It seems like yo-yo recoveries are how this goes. Hopefully time will bring more healing.
So I’ve been dealing with PFS for four months, what’s interesting I only used topical for three days prior pfs. Before used I tested my DHT which was 35, and three months later after pfs it was 10! So it’s possible finasteride kept it down for three months!? Now it’s back to 32?

It’s my understanding that Finasteride permanently binds to 5a-reductase. So the only way to get 5ar back is for our bodies to create more. I forget where I read the amount of time it takes to generate it, but I got the impression at the time that it’s more than three months before 5ar would be anywhere near the pre-fin level again. And then who knows how long it takes body tissues to respond to DHT being back. So, mainly, we’re healing from a huge, catastrophic injury. Things like that take time. And, some guys say they still see improvements a year off the drug or more. I’m at almost 5.5 months off fin. I’m trying to hold out for the year mark before making future plans. With that said, I haven’t had much of a recovery. But I am better now than I was at only 1 month off.
Did you have the same results?
I’ve read it’s about 18 months to build up the 5ar.

My Congratulations! Your two symptoms listed in the member template subsided in the absolutely normal 3 month period. This have been absolutely normal side-effects that get finasteride users. ( temporary ED, no noctural and spontaneous erections) Be lucky that you never developed pfs after playing Russian roulette for so long. As a severe patient I wish you a stunning sexual life and please never try Finasteride or Minoxidil again. A pfs life is no pony farm.

I mean yes sexual side effects are my only issue. But that does count as PFS. I believe everyone here has sexual side effects otherwise we wouldn’t be here

Quick update
Into month 4, so far mentally things have been getting good for the past few days. Better mood and motivation and energy is rising. Sleep is a whole lot better.
sexually: Still have ED, maybe morning wood(but I’m on Cialis 5mg) so I contribute to that, still numb, and low libido,
Physical: testlical pain seems to be going away, and headaches are getting better.
My hope with these gradually will continues and sexual stuff rise to
Scared to say it but I think I’m starting to vet better. Orgasm are feeling better, mood feeling better, energy getting better, the only thing of concern is ED with cialis its really not much of a issue just scared to get off it. I think it’s too soon for me to tell, I’ll probably stay in it for two more month’s to see how everything goes
If you’re even saying you’re getting better that means you are. Stay on this path and don’t do anything to fuck it up
