Never thought I would be here right now but I think it’s important to get this out and maybe join in a community of others that I may soon be joining, (more on that). A little about myself, I’m 23 and a junior at my university studying clinical lab science. (Hopefully if I recover I could join in the research when I graduate).
I started noticing hair loss and like many others freaked out and jumped on the finasteride train. After noticing some fatigue and worsening depression I decided to quit after 1 and a half months. I was taking .5mg before dropping it to .25mg with no success. This was 2 weeks ago and since then have been anticipating the worst as all sorts of new issues have been popping up.
My current symptoms have been:
-continued fatigue and weakness
-depression, panic, and hopelessness
-discomfort but not any pains in the groin
-curving
-hourglass / hard flaccid (urinating helps)
-lower libido
-cold tip
-Morning wood that goes away fast
I realize it is early since I quit but I have noticed a “lifting” of mood along with stronger than normal erections and libido at times that has me anticipating a “crash” and am merely waiting for the day I wake up with more problems. I pray this doesn’t happen but I feel either way I wanted to join here to either give my recovery story and move on or to stay and hopefully help others who are struggling. I like to think I have a strong soul but this surely has put it to the test and if things get worse I hope to get some insight from experienced members and to hopefully be a helpful member of the forum.
Thanks everyone.
