OK, I have been taking propecia since 2006. This was around the time I quit psychiatric meds. I have suffered depression and anxiety since the age of 15 (I’m 29 now).
Here is the thing; since I no longer take psych meds I am not sure if I can attribute my current state of depression, severe anxiety, which BTW is worse than it ever has been in my life, to this drug. Finding this forum really surprised me and made me think, WTF?!?!?! I heard fin can be “linked to depression” but that’s about it. I am shocked that so many of you have problems with this drug, but I honestly can’t tell since I’ve always had these symptoms.
As far as erectile dysfunction, not at all, but the psych meds WERE horrible for that. I have a little gyno, and am very irritable, but again, I don’t know if I can attribute this to fin.
So I’m not sure what to do.
Also, why be so anal about not letting ppl who ponder quitting on the forum? The admin is obviously anti-fin, so why not have a section for those considering and haven’t been exposed to this information?
I’m thinking of quitting the drug for a while to see what happens. It’s possible a lot of you have a severe case of vaginitis. Try taking paxil and see if you can get a hard on. I don’t believe all of the problems that you guys experience can be attributed to fin but I’ll give it a whirl. I’m sick of paying for it, and I guess a full head of hair isn’t worth the suffering.
