How is your gym work now ? Benching has helped me a lot , it pretty much helped me knock out the one sided gyno I had forming in the last few months of finasteride Use. Was that 200 push ups in sets of 20 or something ?

No, I could do 200 push ups without stopping, I was big into sports would play football on Friday nights and go to MMA on the Monday’s and sometimes Wednesdays. I have also completely lost my strength the muscles have turned to sponge. Have also noticed a sharp reduction in heart muscle being able to pump blood efficiently around the body, I believe PFS affects any organ that essentially has a muscle causing atrophy.
1.) Were you depressed before starting Finasteride
Yes. I’ve been clinically depressed from time to time, also suffering from episodes of health anxiety with weird symptoms I’ve had. I was eventually able to get over the depression on my own without any medication
2.) Were you hypersexual?
I wasn’t sexually active until recently. However, I used to masturbate very often. In fact, I would classify it as excessive. So Yes.
3.) How strong were you, did you have high Testosterone levels?
I would say No. I never had my T measured until recently. But I wouldn’t say a had a natural disposition to be super strong. In fact I would suspect I’d be on the lower of the T spectrum/ or higher on the E spectrum.
4.) Were you stressed before taking Finasteride?
No. I wouldn’t say excessively.
1.) Were you depressed before starting Finasteride
Not even close. Happy as hell, tons of dopamine.
2.) Were you hypersexual?
Yes but not extremely - definitely high libido and high sexual function. I’d say a very healthy, strong libido and sexual functioning.
3.) How strong were you, did you have high Testosterone levels?
Top of range Testosterone (natural) and worked out 4-5 days a week constantly
4.) Were you stressed before taking Finasteride?
Nope
1.) Were you depressed before starting Finasteride
nope generally a pretty happy person. Life was actually better than usual everything was going well. Although there is mental illness in my family and i have adhd so some kind of brain abnormality going on.
2.) Were you hypersexual?
Yes definitely
3.) How strong were you, did you have high Testosterone levels?
High, could always put on muscle easy. Did not have it measured before finasteride but my T is in the mid 700s so seems normal. I don’t know if this has changed much (haven’t noticed muscle wasting).
4.) Were you stressed before taking Finasteride?
Stressed in the sense it was my birthday weekend so I took MDMA and lots of drinking. I really believe this contributed to how i’ve ended up.
Not stressed or depressed prior and was fit super strong with a very high sex drive
1.) Were you depressed before starting Finasteride (saw palmetto in my case)
Yes, always suffered with depression and mental health issues to some degree
2.) Were you hypersexual?
Yes, high libido, good sex life for the past year and a half
3.) How strong were you, did you have high Testosterone levels?
Not exceptionally strong, but athletic. Went to the gym several times a week and used to do boxing. Still feeling fit physically, my sides are purely sexual and to an extent mental.
4.) Were you stressed before taking Finasteride?
Yes, stressed due to a recent breakup, coronavirus lockdown, university workload and perceived hairloss among other things.
1.) Were you depressed before starting Finasteride
No. I was upset about hairloss, but I wouldn’t say it was depression.
2.) Were you hypersexual?
Yes. I almost always thought about sex. I have a larger-than-average penis.
3.) How strong were you, did you have high Testosterone levels?
I definitely believe I was on the stronger side. I barely worked out, yet my body looks somewhat jacked, especially with tighter shirt on. I think I was benching close to 200 lbs pre-fin, and the only exercise I did was light jogging and/or cycling. I barely lift, and if I do, it’s almost always with light weights. I’m pretty sure I would be even bigger if I did heavy lifting.
4.) Were you stressed before taking Finasteride?
Possibly. I was a bit anxious about the side effects,
1.) Were you depressed before starting Finasteride
Not really, I was happy with how my life was going.
2.) Were you hypersexual?
No, just a normal libido.
3.) How strong were you, did you have high Testosterone levels?
Normal, I was well build and fairly muscular. Didnt measure my T levels before.
4.) Were you stressed before taking Finasteride?
Perhaps a little. I noticed my hair was thinning quite a bit in a short time spam.
- No
- At times, but overall no
- Athletic strong, but not crazy strong. More of a quick athlete than strong athlete.
- Yes, I had been drinking on spring break and got sick with strep throat. This is something I have noticed in most cases, some sort of stressors (i.e. lack of sleep, job stress, drugs, etc.)
