Do you also have pressure in the head?
I’ve had constant brain fog and pressure behind the eyes, nose, forehead, cheeks (sinus area), and sometimes in the back of my head for 4.5 years now.
Thanks man I fucking hope so. Right now I see no end
Yup spot on.
Will it really take months? I don’t have months 
Yeah it took me 6 months, although I still have a slight sense of confusion or zoning out occasionally, It’ll take some time man, but you’ll be fine. Just don’t experiment and don’t go crazy like people on this site.
Did you do anything to help it?
Check out modafinil bud. Research it. Ask your doc about it. I have pfs and it helps very much for me. If you want a place to start find Dave asprey modafinil on YouTube.

I got my mental symptoms reversed with Modafinil. It worked incredibly killed my anhedonia restored my enjoyment from life then doc switched me to methylphenidate and i recovered from most of the mental sides.
I almost never come here anymore and for good reason. If it wasn’t for the occasional notification e-mail I would probably never come here again. Anyway this thread caught my eye and it looks some of you are spinning out of control. Like I did then this shit happened to me. Your not going to believe me but this brain fog issue has completely resolved for me 100%. It took a little over a year or so. People do get better and when they do they are not sitting on this site constantly typing in shit to calm the recently infected. This place is a rotating echo chamber and its easy to get the impression that this is a permanent problem. It is not.

While many get better, not everyone does.
Can you take our survey to help out those who haven’t seen the improvement that you have, please.

By mental symptoms do you mean the brain fog?
Short attention span, impaired working memory. Sometimes I forgot the keys were in my hand and I was searching for them… it was the deepest point for me. Thank god I have recovered.

How ddid you get rid of it?? How long?
Brother with mph most mental problems solved but I want my dick back that’s what I care about.
Doesn’t help
I have been on finasteride for a few months and after noticing brain fog I flushed the rest of the pills down the toilet today. The brain fog I am experiencing and have been experiencing alll day is making me want to kill myself. It’s so bad, I can’t fucking function. I already scheduled a doctors appointment but I have no idea what to do. Will this ever go away? I’m afraid to go to sleep and wake up and realize it still hasn’t gone away. Please for the love of god someone tell me what to do. I’m fucking scared,
I’m considering trying Pregnenolone. I am a full day off fin and my brain fog is horrible. When I first took finasteride I had some brain fog that only lasted a few hours, after my last pill yesterday my brain fog clicked something and literally made me brain dead. I have assignments due that I can’t miss and I am on deadlines. What type of doctor can help get me back on track? I can’t play the waiting game for weeks or months I don’t have that kind of time… I will loose everything
I’m still freaking out about this brain fog and if it will ever go away. Since people here have said that fin can cause neurological damage should I see a brain doctor? An endocrinologist? I hate this brain fog feeling I’ve spent two days on 1 chapter from a simple biology book
In my previous posts I didn’t mention that I was also dealing with ED. Throughout the two months of taking fin my dick was non existent. I kept powering through and jerking off with a limp dick even though I should’ve known to stop. Does anyone have a timeline on when the ED and horrible brain fog will start to subdue? I know other people have said months and years I just can’t get over that I think I have PFS from pushing through the meds even when I knew I had symptoms. I’m extremely worried. If anyone can talk it’d help
