Its been over 5 years since I first used Propecia. Since that time I have been getting worse. I can’t sleep and my anxiety is through the roof. Is there anything I can do to help relieve my symptoms. I’m really in a bad state right now. Please, no negative comments. If you know of anything that could help, please share
P.S. I also can’t cope with stress like I use to. I’m thinking of getting my Cortisol checked.
I forgot to mention that I am also eccessively thirsty all the time, which is abnormal for me.
I did an adrenal stress test via a European laboratory called Genova diagnostics:

I am sure you could do a search on google to find a lab in the USA.
For an adrenal stress test, you usually provide 4 saliva samples at different times of the day, then send the samples back to the lab via special delivery.
Do you have a good doctor who can interpret the test results and provide the right meds if necessary?
Usually an adrenal stress test is ordered/recommended by a doctor …
noniman, did your cortisol test come back ok?
No, i have adrenal stress and am taking a cortisol supplement under guidnace of my doctor.
Is the cortisol supplment helping to feel a little better?
I took finasteride for 10-11 years and had the same horrible problem you’re describing, read this thread for what cured me from the sleep problems with no relapse and no continuation of drugs:
Ambien + 3 mg of melatonin for 2-3 nights
Yes its definitely helping me with regards to sleep quality, energy levels and sexual well being.
