What do you think you might be on to?

I don’t see anything that particulary stands out among your results, you have some of the typical hormonal issues many of us here share. I see you have over the top cortisol. So do I, well above range but many others here do as well.

#3

S FREE T4 19.4 (PMOL/L (11.0 - 21.0)
S FREE T3 5.0 (PMOL/L (3.2 -6.4)
S TSH 1.73 (BEFORE PROPECIA) 1.31 (2 DAYS AFTER STOPPING) mu/L (0.5 - 5.0)

Symptoms.

Axiety , depression. Don’t feel myself.
Penis - Numbness, Sex drive is ok, appears smaller, watery less semen, can barely rarely get semi - erections though they barely last and not the same girth and length. Veins stand out more on left and right side of penis.

THE FUCK CAN THIS HAPPEN AFTER TAKING TWO TABLETS.

Shed some Light if you can folks been off for 15 days.

Hey broken pecker,

I’ve halved my coritsol levels. from 385 to 134. Though i can imagine there increased cause this shit is driving me to insanity.
Testosterone levels progressively decreasing(Stress, Propecia… I dont know), LOW PSA? anything to do with shrinking prostate?
Liver tested in weird range…I don’t know. Increase in SHBG? lowered Thyroid stimulating hormone.

What problem do i have? Thyroid, Hypogonadism, prostate…fml.

This drug is fucked. Get turned on by my girlfriend but can’t work down there. Slowly loosing hope! Finding a cure has become an obsession.

Yeah I know, I was too. Best “cure” for you at the moment isvto rest and relax. Because we don’t have any sure thing cure yet, and the top endocrinologists in the world can’t explain what is wrong with us.

But trust me, when I say that there are others who crashed even worse. Yea the whole thing is INSANE no doubt. Took me along time just to wrap my head around the whole thing and a lot of people will think your crazy if you tell them… even when confronted with evidence.

If you haven’t already, you should tell your girlfriend. Its tough enough to go through alone and most of us on here tend to improve over time. From what I’ve seen the worse your crash is, the less improvement you see overtime. But almost everyone has at least a little improvement especially in some of the mental side effects.

Its good that your cortisol adjusted so quickly. I had mine tested 4 times 3 different ways and everytime it has been off the charts high and I haven’t taken a pill of finasteride since December 2010.

My crash was really bad, I had the anxiety and panic attacks and all that, insomnia, depression…

How is your sleep btw? I still don’t sleep normal which is why you see me posting here at various different times… but I can still manage to get 6-8 hours sometimes… big improvement from last year when 3-4 hours was a struggle.

I’m dreaming though keep waking up every couple of hours feeling irritable . Girlfriend said I don’t snore anymore weird. I’ve explained to her but it’s hard to be happy and
Not negative around her, she’s amazing and I feel I’m loosing hope. My family don’t really understand either though the girlfriend is supportive. I’ve just lost motivation I know I’ll stop venting. Just want to know if anyone’s had a recovery from the symptoms below. Cheers for responding mate.

#7

Yes some people have recovered. Some with time, some with drugs and time. No real consistency there either, the people who claimed to be recovered seem to have recovered by all different meds…

Some people come here for a few weeks freaking out like you kind of are now and then calm down in a month or two as they recover. Then they stop posting and are never heard from again, except the handful who relapse…

If 3-8 months go by and you haven’t seen much improvement then you might be stuck with it… at least until we can figure something out. Which I hope and pray will be in the next year or two.

PS: At least your balls haven’t shrunk… that side effect is horrible.

#8

They have shrunk and So has Johnson. My question is I stopped because I got sides from 2 tablets, side effects started to go then came back, has anyone recovered from that? Sorry for being over dramatic and I appreciate your replies.

#9

Like I said yes some people have.
