you should ask it on a relevant thread. but if you still want to hear my opinion you have mild pfs.
And please use your real account tryingtorecover.
Not sure what u mean by use ure real account… I am new here and this is the only account I have ever had… So u think its mild?? Im what terms are u judging it being mild??
Praying to heal, your constant spamming of threads with the same information over and over, and asking people to tell you if you have PFS or not etc, is getting annoying. Not only that, it is suspected you have created a new account since a previous account (TRYINGTORECOVER) was banned for similar behaviour.
Pls change your usage of the forum. Do not spam endlessly and ask redundant questions over and over. This will be the only warning.
This is the first time I have ever seen this forum…and I will change the usage of the forum…I am sorry however I will stop repeating myself
Maybe thats why merck is defending propecia so bad?
In addition to the profit motive, I am sure that the FDA and Merck know that most people don’t get full blown PFS until they go off propecia and this is one of the reasons it is still on the market.
I think one reason it is still on the market is because it takes care of bph… I think once these studies they will prolly take it off the market…Maybe, maybe not
I don’t think we are to be honest
