Struggling with PFS (8 years taking propecia)

Here’s to 3 years of PFS! The only change is I started Wellbutrin two months ago and have noticed mild improvement such as taking things less personal, return of emotions on occasions, slower bowel movements, and less depressive feelings. It’s starting to lose its motivational effect (150 MG XL) but that’s okay. I’ve lost about 17 pounds since watching calorie intake since August and some of my brown skin blotches have started to fade away. Still no major change to libido, I get about 5-7 hours of sleep (maybe 3 max if stressed and with recent exercise), muscle twitching, and lack of desire to exercise because my muscles always feel weird afterwards. I also did hormonal tests and all were in the lower-normal levels. My hair is falling out but unsure if it’s from Wellbutrin. Here’s to hoping that this year is better then last!

For me it’s 2 years of PAS, I have finally noticed some improvement in the end of December and hope it’ll last. So I do hope this year is gonna be better indeed. I wish you all the best and sooner improvement!

Wow can’t believe it’s been over 2 years since my last post. As the post stated, I’ve had PFS since 2018 and started Wellbutrin in the fall of 2021 and have been on it since. My quality of life has improved greatly however I still do have mini crashes from time to time. When I think back to 2018, it was an absolute nightmare but it does get better with time…it’s really in small increments of improvement but when I compare it to my original post, it has improved overall but I’m still not 100% and am unsure if I’ll ever be. I will say however; when I look at my old posts, I can see how much has changed with my attitude and quality of life–I was in such a bad bad spot during that time.

That’s amazing! Glad to hear you’re in a better spot, brother. If you had to guess where you tend to hover, as a rough percentage, what would it be?
