Seriously…For realz, What is up with finasteride and spatial memory?
For myself, this is the single greatest symptom and it is Unreal. I generally have “brain fog”, and was diagnosed with attention deficit disorder after taking finasteride for roughly 10 years.
But the Spatial Memory stands out above all things. Constantly wandering through parking lots. Ending up on the wrong side of the City.
I often wonder how many people take finasteride and then get incorrectly diagnosed with attention deficit disorder in their adult life. For myself, I completed an entire degree, but as I continued to take finasteride my ability to focus and concentrate became worse, to the point that upon a second degree I could not handle the introductory courses.
But that is NOTHING compared to some of the horror stories I have trying to remember where I was, where I am, where I’m going, where other people are and where my belongings are. My navigation, on the other hand, is excellent (probably from so much practice being lost). My working spatial memory is fine, to say the least. But my recall is almost non-existent.
Is my case unusual, or does this sound familiar? I’m quite curious as to other’s experiences with spatial memory. And, of course, any advise on how you treated/coped with it.
