I am not a doctor, but I find Klonopin to be a very interesting script to prescribe to a PFS sufferer. Klonopin can cause cognitive impairment that can last for months after cessation of treatment. It would be interesting (although maybe a bit masochistic) to see how someone with brain fog would react to this. Were/are you suffering from fog?
lol zombification, I agree with that haha,
I had it for a good 3 months straight with no emotions at all… not even negative ones. I was just drifting through life… nothing bothered me and nothing felt good either. My uncle and grandfather both died 1 month and I couldn’t feel a shred of emotion. Then I go accepted to paramedic school and still couldn’t feel a thing. Lost all feelings of love towards my girlfriend, and lost all feelings of fear/nervousness.
I’m getting much better in this area. I started taking Iodine (8 drps in the morning in water and 8 drops at night in water) As well as tons and tons of Vitamin D throughout the day… a little bit of zinc too as well as ginseng. I have noticed my emotions coming back… almost to normal even some days. I don’t know if it was stuff I was taking or just natural. I still like to believe it was the Iodine that helped. (Iodine is good for your thyroid).
support your body the best way you can…
go an a healhty diet… the more raw, the better…
do yoga, meditation, exercises…
and take some glutamine… its helps very good.
I am feeling so brain dead at the moment - I have no emotions for anything… It makes me feel suicidal.
JOE I dont believe word one of anything you say. I encourage anyone to read through your posts and find out for themselves.
I read his posts and didn’t see anything wrong with them. Where do you get off telling people the symptoms they are suffering from are bogus?
Dont be a wanker oscar
Im not a wanker. This drug has made me anhedonic so I do get frustrated by this guy. He seems to be a hypochondriac at best, dishonest at worst.
Dunno, I’ve had long periods of being hypersensitive then anhedonic, basically the sense of touch and feeling went bipolar. It can go both ways on a dime.
He does exaggerate. A lot. I’m certainly not doubting he has post-fin issues and is entitled to post here but it’s a bit annoying to say he’s ‘suicidal’ when he has a little bit of fog, if it is that.
My symptoms have varied and fluctuated greatly. I only just got my sleep back you complete and utter cunt. I wouldn’t be here if I was better. I have serious ED.
Well done for digging up a load of my OLD posts dick head.
Your problems seem to fluctaute, started off as almost nothing (a possible injury from ‘jelqing’ and a single failure with your girlfriend) to any possible problem when the mood takes you.
Maybe your trolling for sympathy?
Or maybe your just getting the normal problems people experience with their lives confused with the serious and persistant side effects from finasteride use?
Um, no you dont. - see what i mean?
What the fuck do you know!?
My symptoms fit the PFS profile on the home page of this site perfectly. I was a very virile young man, with the ability to have sex with a girl or masturbate 4-6 times a day, I had morning erections, I had a sex drive. Now I cannot manage anything more than once or twice and that is an effort, I don’t have morning erections (there are times in a month maybe a few times where I will). I don’t need to go into more detail about what the drug has done to me, I have been affected with most of the symptoms on the PFS profile.
What is your problem? there are guys on here that have regular morning and nocturnal erections, things like that - why don’t you go and question them?
Your a liar, your posts are over dramatic, and I think because your older it could all just be your age.
Maybe your symptoms are very mild compared to others. I know that I can’t have sex at all much less “twice a day”. I have an embarassingly small shurnken up penis and bad ED. Its pretty depressing and no fun to admit, even here.
I’m not sure his age has much to do with it. I am alot older than you and I had the same sex drive as I had in my late teens or early 20’s to nothing post-Fin.
Anyway, maybe we should sort things like this out via PM. Lets not forget people researching this and some of the docs view this forum. This sort of posting detracts from our credibility.
Joe has a right to be pissed off. Everyone has good and bad periods and no one has the right to down play anyones condition, sure as hell not oscar the grouch.
I will not argue any further because as far as I am concerned Oscar and Luckfax are the same type of person; both have the desire to be ‘the worst’ out of us all. If your absolutely impotent, then sure that is terrible, but for a 19 year old I have very severe erectile dysfunction as well as other issues which are highlighted in my story - I couldn’t care less if you don’t believe me, I think your both pathetic. Just for the record boston, I also suffer from ‘shrinkage’ and I can sympathise with you, because it is truly devastating.
Get the thread back on track now…
I might be wrong. It certainly wouldnt be the worst mistake i ever made.
Your posts elsewhere reveal you used Fin for 10 WEEKS, Oct '09 - Dec '09 and then had one erection problem on the 30Mar '10, (3 months later) which you blamed on Propecia.
However you claimed on this website to have used Fin for 5 months before stopping in about Mar '10.
You then start a thread on 13April '10 viewtopic.php?f=26&t=3595&p=22889#p22889 and then suprisingly a month later claim to ‘crash’ 23May '10. (6months after stopping?!?)
Thats why I dont beleive you, your timeline from your posts clearly make no sense. I dont know why you make this stuff up but you have mentioned elsewhere you suffer from severe depression.
Now, lets get this thread back on track…
Fucking LOL, you have been paying way too much attention to me.
I don’t have a clue when I crashed, I always get my date mixed up by a month or so, all I know is that I was in Istanbul, pretty sure it was in early April, and I remember it very vividly. So I have been off 8-9 months. Who gives a fuck give or take a month? honestly?
Just to clarify, it all started when I did a last run of finpecia, I quit because yet again I couldn’t tolerate it and I spoke to a doctor in Egypt who told me it was dangerous, and that sort of phased me. I had previously been on and off the drug because of side effects perfectly fine. The months while I was on propecia, I was indeed very depressed and down (I now believe the drug was responsible for some of it), but generally I was stressed about balding, and losing my girlfriend. It was a bad time in my life. A lot of late last year, and early this year still leaves me very confused, I had a hard time with myself and coincidentally it all started when i popped the first propecia pill.
I posted on this forum for the first time about the rash propecia was giving me on my head and what at the time I thought were minor side effects, e.g. no morning erections. So what? aren’t there other guys on here that saw this forum before they crashed? It was only when I had crashed that this website had been updates and had a ‘post finasteride’ profile. All my symptoms matched, and I have been here ever since.
EDIT
After you posting that link, I can clarify that I crashed probably on the day before, or on the day of April 14th.
“I just woke up, and my penis feels all rubbers and irresponsive, I actually can’t get an erection. I’m so scared right now.” this was when I had absolute PFS symptoms. Before that I had some times of poor sexual functioning. Can’t you understand that you cretin? everyone has different experiences with propecia. It messed me about a little, and then really messed me up. I should have never taken it after I posted about that rash on my head basically.
Also if you find that my posts are a bit all over the place, and sometimes well written and other times poorly written it is because I am sort of desperate, or don’t have any results to talk about etc etc. I am stuck in the UK with no help, and don’t have the funds to pay for doctors and tests when they can’t even do anything. I personally feel that I am a good contributor to the forum though, I have directed people to labs for which they can get bloods done in the UK for good prices, useful and informative information elswhere, doctors etc. I’m clearly not here for a laugh…
Joe you dont have to explain yourself. We all know why we are here.
