took it for just five days

So here’s the thing, I took it for only five days. I started noticing that it was making it harder to get an erection and I noticed that my urination was odd – difficulty stopping. So I stopped taking it, then thought about it and took one more half dose (cut the pill in half) the day after stopping it. Then all hell broke loose in my system. I had this systemwide electrical storm in my body that felt like a really really bad situation. My hands and legs started tingling, my head felt cloudy and that’s when it started to seemingly attack my groin area. My libido went kinda dead and so did my penis. My libido was shot. And my penis was completely limp. It’s been about three days now (and two really bad nights of fitful sleep) and I seem to be just as badly off, maybe worse. My penis is still pretty dead. My groin area still tingles on occasion, in a bad way, and my libido is still shot to hell.

Here’s my question, should I be a little worried or a lot worried. I didn’t take it all that long, does that matter? Shouldn’t it be out of my system already – half-life wise.

And other than exercise and a good diet, is there anything else I should be taking to restart my DHT. I feel like that’s what shut down, and frankly it’s making my life kinda shitty. Not suicidal or anything, but this is a really bad situation.

Thanks

Worrying will do you no real good, but as far as your situation goes you are still in the early stages and are expected to recover in about a month’s time fully. Length of usage tends to not show any distinct significances; some have used it while and have long-term issues, some - like me - took it hardly one week.

I would avoid reading the forum and remain active, because there aren’t any major breakthroughs here that will make your recovery more successful. Anxiety is a definite side effect of finasteride so try to avoid feeding your fears and stay physically active. That’s the best I can answer your questions.

i would suggest you to take some testosterone natural booster …
