Brain fog + depression + anxiety

Symptoms Neurological
#1

Hi All,

Thank you for this forum. I decided to quit propecia after reading some of the posts.

I guess I was in denial but I had serious anxiety and depression while on propecia. I guess I also had brain fog but didn’t know it because I couldn’t describe it. Thanks though to others who wrote in.

Anyway, I have been off it for 10 days now. I honestly felt better even after 2 days. My brain fog lifted. Anxiety calmed down a lot. I even found myself whistling to a song - something I don’t remember doing for at least 3 years (exactly when I started).

I do have a question: I still have a few moments a day with rapid heart beats and a very odd breathlessness sensations. They certainly a lot less than they were even up til the day I stopped. However, they still happen. Can anyone tell me from experience how long it will be until they dissipate?

All the best and to everyone, get off this junk!

-Kevin

Well they say it takes 14 days to get out of ur system, In my experience I think its more. I experienced what you did! I suffered with anxiety, depression and panic attacks before but the Fin brought it out more. I walked to town and couldnt even think how I got there! But I can say that I do feel better now im off the stuff :slight_smile: Hang in there bro!

14 days? Ha…what a crack of shit. I’ve been off for almost five months and have no clue what the fuck is going on.
