Guys, I have been off of Finasteride for 2 1/2 months and my number one symptom is pure exhaustion. My eyelids are very heavy and my body is very weak. If I sleep I’m even more exhausted when I get up. Can you guys please tell me why I’m experiencing this? How long does it last? I know These meds mess with gaba receptors which can cause this.
Cortef or Isocort will help with the zombie feeling. It will not cure all your symptoms though.
Similar issue here. Been off for only 15 days but they have all been hell. 2-3 hours of unrestful sleep.
Guys, will the exhaustion/weakness ever end? I’m 3 months off and my eyes are closing and I feel like I could topple over.
Its worth trying Xanax. If you do I suggest you cut the pill down in 1/4. You can always increase the dose if needed.
I’ve had pfs for over 2 years now and still feel destroyed when I wake up… constant brainfog/headache and heavy/blurred eye feeling all the time… feeling entirely fed up now. I am however able to sleep for 8 hour periods without waking, which i realise isn’t true of everyone.
Also has anyone noticed an onset of ptosis (drooping eyelid) in their eye?
I slept last night without any meds. Got about 7 hours and didn’t feel like total shit in the morning. Hopefully this trend will continue.
check your tsh imemdiately and report back this is adrenal fatigue / thyroid failure (my guess and my recovery)
My TSH is 1.74
Search adrenal fatigue, try supplements for now
if,you experienced crash.
go to doc talk about,adrenals not Testesterone or other things
My TSH was 1.33 before I took Fin. and I was fine. I could sleep like a normal human. After Fin TSH is now 0.68 and I have wicked insomnia. I don’t think TSH manipulation will make a difference. I have been chatting with some of the guys that have been dealing with this stuff for a long time and remeron 15 mg is what they need to sleep. I am trying to get some from my doctor now. If all you got from this nasty drug is Insomnia your one of the lucky ones. If that’s all that happened to me I think I could live with it. Especially if remeron helped.
Its not. Little diffrence in t4 intake makes you zombie tonite. I am currently taking 25ug t4 if i take 39ug t4 i will be a horny and very hyperactive guy i cant sleep after 3 am and wake up in the early morning but not refreshed, like a zombie.
so my tsh is 2.1 i think i drops to around 1 when i take 39ug.
so it makes a huge diffrence both sexual and mentally
adrenals and thyroid is failing after some,time, not so much but a little bit after that drug usage and,hormonal,imbalances etc. You can understand. Some your glands changing their working ranges and tolerances. They are adopting
