Finasteride made me realize I don’t actually have depression

[Prøphet]

The emptiness, despair, pointlessness and fatigue I feel isn’t because my brain is fucked up, it’s because I live in a shitty situation with shitty circumstances. Now I know what it feels like to be chemically depressed and it’s 10x worse and way different. I honestly think that the majority of “depression” in our society is just the natural reaction to living a life you’re not satisfied with. The fix to unhappiness with your situation is to shape your life into something you’re happy about. But I also really understand now that some people are just fucked biochemically after feeling the real deal from fin

Finasteride doesn’t cause depression dumbass. But I agree most depression is people living the life they don’t want to live or being in a shitty situation.

Not for everyone. I just noticed personally that on oral I have a pattern where I get this unmistakeable feeling over time that I can’t shake and it’s completely unlike what I’ve felt throughout my whole life. I truly feel for niggas that are predisposed to feeling like shit because of a bad brain

So you’re saying fin is shit or what bro

 

[Prøphet]

Placebo

I’ve been off and on oral twice and it’s definitely not Jfl. Maybe your body is wired differently but I can’t find any other explanation for why I want to cry randomly or wake up every 3 hours whenever I get a couple weeks in, it’s like my sense of well-being and contentness is replaced by feeling on edge

For me it is, I’m still taking it because being bald at 18 would make my life objectively worse from the outside but now I know how it actually feels to be chemically fucked up.

If you seriously feel worse, take a break for a few months to get your mind clear. There’s no point in keeping your hair if your mind is not right and trust me I know how important hair is. Try to get on it later when you feel better. Normally it shouldn’t give you "chemical" depression but who knows

Already done that, tbh I’m just staying on to see if it goes away this time, I have retrograde and Norwood 2 so I can’t afford that much more time off of it

I also might order some pregnenolone to see if it helps

Why don’t you just take Dut it’s more effective no?

I used to say the same thing Jfl but Im done coping the fact is this shit is not good for my body and I 100% feel different when Im on it

 

[Prøphet]

Why don’t you just take Dut it’s more effective no?

I heard it has less sides but idk about that since it’s stronger it also stays in the body for months on end I’m not risking that tbh

 

[Oreone]

You'll get depressed when all your hair falls out

Dude no joke an hour ago I checked my hairline and I felt so frustrated when I saw how bad my thinning is I impulsively popped 1mg finasteride

I hate this shit either feel good mentally but be bald or destroy my health but have a chance at looking good

 

[EvilSatanArseRapist]

Agree.
Alot of people can't realistically change their situation tho.
The truth is extremely depressing if it doesn't favor you.

 

[unstable]

wasn't there a recent thread that said that dut has no s1de eff**s except for reducing the size of prostate.

you are a retard

 

[lepo2317]

I had depression my whole life and at the beggining of taking fin, I suddenly got that fucked up feeling like world will end and it's over for me. Sudden realization. It wasn't panic attack, just 10x my prefinasteride depression. It went away and never came back but it was scary as fuck ngl.

I'm taking fin for 10 years now it was at the beggining like 2-3 weeks in and lasted few days at most.

Good to know I hope that’s the same case for me

Btw what dose do you take daily 1mg? And how has your hair been being on fin for 10 years

1/4 of 5mg tablet so 1.25mg. I didn't get any regrowth but after 10 years my hair look same as 10 years ago. At 22 I was NW3, my twin brother started balding at 16 and now is fully bald while I kept my hair.
