Is crashing............good for you?

Before everyone goes crazy here, I just want to explain what I am thinking. Like many others reported here, I have actually had some of my best feeling moments following following very bad downswings. Remember after the horrible initial crash (for me upon cesation of the drug after 9 years of no noticeable symptoms) I had about a week or more where I felt like I was getting better. Around a month ago I was in that deep dark place everyone knows, zero erections, no mind penis connection, bloating, zero libido, no pleasesure in orgasm…however the upswing for the last month has been one of my best in 7 months (got off drug 7 months ago). In fact, I have had nocturnal and morning erections fairly consistenly for the last 3-4 weeks, which previously had only been 3 to 4 days in a row and then gone. Another user, whom I decided to follow since his symptoms mimic mine was Proscared. Proscared reported horrible crashes as well with very high rebound effects. Others have reported benefits after these coined “crashes” Previously, I had felt my worse when things were sort of status quo with regards to symptoms. perhaps the key to any recovery is to jolt the system a bit…jump start it and see how you feel. Since my last crash, it appears my cold hands and feet (cold intolerance) as well as the previously mentioned return of nocturnal erections has occured. Thoughts?

Fina, slightly off topic, but after stopping, when did your crash happen?

In my 9th year I started to notice some sides, mainly red face, cold intolerance, stomach problems as I began to slowly get off propecia. After 1 week. My penis went completely dead and all sides broke loose

i had bad, bad sides while on finasteride, but for me, the true hell began when i quit the drug … prior to using finasteride, i always felt great in all regards, i just happened to be shedding a few hairs on my head is all …

I don’t think PFS crashes are good for you anymore than Diabetic shocks are good for you. I think they are severe health complications and both should be treated as medical emergencies.
