Just start with a REALLY REALLY small dose

0.25mg 3 times a week for a few weeks

Then work up gradually to 1mg 3 times a week. That's all you need

Are you on fin? What’s your dose?

 

[Deleted member 4797]

NO.

Permanent PFS is a real possibility, which is infinitely worse than being bald (yes, Im dead serious, speaking from experience of PFS).

 

[Deleted member 4044]

Are you on fin? What’s your dose?

No I'm not but I have done a good amount of research the last few months

Watch The Hair Loss Show on Youtube. The best show about Fin.

They say you only need 1mg 3 times a week

So you took finasteride?

That's way too much. You need very little fin, you very quickly run into diminishing returns. This is way too much, it won't do you any good.

 

[Deleted member 4797]

So you took finasteride?

Yes for a month 1 year ago, still have PFS. Took .5mg daily

What are your symptoms? You genuinely wouldn’t recommend finasteride? Not even trying it out just like you did?

soft dick even with max erection, depressive and cant feel positive emotions (I have rotted before having PFS and enjoyed my copes like video games or music, now nothing is positive).

[Deleted member 4797]

No, I've taken ashwagandha which helps

 

[Deleted member 4464]

how are we supposed to know in some people creates a hormonal inbalance I think you better get a bloodwork done before taking it

 

[DrunkenSailor]

Go to a doctor first

Sounds like depression not PFS.

What are the differences specifically?

Im saying I think you have depression and are mistaking it as PFS. Everything you said: soft dick, depressiveness, numbness are all symptoms of depression. You said you had it before as well in a light form.

Before I was depressed but happy if that makes sense at all. My brain managed to make itself content despite being lazy tired lethargic hopeless etc.. In spite of all that, I could enjoy moments, be present and therefore relatively happy during the day.

Now whats happened is like a complete flatline, I consider it lucky if I get just a few happy moments a day, just a few laughs, few hits of dopamine, its like my brain has been completely dulled. The negative emotions, which of course were also felt before Finasteride, have been amplified too. They last longer, and hit harder.

If I went on nofap pre-Finasteride, there would be morning erections and sex all over my mind after just 2 days of nofap. Now when I go on nofap, day 7 hardly feels different from day 1, both in levels of energy and horniness.

For me the morning would is the most solid proof that something has definitely changed, because there is no chance for any placebo affect when your just waking up.

I think you have depression or low T. Since these things were there for you even before taking fin. And after taking it your depression may have worsened. Have you spoke to a doctor about this? And if so, what did they say?

Depression aside, the horniness was high pre-fin and the dopamine was high pre-fin.

I haven't spoken to a doctor no. People have said that I should a lot, and they're right, I simply haven't had time because I had bimax in December, now that COVID's hit my family want me to stay inside as much as possible lol. Will do when I get the chance though for sure.

I’m gonna have to say and agree with the majority of the people on here that you have depression. Have you tried doing anything instead of sitting around to boost your mood and boost natural testosterone? Do you have a job you work for that you enjoy? Do you have a decent social group? I think it’s important to ask yourself this before thinking you have PFS

You should check out your T levels and do a general bloodwork at an endo, if everything is alright it may be depression.

I'm not denying that I have depression, but I also did pre-fin. The lifestyle has been identical to pre-fin as well (depressive rotting low activity lifestyle).

So the depression and bad lifestyle still cant explain the sudden disappearance of dopamine spikes throughout the day, and the horniness falling dramatically. All lifestyle factors even if they're bad for T levels, are still identical to pre-fin, so from that we cant blame the lifestyle can we?

 

[Butthurt Dweller]

I take 1mg a day, mainly because I am impulsive and don't care about the consequences of my actions.

Well yeah I agree that you can’t 100% blame the lifestyle but dopamine receptors can get fried permanently to the point where nothing stimulates you anymore as well. Which then causes depression, which then can waterfall into having low libido. I know because I’ve been there where nothing stimulates you anymore and even looking at super hot girls doesn’t do anything for you

Thats a true point but I would also say doesn't apply to me, because I'd been rotting more than 5 years pre-fin. So for the dopamine receptors to suddenly nosedive just after I take fin, when they'd survived 5+ years of rotting just fine wouldn't make sense also.

This drug affect all of us differently.

I think I am the only person with remarkable improved mood and mental health thanks to the use of anti androgen drugs. My anxiety has been reduced so much and I'm so chill and assertive. For once I am able to socialize...

Another user says he's even more horny but in my case I have zero urge for sex and cooming (take into account I used to do it even more than 10 times in one day, so shit is really serious jfl).
I don't mind it though. In the future I can adjust my treatment, for now I enjoy it...
