Im getting better

[Sonicblu650]

Its been a long 2 months and scary and very stressful at times, but i seem to either be adjusting to finasteride or my pelvic pain stems from stress and worry and ive done alot to relax that area and my thoughts. Ive taken a whole 1mg to 1.25mg every night this week and my symptoms Haven't worsened . I ve done this since Saturday evening. What ive learned from this ordeal is this; if you have side effects lowering the actual daily dose wont do alot for you (maybe for a very short time it will help) but same side effects return. Also taking a reduced dose and reducing days is detrimental to your hair. So far ive found taking your full dose, whether its 1mg or .5 or whatever you started with, and reducing the total number of days you take it per week . Definitely helps side effects and So far seems better for my hair at least. I think i will take a 1mg dose 4 or 5 times a week probably forever and that will have to be enough, and i believe it will

Good Luck to all with side effects!

Great. Does it still work if you do it only 4 times a week?

What were your sides?

my side effects aren't typical finasteride side effects ; they are, pelvic pain and lower back pain. It seems i developed hypotonic pelvic floor muscles(dr diagnosis) before i had an idea what was happening i got very nervous and extremely worried and the pains got worse and caused burning/ pain in urination, occasional rectal pain, pain/stinging after ejaculation. Im also on methadone (have been for many years now) and it has caused low testosterone. So i believe the methadone, finasteride, low testosterone, and anxiety all worked together one way or another to cause this. As far as hair; the month of experimenting with less days and lower doses Didn't cause shedding but the health of my hair went downhill pretty significantly. It was like it was weak and dehydrated almost like the life was just sucked out of it. I don't know how to describe it better than that. But after 5 straight days of full doses its going back to normal quickly. As far as 4-5 days per week dosing working long term i cant answer that yet, But i believe it will work just fine

My reputation is at -1 help me get rid of my red block. It makes me feel like im one those rude people who get banned lol

You say their not typical but scour Propeciahelp for a bit and see how often these symptoms come up

Pelvic/penis pain
Urinary hesitancy
Urinary contingency
Urinary frequency
Dribbling
Flaccid shrinkage

Then of course there's the potential for ED as well as low libido. In case you're wondering the low libido can be caused by tense muscles preventing androgens from flowing out of the balls to the brain.

I wager that about 10-25% of PFS victims have CPPS but assume it's the classic version of PFS which is very similar to post SSRI sexual dysfunction.

Anyway, I'm out. I was going to wait on my recovery to make a thread about what I did but this place stresses me out. If anyone on finasteride experiences any of those symptoms its probably a muscular problem.

Anyway. E-suicide commences... Now!

You talk about having finsteride SIDE EFFECTS?!?! Who the hell do you think you are?!?! I am reporting you. You should be banned. How dare you come onto a hair loss forum and seek legitimate advice for hair loss?!?! Here is what's happening

1) it's all in your head
2) you need to hit the gym BRAH
3) just rub one out, it's all in your head
4) Finasteride cannot cause side effects or hair loss
5) hit the gym brah and rub one out at the same time

Do this and I guarantee you'll feel better. It's a proven fact that finasteride works in 100% of people and those that THINK they experience side effects are delusional scum.

why do you seem so angry with me? Im figuring this out as i go. I have sh*t insurance and will have waited 6 weeks to finally get to see a urologist. (march 22) Ive been to my reg dr 5 times, read 3 different books about chronic pelvic pain and researched everything i can online. Why would you even bring up low libido and ed? I have neither at all and just yesterday my libido was so high i thought "what the hell, this is crazy" but its almost like you want me to have ed or something. Look dude, this affliction sucks bad and its very frustrating but we are here to help each other. I just dont understand

How about solutions since youve already been through this. What medications do they use, diazepam, a muscle relaxer? What type of stretches helped you, What type of exercise helps. What hurt your progress if anything. Things like this would have helped so much like 5-6 weeks ago. No one knows anything about this. Seriously i had to bring it up to my dr. They were trying to put me through a second round of antibiotics. I had to trust what i learned and how i felt and decide not to take a dr recommendation to take bactrim, after 10 days of cipro did nothing idk man. Im not mad at ya, just... Idk, i wish you luck, truly

I hope you were just trying to be a comedian.

Obviously. Unfortunately, that is how a lot of people actually think about finasteride (and the people the get side effects).
