- What (if any) treatments have you undertaken to recover from your side effects since discontinuation of the drug?
The only thing I have done so far is a 4 days distilled water-fast. - If you have pre or post-Finasteride bloodtests, what hormonal changes have you encountered since discontinuing the drug (pls post your test results in the “Blood Tests” section and link to them in your post)?
I had after one year of quitting my testorene levels check and they were under the roof! I remember that day looking at girls and feel nothing… - Anything not listed in the above questions you’d like to share about your experience with Finasteride?
We should ban Finasteride from the Markets its a fucked up drug, and those doctors are fucking iditios that believe what pharmas says. - Tell us your story, in your own words, about your Finasteride usage and side effects experienced while on/off the drug.
I had the typical surge of 2-3 days after quitting I was me again, but again as a week passed I was unSEXALTHY again…
After one year and a half im feeling a bit better last time I check my testosteron was in 440 of 240-800 range.
