sennex where are you located? in the US?
Im from Australia Martin 
Perhaps i could sue my doctor. I dont think he realised how bad propecia was to be honest though. Sueing him isn’t going to change the past unfortunately. My dad says that he was the one who pushed me to go onto propecia the most. Dad is bald and didn’t really want the same for me.
doesn’t matter the doctors should know better the effects of the drugs they are providing. Now to think about it taking fin is completely counter-intuitive to being a male… 
Did you grow much, when you took the drug? I think that fin causes hypopituitarism and as the growth hormone is the first one to break down in that case, we can’t ever reach our maximum estimated length. I took it also as a teenager…
I think we should check our IGF levels.
I do agree with you that taking Propecia is such a silly idea. A drug that takes away the most potent male androgen does not sound like a good idea. Im sure i grew quite fine. Im taller than both my parents and i do have a decent amount of muscle. If anything i would be more worried my brain didn’t develop quite right haha.
Your story was very inspirational and I am so happy for you that things are turning around for you. In a way we have had similar experiences. Both of us were on this stuff for a similar amount of time and both of us have been off for a similar amount of time and some of the steps you’ve made towards recovery mirror mine. I just started at a later age than you did. I read this with a lot of interest:
I had a similar experience. I was sitting on a couch in the basement at my parent’s house and something on TV struck me funny and I started laughing uncontrollably. I mean a side splitting, falling out of the seat, hitting the floor kind of laughter. The kind of laughing I haven’t experienced in many years. The whole morning I was smiling. Then by the afternoon I was a cold fish again. No feelings, no emotions, just nothing. I have been trying to figure out how I got to that point and how to recreate that feeling of joy and I can’t do it.
I guess my question for you is were you able to stay in that sweet spot where you could experience joy and pleasure, or was it fleeting and temporary?
Hey there. Sorry i took so long to respond, ive been busy over the xmas period. I was unable to stay in that sweet spot Joetz. It would be a great place to remain. Still, i think that even people with no problems can stay in a state of perpetual joy.
Ive noticed that my happiness at the moment depends on my uni assignments. When i have one due i become very stressed, not able to enjoy myself at all. As soon as its finished im very relieved. This is no real revelation, but i do wonder if my tolerance for stress has been reduced a bit.
On the positive side, i seem to be dreaming again and im still getting intermittent nocturnal and morning erections. This is comforting to me. My main concern at the moment is my willy feels disconnected / numb. With DHT being an androgen that develops this area i would not be suprised if it was linked. Im convinced some of the pain i cause myself is psycho-somatic. I think i have good reason to feel upset, but im trying to not worry about it. Im going to try returning to the gym once im less stressed.
Take care all, i hope 2010 is good for us all.
Ok heres my next update…
For the last 4 days i have felt positively great. I haven’t had a particular reason to feel happy, except for less shifts at work and no pressing assignments. I dont feel over the moon happy, just mentally solid. My anxiety levels are very low, i feel in control. Basically at the moment it feels like im normal
Im still dreaming lots. In fact its quite strange but the lions share of them have been nightmares. One day i jolted right out of bed and sat up, breathing heavily. I dreamt that this schizophrenic woman turned into this freaky lizard or something. Anyway, these dreams dont really scare me, on the contrary they make me feel alive. I was watching some college humour today and laughing quite a bit.
Morning Erections are still there every now and then (maybe 40% of the time). I might have noticed a pattern that they often occur when im lying on my front. I think its the rubbing on the bed during the night that triggers most of them. Psychogenic erections simply dont happen, but if i touch it the spine response makes it happen if you know what i mean. I seem to be developing a mustache, which is odd because that part of my facial hair hasn’t grown before at all.
Anyway im only really posting on the positive days, as is my nature. Currently all im doing to help myself is:
Minimal sugar - Drinking only water and no other types of drinks.
No caffine or Alcohol
Plenty of sleep
Make sure i do some walking, Gym hopefully once a week
Not looking at porn
See ya guys

ur original post read u felt primal when looking at an old man’s bald head?? what is that implying? primal feeling should be associated when looking at a female no?
Wow, what a stupid post…was that supposed to be funny rockin? He was obviously trying to say bald is nothing to be ashamed of and can be pretty badass looking. I would trade being bald with the condition I’m in in a heartbeat. You think a guy like Vin Diesel gives a rat’s ass about being bald?
Yeah Joetz got the picture. I think that when you are full of test and feeling better, you see the whole world from a different perspective, not just women. His head no longer took on an ugly appearance, but instead looked perfectly normal to me. Thats what i was reflecting.
calm down with the ‘stupid’ post comment. If he thinks an old bald man looks bad ass than say it…to link primal and beautiful together doesn’t make sense…unless the beautiful head made him feel primal (horny)…which suggests another problem.
hey, not trying to be funny. just read what i read and iterpreted as such.
Hey guys,
Not a great deal has changed with me since my last update. Its amazing, i can almost predict how my day will pan out depending upon how i feel in my first minute waking up. About 10 days ago i was at work, and things were pretty typical. I started to feel a burning sensation in my scalp, and this lasted for at least an hour. I thought to myself “burn baby burn” as i hoped it was the DHT rather than headlice.
Anyway i woke up the next morning and i felt different… Over the next 4-5 days it appears that i came online again. I felt clear and happy. Most important, i actually had a libido. It wasn’t totally raging, but it was probablly 70%. I found myself looking at body parts and enjoying it. Hell i even saw this older asian woman at the bus stop and i wanted to fuck her. She noticed too lol. 
I also thought to myself, “i recon i could have some good sex right now”. I tried to rub one out and lo and behold i had a very good erection and it felt great at the end.
Yep, this was the story of what seemed like an almost complete recovery… For one week. 
. It really is bitter sweet to have some change, and then to wake up the next day and feel numb and your balls actually sucking themselves up somewhere while you lie in bed. Anyway, i do see it as positive that i can feel like this, but i have an inkling that i still have a long journey to feeling like this permanently. My brain fog tended to fix itself in bursts, so im hoping that i might have bursts of sexual recovery too. Wish you all the best.
rockin your post was a bit unitelligent period.
Now let’s move on to something more constructive
It’s okay to feel off on some days. I don’t remember myself feeling constantly horny pre-finasteride. It always depended on the day.
Thanks dude thats definately something to bear in mind. Good to keep things in perspective.
How are you feeling now Sennex? I can’t believe you took this from 15 for 10 years!
Wow that is insane. I would sue the doctor who scripted this drug to a child.
