im here…
Hang tough depressedguy! I took fin for 7 years and stopped 4 years ago. Many times I thought of ending it all, but then my voice against Merck would have been silenced.
I’ve made some progress lately with mental/neurological sides, well enough to go back to school. I’m hoping to re-tool and get back to work. Just keep up with the treatment ideas posted here and we will all eventually see a brighter day.
And when we do, I think we should all have a reunion in person to celebrate some day.
thanks towm8er. you are my family. all of you.
Glad to see you are still with us.
yeah, thanks. sorry to demoralize all of you.
im playing this “life game” as expert mode now. i hope i can beat this one day. i will do everything until give up. but i can not accept life like this. i will recover or i will die. i can’t thinking a life with pfs 30 years.
I too am walking a fine line.
How some of you guys have withstood 5+ years with bad pfs is beyond me. Strong men. I know I’ll go insane like this eventually just from the mental effects of the sexual sides.
I could never understand this either but my attitude has changed over the last couple of months.
You just need to find a way to get on with your life and stop obsessing about recovery. I use to spend at least 3 to 6 hours a day researching medical journals, trying to find even a slither of reasoning that could potentially improve my condition.
In the end you just have to accept this has happened, realise there is very little you can do about it, and just try to live the best you can until a solution is found.
Having low androgenic activity is undeniably shit. But that doesn’t stop you from socialising, working or appreciating just being alive. There are hundreds of more debilitating diseases. This guy had a flesh-eating virus that forced amputation of three of his limbs. He’s still appreciative of the fact he’s alive.
I can sympathize with suicidal thoughts and brooding, I did that for the first 10 months. But it becomes a vicious cycle that you need to break out of.
danny will you keep goıng to lıvıng ıf they wıll say ıts not curable? 30 years wıth pfs?
I understand what you are tryıng to say. But future make me worried, frightened. And when ı ımagıne ı wıll have pfs more 30 years and nobody stıll wont belıeve me , ı scared man.
If you had a cancer, your famıly help you, ıf you became ampute everybody help you but when you have pfs, everybody force you actıng lıke normal but ıts ımpossıble!
I have emotıonal bluntness man, ı mean really bluntness. I can not feel anythıng, but everybody force me to laugh, smıle, be energıc, do responılıbıtes lıke past. My school exam result came bad, ıts beyond my power, ım not same person, ı cant do ssame thıngs lıke past.
Eventually ı wıll become mad, or leave hom and become a homeless…
Have you sought any treatment at all for your depression? I understand why you would not want to take an SSRI - due to the established problems with these drugs. But there are certain anti-depressants which guys on here have had success with. E.g. Remeron. I know that you probably don’t want to take another drug. But if you can resolve your depression, your entire outlook will become much easier. It is seriously worth considering getting some treatment for your depression. With a doctor, discuss the idea of a anti-depressant which does not have sexual sides. There are anti-depressants out there which fit this criteria. There is no need to feel like hell all of the time.
i have average brain fog , im worried what if its become worse?
I believe that THETIGERSHULL is on Remeron. You could ask him and see how he got on.
okay, i will ask him.
Please do.
Everyone here wants the best for you.
thanks, its good to hear that someones thinks me, that means a lot to me.
Yes I’m on Remeron
I was given Remeron whilst I was inside the mental home and I’ve been on it since I left
I’ve taken it for about 6 months now and it’s helped me a lot with my mental side effects and solved my thoughts of suicide
You should try it DepressedGuy
thanks, does it effect brain fog?
Helped me think clearer and good for sleep too
does anybody solve tınnıtus or vısıon problem. They re so annoyıng me.
I don’t know if you are still checking this site, but I just wanted to add that I recovered sleep after about 18-24 months off of Propecia. It’s still not perfect, but neither is my skin, my desensitized gentalia, my dry eyes, ringing ears, and poor short-term memory… still have all of this after 5 years.
Whatever is wrong, I’m certain that my body does not produce the same mixture or proportion of hormones in either my prostate, dermis, or both–and maybe other areas. My sleep and anxiety are not nearly as bad as they were 5 years ago. Yet, it doesn’t take to much stress to give me high anxiety–which would probably indicate some hormonal problem that persists.
Make sure your eyes are moisturized (salt water/saline solution) and try to spend less time near lighting that bothers you (for me, flourescent light bulbs cause pain).
i tried remeron just once, and my vision became shitter, so i scared and i guess i wont try anymore
