And again, there is a fake recover story. Someone who has such strong sides and tells us that he is recovering within months by just living a healthy life and taking minerals. Great! :laughing:

  4. Tell us your story, in your own words, about your Finasteride usage and side effects experienced while on/off the drug.

After 1 y 4m of taking 0.5MG EOD propecia, while travelling the world, I began to experience horrible side-effects.
Firstly, my immune system seemed very weak - I caught 3 infections in 3 weeks, when I took antibiotics prescribed in Thailand, I got terrible panic attacks, and weird sensations.

Lastly after the 3rd infection (ear), and fever, I started to suspect Propecia. I cut it off last week but then tried one more dose to taper yesterday at 0.25MG, which worsened symptoms, so I will quit forever now.

My symptoms are, in order of disturbance are: Terrible mental and physical fatigue, Fever’ish feeling in the body many times per day, very difficult to eat - constantly feel hungry but unable to eat much, lost significant weight (also caught dysentry while in India, that didn’t help), blurred vision, feeling weird when out and about, more anger and depression due to symptoms, unable to spend fun quality time with people due to all this.

I know I am at the very beginning of recovery and it could pass relatively quickly without PFS, but what are the odds?
What would you recommend to someone in the beginning of recovery?
I am going to see the doctor who prescribed me this shit in 2 days, and will do a full series of tests. Any recommendations?

Thank you all!
