my french story

I’m french, so sorry for my bad english

I’m 29. I take fina (1.25 mg) for 7 year and I just stop it now by reading thoses post.

During several I though I had no side effects.
but for 2 year, my libido dropped. Sex didn’t interested me.
I was always depressed and weakly . I though it was because of my personal problems, but I noted that I was always tired even I was in vacation at the beach.
My girlfriend left me and thought I was a gay because I had no sex with her.

I always have brain fog. It was like I did’t know if I was in a movie or in the reality. some people told me, when they were talking to me, I didn’t understand very fast. I was as I saw people, but I didn’t react

In the morning, when I wake up, I often very agressive and rage without any explanations

I though my IQ was dropped, but no because I can resolve logical issue. it is mainly a problem of concentration.

I was also very anxious. my arms trembled very often.
I always forgot many things and needed to write to not forget.

I lost 3 times my job. Some colleague nicknamed me “the autistic” because of my stranger behavior.

Now I stopped fina 1 week ago. I’m feeling very tired and I always wants to sleep. I hope side effets will soon disappear.
I’m alone and I don’t try to get a new girlfriend because I have absolutely no sexual desire

It is to early to make any comments or assumptions. I think everything will be fine within next weeks or months. Just relax and do not mess with your body… no alcohol and stuff…

I’ve been off propecia since 6 months.

after 1 months, my penis became larger, and I became more energetic.
2 months later, I have baldness again

gradually, I recover but

I realized that I had many other sides without knowing it was due to propecia.
I had sunburn very easily
My skin and my fingers were thin.
when I was stressed I had red shape on my skin.
My penis was curved and bit twisted.
My penis veins were swollen and quite visible.
My penis were a bit violet/blue and numb
I though it was because of too tighted knickers but now I know it’s beacause of propecia.
I was often peeed even if nothing happened.

I had memories problems. I forgot everything and I needed to write in order not to forget.

I was very stressful and each situtation which was basic stressful made me very afraid like if I was not able to control my body

When I was walking and if I loosed my way, I had panic attack like I was lost for all my life even if I was able to retrieve my way easily.

When someone said something unpleasant to me, I was very angry and susceptible like in my head I could not counter thoses thinkings and I had rumination.

-It was difficult to speak a lot. The words did not come in my mind. I had very few imagination and creativity. I had no emotion safe angry and sadness. It was difficult to be concentrate.

-In the moring, it was very difficult to wake up and I was very angry.

Since 6 months I take :
-multivitamins
-protein.
-since 2 months, I added omega 3

6 months later:

my libido is not back. When I see a beautiful woman, I don’t feel something special. The good new is sometime I have morning wood about every 2 weeks.

-my short memory is still ruined. It is difficult to remember my everyday life. I have very few souvenirs in my head. I need to take a lot of pictures.
I alwas think about old depleasant souvenir which were happened 3/5 years ago, like if my life was in the past, not in the present.

-I feel less depressed but still. I try medidation which help me a lot. One time I fell happy and 1 hour later, I want to cry whitout any explanation and I remember bad souvenir.

  • I have more energy. No more people say that I am like a haschisch smoker. But I have still very emotion. When good news happen, I don’t feel a lot happiness.

-my penis is 40% larger and my veins less visible. but it is still curved

-for my baldness, I tried topical spironolactone. But it gave me heart ache and dizziness. I think it not good for my recovery because it is a Dht receptor blocker.

-I think I will try maca for my libido, and if no success, I will try tribulus.

I don’t know what to do for my memory.

donni, es tu allé voir un médecin pour tout cela??

donni, did you go to a doctor for all this ??

no, I just send my blood test to an endocrinologist in Paris, St Antoine Hospital, which said we don’t need to do something and wait.

Donni, what is the name of the guy in st.antoine?

because i have an appointment in st.antoine with an endo by the end of september.

if we both go to see him, our stories will be more reliable.

could you PM me ?
