Tremors / quivering

Symptoms Physical
#1

Hello folks,

I’m off fina since 4 months now and can’t get rid of tremors that came 1 week after Finasteride suspension. I believe this is a neurological problems, but has any of you experienced the same?

It affects a lot my hands (when I spread my hand I see my fingers quivering) and my legs (especially when I run down the stairs or a slope).

Is there any natural supplements that can help with tremors?

If any of you had the same problem at the suspension of the drug, did time resolve tremors / quivering for you (even after 1 year)?

Thanks!

I had this for about the first 6 months i quit. I even went to the doctor about it, he brushed it off. It did resolve itself.

vit D3 helps me.

#4

How much of vitd3 do u take?

I was prescribed vitamin D, not vitd3

#5

3000 to 4000 Vit D3. I think now only Vit D3 is available.

#6

That’s a very high amount of Vit D3. AFAIK the daily need for an adult is 400UI. Did you get tested for Vitamin D deficiency?

I think getting daily exposure to the sun light would be enough (Vitamin D is the only Vitamin that our body is able to produce from the sun light).

#7

I am vit D defficiency and the tremors should go away. I haven’t heard of someone who’ve had it forever at least.

#8

almost all of us are vit D deficient. yes I am.
you might need less. Start it and adjust your dose depending on how you feel.

Off the drug since 8 months now and tremors are still there.

Brain fog still present although a couple of weeks ago I had experienced no brain fog for a few days (it’s been great to speak quickly and have a sharp mind once again), but now it’s back.

Since those days I’ve also got a lot of strength back (arms, legs), but this is lasting. I’m feeling much stronger now and it’s been for a couple of weeks.

I also feel generally happier, although anxiety is still present and social tolerance is low (can’t get over small things and I generally get very stressed in holding up arguments).

I’ve been proposed by the neurologist to go for a spinal tap and check the levels of allopregnanolone and other neurosteroids, but I’m a bit afraid of it since it’s an invasive exam. Would you wait a bit more (perhaps another 6 months) and see if I also get better mentally or would you take the spinal tap now?

Since I do a lot of running (sport) I’m afraid that a spinal tap could possibly damage some nerves or leave me some small scar / impairment.

Advice is needed and appreciated based on your personal experience =)

I’ve re-done bloodwork and I was diagnosed low T free, low LH, low FSH, and very low in VitD. I’m now supplementing 10.000 UI of vitD per day since a couple of weeks but still have shaky hands. I’ve also lost a lot of muscle mass and was diagnosed with severe muscle wastage. I’m eating a lot of red meat and doing sports daily. It seems that I’ve gained a few kg’s back and some little muscles are starting to appear. How long do I usually need to wait before starting to see benefits from vitD? Mood seems to be improved somehow, before I was very depressed, now a tad better. Sometimes I’m pretty euphoric and feel very happy. Sunshine helps me a lot. Libido still low but erections are pretty good.
