From about 2003 until now I’ve been taking generic Propecia. Also during that time, I had a very secure and well-paying job. I work hard, and I also acquired a lot of rental property for second income. My net worth peaked at close to 2 million dollars during that time, which is also about the same period I was taking Propecia. This doesn’t make me Donald Trump, but I came a long way from nothing. During this time I was mostly in very good spirits. I wasn’t really wealthy, but I was able to pay my bills, had a nice home wife and kids, and was able to put a little money aside.
In 2011 my job got tougher and I elected to take an early retirement offer. Not much money involved, but I figured I had the rental income to supplement things, and I was able to keep my heath care coverage at a very low cost. My net worth has suffered a lot due to the housing market, and I’m not as confident as I used to be.
The first few months of retirement felt fine, but soon I began worrying about whether my houses would stay rented, had a few major house repairs, and suddenly realized my gravy job was gone and I wasn’t so secure anymore. This was about the time I started having my anxiety attacks and mood problems. Could the Propecia be magnifying my insecurities? I’m wondering if I had the symptoms before, but my almost total lack of worry meant they didn’t manifest as much. I stopped taking it a week or so ago because the anxiety was almost overwhelming. I’m taking Xanax when necessary to deal with it
Does my theory make sense?
