As far as advice, I don’t have much since I’m suffering from debilitating brain fog much like you (since first using the death pill in late '05), but I encourage you to fit in as much active exercise as your stamina/energy levels will allow, since the endorphins you get from it will keep you clearer. Don’t exhaust yourself, but make time for daily cardio or anaerobic exercise. Even a 15 min walk a day will help.

I too have gone the supplement route, using much of what you have, to little to no effect (besides Yohimbe, which substantially elevated my mood and cognition for a brief day or 2 and hasn’t done since). Make sure you know where you are hormonally, as these symptoms can easily be from low adrenal or gonadal hormones. For many, the brain fog lifts the longer they’re off 5ARI’s (Mew can attest to this), so remain diligent and keep fighting.

Wish I had the answer or the cure, but that will have to come with first addressing how your body is functioning and what is imbalanced. Get that tested, and good luck.

Sorry could someone explain to me what is exactly “brain fog”?

As I read japanther story, I was able to remember how I started not to pass my exams in the Uni and how I didnt care about it a few months after starting with the pill. I just felt lazy and wanted to lay in my bed or in the swimming pool.
The fact is that I never related these facts to the pill as I didnt know about side effects of Finasteride.

Japanther, like 3pm I encourage you to do aerobic exercise like cycling or jogging, and if you can, do it at the begining of the day. I do a lot of sport and its true that it makes you feel better and more “active” (and not passive)
