Exactly. Hence the words Treatment option.
Wow i hadnt smoked any pot in a little while, until last night.
I had a massive surge of libido and a rock hard boner.
When I smoke I have the ability to fantasize again, something I have trouble doing sober. Its like a connection is made when Iām high that is not when Iām sober. If I think about sex I get that urge that I was so used to having everyday. Unfortunately, for me at least, the benefits exist only when high.
Does anyone know if marijuana is good or bad, in relation to adrenal fatigue? Iāve found articles saying itās a cause for adrenal fatigue and others saying itās a treatment option.
Fixthis have you ever been round a woman or had sex while high, post finasteride?
If i get high on some good weed, i only need to think about sex for 1 second and i get that nice (real sex drive) feeling in my prostate area and stomach and get rock hard erections. Like yourself, this only lasts while i am high.
You are not going to get a credible answer to your question regarding adrenal fatigue. Nobody knows. I smoked quite regularly a few months ago and i have to say, i thoroughly enjoyed it. Life with PFS probably wouldnāt be too bad with a regular supply of good weed and cialis. I did experience some extremely scary paranoia though.
Yes. Over the last couple years. It was a huge help with my past relationship. There were very few times, maybe like 2 in the last couple years, where I still had trouble performing even when high. However, I was never with a woman high pre meds, so I have no comparison but I can only imagine how horny I wouldāve beenā¦
Thats pretty much what I figuredā¦ As for getting high, I think itās been a great help in dealing with PFS for me, both mentally and sexually. No paranoia here, thankfully.
I have no paranoia either.
Relating to adrenal fatigue, perhaps you could spend some time researching the different arguments and present us with an unbiased view? My guess is that most strains would help adrenal fatigue - in small quantities of course - as cannabis is a known muscle relaxant.
More evidence this is muscle/prostate related in my opinion
User experience from Solonjk posted in another thread:
I have alot of experience with marijuana and pfs.
I used to smoke mj before taking finasteride and now also when suffering with pfs.
I think it helps in small doses. If i dont smoke for a week and then smoke a little, I get these libido surges and erections. But If smoking daily, it only improves the condition by maybe 10-20%.
As for strains, for myself indicas and indica/sativa hybrids work best. some of the time 100% sativas also work, but i dont think as well as the indica dominant strains.
A good strain to look into is Strawberry cough
leafly.com/hybrid/strawberry-cough
It is said to be the best anti anxiety weed. This strain would probably really help if ones problem was psychologigal (āfight or flee feelingā).
If I take too much mj i just get a racy head. With thoughts constantly running thru the brain and not able to concentrate on anything.
Also, if ur planning on trying mj get a vaporizer. U get all the benefits and none of the bad side effects associated with smoking.
Good vaporizers i can recommend are Da Buddha and arizer extreme Q. Both have great value for the money spent.
Smoking weed and taking 25mg of viagra I can get a good erection, altho i still dont enjoy sex nearly as much as what it was before taking finasteride. But it is certainly better than nothing.
I also notice that mj takes the āzombie feelingā away. I enjoy everything much more while high when without mj I just feel completely numb to pretty much everything incl. emotions.
Feel free to pm me about anything relatedā¦!
Smoked some weed last night and not much was doing until my g/f touched my penis (its been this way the last few times, my penis has to be touched for the surge of libido to come).
Sensitivity is still great when i smoke, feels like im being tickled when my penis is touched.
But last night something amazing happened, i had the absolute best orgasm i have ever had in my life, pre fin, post fin, whatever. Dont know why it happened it had been 4 days since i last smoked weed, but i did have sex the day before.
MJ is now a staple of my āpre-sexā arsenal. Before PFS i enjoyed sex better without it (was good enough and felt more in control), since PFS i feel it allows me to relax, lifts libido grealtly, enhances sensitivity/sensations, enhances erections and orgasmsā¦ The perfect sex drug (although PDE5i are still needed)
So whats the general consensus on marijuana?
I see people have mixed feeling about it here. Sometimes Iāll smoke weed and be the horniest lil fucker. Other times I smoke weed and i swear it causes me to crash hard for the days following.
So this is very difficult for me to post about, as it is very hard for me to explain and even comprehend at the moment. I was never a smoker before finasteride, but I just bought weed from a friend a couple weeks back. I smoked some about two weeks ago and it had very little effect on me. Perhaps it mellowed me out a bit, but it actually led to some of the worst sleep Iāve gotten in awhile. Well last night, I had just come home from a long night of work and decided to try it again. The same weedā¦ and the results were catastrophic and mind-altering. I am not exaggerating any of the following informationā¦ It immediately went to my head, and made me mellow for about 10 minutes. I was sitting outside and this mellowness turned into a very strange sensation in my penis that made me want to start touching it. It wasnāt necessarily pleasurable, just a bizarre pulsating sensation. No sooner had I gone inside (about 20 minutes later) did my world turn upside down. The anxiety that I used to get on finasteride has completely melted away in the year and some change that Iāve been off of it, but it came back full force and worse, with my heart rate through the roof, and I 100% convinced I was dying. I was staying at my parentsā house, so my instincts told me to wake my dad up. What should have been a slight high turned into a full on trip. There is no easy way for me to explain it, but as he tried to console me in my bed, I was telling him I was dying and that he had to tell the world what Propecia had done to me (he knows about the problems the drug has caused for me). I kept repeating that I had ended up in some alternate universe and that I was already dead. I even kept repeating the name of this website (which he already knows about), pleading him to ātell everyoneā. I couldnāt fall asleep, and my penis had shrunken and turned as numb as my first crash. I literally had no sensation in it at all and it had withered away and tightened so much that it felt like a little nub and so this elevated my anxiety even more. The next two hours that he spent in the room with me were horrifying. I was basically paralyzed and could not move. I could only lay there and witness myself die. I know this sounds ridiculous, but I was going into the light. Immediately I entered some limbo or afterlife where I began having these insane revelations about my lifeā¦ about friends and family in my life who were actually plotting behind my back (just ridiculous shit). There are plenty more details I could probably remember, but I am already going overboard. I wake up two hours later at 7:00AM and I can definitely feel myself coming down from an insane high. While most things are beginning to feel somewhat normal by this time, my penis has not recovered any sensitivity and is still roughly 1/3 the size of its flaccid size (which is already reduced because of PFS). Foolishly, I went and forced masturbation thinking my mind-bent state would bring me some unforeseen libido despite my penis looking almost non-existent. I also begin googling bad trips, and how long they can last. I found someone with a similar experience (in feeling like he was dying), and everyone who responded to his post assumed that his marijuana had somehow been laced with something very potent like PCP or LSD, as no high from weed should ever be that devastating. I lay in bed for about three hours until I hear my dad get up. I ask him what exactly I was saying earlier that morning, and he repeated, more or less, everything I had said. I apologized over and over, and he said he was incredibly worried about me. He smoked dope growing up and never experienced anything like that. Point is, today I am in a very strange mental state. Somewhat in disbelief, somewhat curious, but quite honestly I am disturbed. Things feel even more off today mentally. I feel less in touch with the world around me. My penis is as small and numb as it has ever been. Like I said, I havenāt seen it even remotely close to this state since my awful crash after ceasing finasteride use. A part of me is very worried that I have just set myself back permanentlyā¦ I am in a bad place. I am trying not to convince myself that I have fucked myself up, because I know it will be easier for me to believe it, but I read about people who have very bad trips from mind-altering chemicals and some of them face serious repercussions. But it was marijuana, and I have no fucking clue what happened to me!!! I had to post this experience as I saw nothing even close to my results in these posts. I am sorry for sounding so dramatic, but I am 100% serious about all of the feelings that this caused. If itās believable, I would say that period of two or so hours were worse than me discovering this website for the first time and coming to the realization that Propecia had completely fucked me up. I am also sorry for the overusage of "I"s at the beginning of sentences, but I was letting this out as a stream of consciousness.
Wow donkey boy, thatās an awful experience. Not that Iām an expert, but it sounds like you got something else mixed in that wasnāt/isnāt evenly distributed. Have you contacted your friend?
Lol, laced?
Iāve come down a lot closer to earth in the last 24 hours thankfully, and some of my penis size has returned (orā¦ to my PFS size anyways), but it is still rather numb at the moment. I havenāt contacted my friend. I spoke to him after I smoked the first time around and he was rather surprised when I told him it didnāt have much of an effect on me. I smoked with my brother the first time as well, and he didnāt notice anything but a pretty typical high. Iām just thinking weed triggers pretty awful anxiety in me and puts me in a very bad mental state (maybe even more so now due to PFS, if thatās possible?), but either way, I donāt have any of intention of trying it again. Not at the risk of ārelivingā my death. Going to attempt some sleep now, hopefully I feel a bit better in the morning. Thanks for the concern. Weāve got some good folks on this forum.
I would tend to think this experience is independent of pfs, that you would have had a similar experience if you never took finasteride, i have heard stories of people āflipping outā from weed.
My understanding is you never used pre fin, so i guess we will never now.
I still hope others give it a try as a few people have had good experiences, myself included, how ever i was an experienced pot head prior to Propecia.
None the less i hope you over come the set back.
I did claim to be a non-smoker before PFS, but that wasnāt entirely true. I had smoked a couple times at parties, but perhaps I never smoked enough for it to give me the full effects. I am not even necessarily discouraging people from trying. In fact, I still have no problem with weed, and Iām sure it can make a lot of things better for a lot of people, but I had to share my experience. Was also curious to know if anyone else had experienced something similar.
