im 17 years old and am almost fully bald so i wanted to try propecia to recover my hair. I ended up buying generic finasteride called fincar 5mg. On June 20th i took a full 5mg and June 21 split the pill into 1/4s and took 1.25mg. I realized the sexual side effects right away and stopped after just those 2 days. Now its been 3 weeks since ive been off the drug and still have erectile dysfunction, impotence, brain fog, hard time comprehending things and slight studder, terrible depression and suicidal thoughts. I realized i took a full 5mg the first day but I only took the pill for 2 days. Is there a good chance eventually i will be back to normal if so how long for anyone whos only been on the drug for a few days -1 week. Ive also noticed my penis has shrunk and got skinnier I dont know what to do im only 17 and dont want my sex life and mind ruined forever. I feel like with the brain fog and depression ive been living in a dream these past 3 weeks. Can someone please help
Yes, there’s a very good chance you will return to normal in the coming weeks.
Stay calm and you should feel better soon.
DONT PANIC, you will BE FINE.
my advice to you is to stop masturbating and get on a strict, healthy diet (mostly fish and vegetables). eat organic, avoid food that isn’t natural straight from the earth. eat sugar and carbs rarely and only when you need to. you’ll get used to the veggie and fish diet. drink A LOT of water ( AT LEAST 2 L)
google natural anti inflammatory, start doing yoga on a daily basis (yoga opens up blood flow throughout your body), and stay on this for a month or two and come back and see how you feel.
avoid this forum when you are trying to heal and only come back when you MUST. the negativity and panicky people will make you lose touch with reality.
check out solon’s prostatis thread because there is lots of hope there.
be very weary about taking herbs to open your sex drive or pharmaceutical drugs…
most important advice i can give you is avoid masturbation and eat strict healthy diet (get multi vitamins as well)
good luck.
