Brain Fog

Symptoms Neurological
#1

Hello everyone,

I am past user of Propecia. I took the drug intermittently for around 1 month. I stopped taking the drug around 4 months ago.

Sexually I’m ok- no problems with erections etc, but I still have this mental block. The only time I remember feeling normal was when I had a full 12 hour sleep (no interruptions)- I had been awake for around 35 hours the two days before this sleep. However, the next day the cloudiness was back. Perhaps there is a link in repairing brain fog and consistent deep, REM sleep?

This mental block is very worrying for me- I’ve never felt more dumb in my life. I’ve done lots of reading on this site- it seems that there is nothing that we can really do but wait and hope for the best?

Hey,

very good that you “just” have Brainfog. But sure, you can try a few things that might help you or can make you a bit better. You can try things like fishoil, just have a look in the forum u will find many things you can try.

Brain fog is by far and away the worst pfs symptom. Period.

#4

That’s certainly how I feel right now.

this.

I think the correlation between sleep and brain fog is very strong. And yet, for whatever reason… the days where my brain fog is the thickest are the days that I stay in bed the longest. I consistently feel more emotional and more alive when I force myself out of bed after a few hours of sleep. Granted I’ll be worn out by the end of the day, and it probably isn’t healthy to sleep that little, but I certainly don’t feel healthy living with brain fog. Can anyone relate to less sleep, or less time in bed helping with brain fog?

Sleep has nothing to do with my brainfog.

#8

Are you telling me that your quality of sleep from pre and post finasteride use is exactly the same?

#9

No im not. Im telling you my brain fog is not noticeable different whether i have a good night or a bad nights sleep.

#10

yeah, for me too, the brain fog is awful and it doesnt matter if i sleep “good” or not, i still always feel literally detatched from myself and the world, like i am in fucking limbo, if that makes any sense at all … i think it is better though, for months in the begginning it literally left me bed ridden, i can function a bit better these days i guess …

I read some positive reviews on bocapa as far as improving memory. Might be something that could help a little.

I know they sell it on iherb… that’s where I read the reviews.

#12

I might be for you the worst PFS symptom, people are very individual, so each Problem can be worst for anybody. Even a slight ED can be worst for someone. Did you ever had 24 hours a day Panik attacks for month? This is for me the worst symptom and for other are other symptoms worse.
I dont say, Brainfog isnt worse or something like that. I said, that good that he has just Brainfog and not 10000 more Problems. Just does not mean it isn´t worse. or is that here a contest, what symptomes are worst? I guess not.
instead of rating my post, what is totaly stupid and useless, better help him and give him some adwise.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

#14

…and you are unable to understand. Try to read and try to understand… may be take a few min. and read it again, may be my english is not the best. But, I think it is easy to understand.
You have no Idea and are not able to understand a simple thing. This is sad!

Once again for you: HE ASKED FOR HELP AND NOT A RATING of my post! get that now? If you have Brainfog you can answer his post, not mine. … Do you have now a Idea what I`M talking about?

:unamused:

Paleo diet helped some people with the worst brainfog recover, but it takes lots and lots of discipline to keep it up and you might need as long as a year or more for it to start working.

In general people do have a better record of recovering from mental sides than the sexual sides.

I’d disagree even though it is a bitch, shrinkage and watery semen in particular do my nut in
