Hi Guys
Been reading this site and it has scared me witless.Have decided to quit Propecia immediately and would really like some help advice as to what i should look for/what i should be /should not be doing.I am taking an anti anxiety tablet 30mg of citalopram and have been for a couple of years now.
This is why the symptoms are difficult to ascertain ie depression anxiety erectile disfunction but having read some of your posts i KNOW this drug is not for me.I am worried how damaged i will be after 3 months, and what i should be looking for as the warning signs.
PLEASE HELP WITH REASSURANCE, ADVICE AND WARNING SIGNS.
Hope to hear from you soon guys
