| 1 | Hair Loss | Persistent cognitive dysfunction and loss of intellect/wit. Persistent anhedonia (lack of pleasure or reward). Persistent lack of emotion. Persistent vision changes. Persistent soft tissue wasting and skin issues. Persistent joint discomfort. Persistent prickly pain in penis and lack of pleasure with orgasm. Persistent erectile quality issues. Persistent insomnia and unrefreshing sleep. Persistently shrunken testicles. | I took finasteride for maybe a week. I developed a spacey feeling, sleep issues and weak/constricted erections a few days in. I then developed nonstop burning in the penis. Consequently, I decided to discontinue the drug. Everything then became a hellish nightmare. I crashed insanely hard. Total lack of sleep for two weeks to the point I went psychotic and had to go to a psych ward where they were still unable to get me to sleep. My penis contracted into my body as if I was freezing cold and temporarily turned an uncharacteristically dark color. I lost 15-20 pounds in the first few days. Constantly had to urinate. Had very oily stools. My skin during those two weeks was bone dry and I was unable to sweat. The burning penis pain also lasted throughout this entire 'crash' period. Some of these more extreme symptoms subsided or improved, but you can see the list of issues that have lasted 4+ months after quitting above. Please reconsider before rolling the dice. We currently have no way to know who will respond normally and who will respond like I have to this substance. | M | 30 | 0.5mg 1X D | 2/5/2024 | |
