Hey joey what is your current dosage to avoid gyno? I am planning on restarting at 0,25 mg daily

Didn't you only get gyno on 5mg? I take 1mg 3-4x a week no gyno signs ever since I lost some weight after my 1st run on propecia.

If you got gyno from 5mg I doubt 1mg will cause it to reoccur, that is only if you ONLY had gyno after taking the 5mg

This thread needs to stop turning into a debate. I am in the same boat as mike took the damn pill because I was in my 20's and started losing my hair I was given it from a dermatologist like it was absolutely nothing I was told only 3% of males get ED. I thought "what the heck if I get ED I could reverse it" about a month into the drug I started experiencing memory loss, fatigue, and my anxiety was through the roof I had no idea what was happening to me because I was not warned about these other side effects. I searched online my symptoms and BAM thousands of men taking propecia with the same damn side effects as me all looking for help. Lucky you if you do not have sides but I would advise you to get off this drug if you don't want to then don't it's as easy as that. I'm going on 8 weeks off the drug and I am still experiencing bad mental side effects. If anyone could offer help or suggest ideas to help me or mike or anyone else out that's needs it feel free it would be greatly appreciated

this drug will always be hotly debated. like I said before until you experience the awful side effects it can cause you everyone else SIMPLY CANNOT APPRECIATE WHAT YOUR GOING THROUGH.

think of it as balding itself. before we all started balding, hair loss from our point of view was never a big deal. we never even thought about it. those balding guys in the street were just other people. i had no sympathy for them. i didn't feel their pain. its only when it started happening to me that i could feel how f*****g brutal it was. it was horrible. same applies here with finasteride.

this drug has fucked up lots of people. and the side effect are real. i had all of them. there wouldn't be forums like propeciahelp and solvepfs if they weren't. i don't truly understand the science of all this so im hesitate to give out advice. but if anyone if suffering from sides after quitting the drug i would look up cdnuts protocol and follow it. you might not need the dht prohormones. but you might do, so do your research.

eat heathly, lift weights, rotate testosterone boosting herbs and you should get better.

and ignore all the guys who say your crazy. they say it because they don't understand, they aren't going through it. you guys aren't going to get much sympathy from this website. it isn't propeciahelp 2. its just a normal hairloss website. go join solvepfs and talk to the guys there. they don't seem to be having much luck in getting themselves better so i wouldn't waste your time trying out their different theories. i would try cdnuts first. but they are nice guys who are very sympathetic. guys you can talk to about this. guys who are experiencing the same sh*t as you

My God, at the misinformation thrown around in this topic.

OP, your life isn't over. There's a way to get back where you wanna get and sunchyme1 posted about it already. I've been there, and I'm better. You can be too.

Please tell me exactly what you did. Did you fast for a week? CDNUTS protocol?

I am desperate...

heres the protocol from propeciahelp

http://propeciahelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=8271&sid=68ca6fe1fc60454f7730d242c81dc81f

it may have changed a bit im not sure. but that's basically it. I think cdnuts is meant to have a website up soon posting his protocol. I will find out actually

look man I know its scary going through all this sh*t. thousands of others have too. it took me a while to understand what the f*** was going on and how best to help myself. But you gotta calm down and know there is a way out. At least thats what the guys on swolesouce believe and I believe them. There are too many people getting better over there for it to be a coincidence

I'ld like to give my two cents on this, I'm still experiencing sides from Propecia 3 months out, namely numbness in genital area, I used for less than a week, I have had very slight improvements which give me hope but I'm accepting I could be in for a long ride until I'm back to normal.

My advice to anyone experiencing sides is to stay away from Propecia Help especially in the early stages as you will do damage to yourself mentally and it will hinder your recovery, you may start believing everything and believing everything is permanent which in fact it is not given the many recoveries I have read but they don't seem to be highlighted on the site rather the doomsday scenarios and really just people's opinions. They are good people on the forum who like myself are genuinely suffering and desperate for answers however the more you focus on the random theories and the permanence THEORY your mind will latch on to it and change how you think giving into the thought that you are permanently damaged thus hampering any chance of a normal existence and recovery, I myself wish I had done this but I wallowed in the forum after I got the sides and the stories drove me close to the brink and I genuinely believe I would mentally be in a better position than I am now if I did not read all I did, its hard to erase the horror theories. A lot of the theories are presented as fact but in reality that is not true so wish I knew that at the beginning.

I found a couple of other sites particularly swole source or solve PFS which are far more positive, one guy emailed me a link with over 75 recovery stories and I have found even more from my random browsing, the reality is the PFS doctors do not know that PFS is permanent it's just their opinion. We are all in the dark on this. The Harvard study has confused us even further.

If you are suicidal seek counselling, stay away from forums and look at the cd nuts protocol if you are ready to get on the road to recovery. Many have had big improvements from this.

I do believe Propecia is lethal to some people the majority it is not, I curse the day I took it and I am angry with hair loss Doctor who prescribed it as he glossed over talk of sides as if no big deal you'll be fine if you come off it after a few weeks, and dismissed online chatter as rubbish, a clueless moron, interestingly my gut didn't trust him at the time, should have listened, really just saw me as a dollar bill and when you go back and say hey can you help me it's like sorry dude this can happen I have no advice to offer maybe your depressed? I laughed in his face and told him you guys really need to take a hard look in the mirror your ethics/knowledge/compassion are non existent to say before I take it no it doesn't happen and then when it does sorry yes it can happen.

But it was my choice and now I am paying the price for vanity. I'm usually a very smart solid person who doesn't take stupid risks but hey losing hair makes us desperate.

If I could go back three months I would shave it off but that chance is gone for me. The hardest part of taking Propecia is not knowing who will get the sides, absolutely nobody knows. My theory is that the focus of what Propecia does to us should be focused on the brain rather than the body. One interesting point, I lost morning wood for weeks after Propecia when eventually I reached a calmer place morning wood returned everyday then I dipped again after anxiety and distressing about numbness and bye bye morning wood.

Again if you experience sides and must google visit swole source and don't believe it's all permanent otherwise nobody would have ever recovered.

I wish you well, remember do not believe that it is permanent

Good luck on your recovery.

Hi Ahmed, yes I got blood tests done three weeks ago all came back in range, test in range etc, I really think that's it's something in the brain that the drug messes with for some people. I took for four days, woke up on morning of fifth with numbness as in if I rub finger along penis shaft top or bottom my penis does not sense that it is being touched, It can happen apparently from reading many other similar stories, strange thing is on the very odd occasion if I do rub finger gently on shaft underneath it does sense touch it then dissapears and can't feel it so tells me things aren't totally severed as I initially was led to believe.
