Hey there,
Im off Propecia 9 days now. Was taking 0.25 to 0.33 mg Propecia about 5 or 6 days a week. Quit due to Brain Fog & noticed Depression. I had a bad turn last week after drinking heavily. Anyway 9 days off Propecia & havent drank for a week. Been feeling down & nervous all week & missed a few days of work. Mood swings & cant stop worrying about what I may have done to my body with this stuff etc. Had an Anxiety attack last night but calmed down after a while & then felt pretty good. What i want to know is, basically my Testosterone & DHT levels should be back to normal now right? What about Estrogen etc? Should i still be feeling moody? Have any of you here any experiences you can share after stopping finasteride good or bad? Please tell me this will all even out & that long term Deoression will not happen? I can still get erections & have a bit of morning wood although not as intense as before but somethings there alright & my loads are still thick. Im eating healthily & exercising so i can do everything that i can to move away from this period. Im getting married in a month & dont want to be a vegetable mentally on the day. I have a similar thread below but as many things on here the lower they go the more they are ignored. Im just scared that my hormones are so screwed that they are causing me mental problems.
Thanks in advance.

Well no-one can really say for sure, just as you can't really know if finasteride actually caused your depression. It could be entirely in your head (sorry I know no-one likes being told that).

Just give it some time, try and get lots of exercise. That will help your mood.
