Recovery. Mental and sexual

Hello everybody. Long time no see.

Back in january, like some of you know, i stopped finasteriade. Afterwards i had the worst time of my life.

I could not focus. My master thesis stopped. I was fired. Did not leave my bed after for a few months. Gain 15 kilos. Major depression.

My dick was not working. Was super limp. Having sex was not good. I could’t do it, basicly.

My mind was all mess up. I had homosexual thougts all day long, and i’m not gay.

So, back in july i went to a shrink. She was the only one that beleived PFS. I was releived.

Since then, i’m felling much better. I am medicated. My dick is working. Sometimes i have morning wood. My life is getting back.

I have no way to tell why i recovered. I’m just telling you this in order for you to mantain some sorta of faith.

If you need to speak to someone, please, use this topic. i will try to, at least, listening to you. I now that what i wanted when i was at my worst.

Thank you soo much!

That sounds very inspiring.
Do you think it was a slow natural recovery? Do you think PFS could be a psychological thing? On what medication are you now?
Did you recover in “waves”? Are your emotions and your joy back to normal?

I’m glad to hear you’re better. Curious what medication you were prescribed, and what tests, if any, you may have taken.

One question though…Did you have genital numbness???

#5

I did, for a while. Especially when I was trying to get a erection.

I’m on a antidepressive called zorix and a antipsicothic called socian. I did many hormonal tests and they all got back normal. The Testoterone was on the low side of things, but still around normal.

I dont think its only psychological. There is tons of guys out here that can tell you that. Besided that, what i felt was really not normal.
My emotions are back on track. Can’t cry, tho.
I did recover in waves. The first few months were really difficult. After the summer i started to feel a lot better. Especially after i got a doctor that actually beleive in me.

It’s really nice to hear about your stable recovery. Although my problem is still very serious, it has also made very obvious progress compared with the previous three months. I also have weak Dick, moderate brain fog, etc. weight loss is very important. I hope you can recover as soon as possible. Remember to come back and post and give us some hope in the dungeon.
