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 wasnāt 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.

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 themā¦ 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 thatās what I care about.
Doesnāt 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. Itās so bad, I canāt fucking function. I already scheduled a doctors appointment but I have no idea what to do. Will this ever go away? Iām afraid to go to sleep and wake up and realize it still hasnāt gone away. Please for the love of god someone tell me what to do. Iām fucking scared,
Iām 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 canāt miss and I am on deadlines. What type of doctor can help get me back on track? I canāt play the waiting game for weeks or months I donāt have that kind of timeā¦ I will loose everything
Iām 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 Iāve spent two days on 1 chapter from a simple biology book
In my previous posts I didnāt 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 shouldāve 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 canāt get over that I think I have PFS from pushing through the meds even when I knew I had symptoms. Iām extremely worried. If anyone can talk itād help

Hi everyone. Iām still waking up with horrible brain fog 2nd day off fin, and erectile dysfunction. Tried to jerk Off yesterday and got it up for about 2 minutes. Iām just wondering at what point I should start planning doctor appointments. I canāt deal with this anymore itās fucking destroying my mentality about life. My life is in studying and going to med school yet I canāt because I canāt fucking study. At what point can I start seeing doctors to plan some kind of relieving treatment such as chlofin? Is there anything I can do now (naturally) to reduce brain fog? Iāve been eating healthier, sleeping more, anything else? Also is VITAMIN B-12 SAFE?? I take it daily not because of these symptoms
Just sit and waitā¦ Nothing else.

Please dont go to see any doctor or listen to what they say, nor take anything they might prescribe youā¦Noone can claim to have the slightest of an idea how this poison messes our bodiesā¦You will get a better advice of listening to a plumber, who has PFS, than some arrogant doctor, who will take absurd amount of money to give you the better no solution, the worse something that can make you really worseā¦Listen to the veterans hereā¦I have already sent you a pm the other dayā¦Read it againā¦Understand itā¦And then read it once moreā¦Stay safe

Thanks man. Can you resend the pm
There is never a point where you choose to get worried about PFSā¦ Would you want to get worried about cancer or heart attacks or some rare infection? No. You would take it as it comes if you ever got any disease, but to think about starting to worry about a disease makes no sense. Control your anxiety in a healthy way. Anxiety and what if what if what if make things rough.
I canāt do anything because of the brain fog Iām just sitting here, I canāt move
