Tell us your story, in your own words, about your Finasteride usage and side effects experienced while on/off the drug. Please excuse my very poor and laughable english. I try to tell you so good i can. I went to my doctor to ask what i can do to protect my hair, i doesent have hat hair loss. He looked me and say Finasteride.This is so a f… joke!!Prespiction in the Hand and lets go to buy the Poison. One month later i had feel depresssive moods and anixety so strong that i was not more able to excersise Bodybuilding. On month six i had feel that my dick is not able to get an erection.and the anixety and depression goes higher and higher. I went to my f… doctor ask him if this could be from finasteride, he says no never in earth, its all in my mind.He looked at me like i was a psychopath. How dare i to say what negativ about his lovely finasterid???
he tell me to go on on the drug and dont care about sideeffects. I was so a freaking idiot i continue the drug for a half year and notice that i have for the first time in my life hair loss.Imagine i take this poison to protect my hair, never had hairloss im life before fin and the result is hairloss what the f…?at this time i stopped this drug and 3 weeks later hell is already there.No libido, my penis and testicles shrunk and is like from a 8 year old boy, extreme depression and anixety, very extreme sleep problems, brain fog, fatigue all over the body, extreme muscle wastage over night. this was so scary i wake next morning and realise that my body has dramatically change.my teeth are decline and my bones too
i am 28 and look now like a 60 year old man. Im very tired all day cant go out anymore or do what i have do before in my life. I have to end my bodybuilding carrer and my job in the office. My girlfriend leave me beause she think im lying to her that i cant perform sex anymore because of this crap!!I was a happy and very powerful and strong person before this shit. Now my Life is ruined i live now with my parents, becuase im not able to do anything and even they dont believe me it came all from finasteride.They think i have do another drugs but i dont hav ever take another drugs.my eyes are dry like the sun and maybe it is weird but i cant take a shit on the toilet anymore like pre fin. I cant explain these in words.
I was in the hospital and thell them my story and guess what?3 doctors there dont even know this drug and says i have a mental problem f…k them all. And the only doctor who know this shit says finasteride is on of the safest drug ever and laugh at me like a moron and say you cannot have any sideeffects of this drug. WHAT THE F…??? im scared to hell i dont know what to do. The day that i research about this poison and find this site was the worst in my life. Imagine you have to search on your own on the internet rather than trust a doctor. My Life has gone and i wish my old life back. But this is not possible this drug take everthing from me EVERTHING!!! Mayby this is the most shitty english please excuse again, but im glad to tell my story to people they actually believe me. Its like living in a nightmare its easier to have aids or cancer against this PFS because no one in Hell belives you and no Doc cant tell what happend to my body.I dont know what to do.
I think about to kill myself every single day ,mayby then anybody would believe me. Mayby i think to kill my doctor because this f…r is the Reason why i took this pills.I am criying all the day and laying in my bed and think about how great Life was without this Poison.
Its a half year since i stopp this shit and nothing improves. What are they thinking to bring such a Dangerous Drug to the Market?? Is this a new Chemically Weapon and they need Idiots like us to test it?? i cant believe that. I would be very happy if anthing read my story and write me back. I hope all PFS Suffers get Revenge one day.
