Crash two and a half months after dropping fin

Started on Propecia 1mg near the start of September 2014 initially all was fine god the mild ball ache but heard that would fade after a few weeks (It didn’t) Had the odd Libido issue but always managed to get it up and still managed to be generally horny. I quit it in late November due to the ache being overly annoying and amongst fears of it being permanent if I didn’t stop taking it. After coming off Propecia I felt fine still had the ball ache but was able to do everything else fine. The ball ache slowly seemed like it was subsiding within the time off from Propecia then around two months off the drug I crashed no warning or nothing just hit me. Been about 5 days now and I still feel like I have the flu and can’t concentrate on much as well. Libido is pretty low too sadly one plus is I still have morning wood usually but don’t have much desire for sex either. Also had a mild pain in my bum and ball ache has returned mildly.

Not sure what to do right now wait it out? My diet isn’t the best but recently have been trying to change that and been looking into rejoining the gym along with getting the bum pain checked out in the next few days.

Do you drink much alcohol?
I’d avoid alcohol completely, for the next couple of months at least.

Mild exercise is ok, but avoid intensive exercise such as prolonged running/sprinting etc.

Hopefully you’ll be back to 100% soon.

Yeah I do or did should I say. I drank all the way through my time on Propecia and during my first month or so off from it but I didn’t drink during January once due to dry January. It was the start of This month when I picked it back up

A lot of guys (myself included) have experienced reduced alchohol tolerance after quitting propecia.
Basically drinking alcohol can aggravate symptoms.

In my case, i was unable to drink any alcohol for around a year after quitting propecia.

Thought I should post an update. Erections are a lot stronger. Sex drive is on and off. My sleep seems to have improved quite a bit I tend to get decent sleep. Ball ache still here but working on that. I can masturbate which I know I shouldn’t but I can and the brain fog is fairly minimal. I’ve joined a gym and have been doing weight training and basic amounts of cardio as well as improving my diet no fizzy drinks and general crap. Avoiding alcohol is proving to be the most difficult for me. I’m 20 I had a social life before propeica its hard to avoid it and keep aspects of my social life going. I think I’m improving though. Been taking a Zinc supplement of 50 mg at night and a multi vitamins every morning.

Honestly some aspects I think are in my head. Been avoiding this site as well not to set myself of into worrying or stressing over stuff.

A couple of glasses of red wine shouldnt hurt too much. Red wine contains resveratrol which is good for you.

Thats a very high dose.
10mg, or 15 mg per day is all you need.
Too much zinc can be counter productive as its a mild 5ar inhibitor.

I’ve been trying to keep the drinking to a minimum at the minute at least seems my tolerance for it has dipped when I do drink though.

Oh? Thanks for saying this I’ll change the dose I’m taking. My multi vitamin has 5mg of Zinc in it would this be acceptable?

5mg of zinc is ok, no need to take any more than that.

What brand of multivitamin are you taking?

It’s just a one from Amazon its the natures aid complete multi-vitamins and minerals. This one
