I have similar problems and I’m 12 years PFS. I have high/normal libido and shrinkage/tissue changes, testicle and penis pain, and ED.
I second that, except for the pain and I have to add minor numbness like someone wrote if you aim your shower on your penis I only feel the area around my penis. I somehow still feel my penis but not as intense as I used to when I touch it
I’d kill for that side
You could be in the hyperandrogenic phase before the crash, be warned.
That made me nervous haha Thank you for that info tho. Any recommendations on how to avoid the crash ?
I think if you’re gonna crash you’re gonna crash sadly.
Best of luck you dont
Oh well. Thank you anyway lets hope for the best. I Hope you are gonna improve man.
Thank you sir
I’m really fucking afraid Im gonna crash. It really looks like I am gonna since Im feeling weirdly well. Fuck Im tempted to go back on a lower dose and taper off slower what do you reckon ?
Don’t. Inadvisable. You could just make things so much worse. For me, taking another dose after side effects is what really fucked me up.
Thanks but I feel to good right now. Its so odd and Im certain Im gonna crash. I dont know what to do
dont even consider going back on it
You’ve already stopped using it. Taking more at this point won’t be another chance to taper - you’ll be starting it again. This is an exceptionally bad idea. You risk worsening your symptoms significantly.
Taking Finasteride again won’t do a thing for you stay well clear from it.
Would like to update on that. Been off fin since for roughly 2 weeks and today is the first day where I feel normal again. Mental dulness is gone, depression phases get less frequent and less severe. Erections are slowely normalizing and my penile shrinkage seems to be gone for now. ( was cold, small and numb before now its pretty much like pre fin ) . Erections are still not 100%
Sounds like a positive trend you got going! I hope it stays that way.
You should be fully recovered soon please never touch that poison again!
I hope I will! And I surely wont ever touch it again. Thanks guys! Will keep you updated
One more update. I still have ED on most days+ penile shrinkage when flaccid and also when erect. Mental sides are pretty much gone (experienced 2 anxiety+ depression phases since last update 2 weeks ago. Im still regrowing hair since I stopped which I find really odd. Will give another update in a few weeks time , thanks guys !
Any updates? I seem pretty similar to you but am doing ok so far, minus mild shrinkage. Did that go away for you?
