Post finasteride Syndrome

Just a thought I had the other day. Can anyone source a thread on basically any hair loss forum where someone talks about taking finasteride. Decides to take finasteride. And then gets post Finasteride Syndrome? It seems to me that every person I have ever heard talk about it is talking about it retroactively. I believe there are side effects. I just find it strange that I cant seem to find one instance where a healthy normal guy, talk about his regime, decides to add Finasteride, and then develops PFS.

Pretty sure post-Finasteride syndrome only happens after you've stopped taking finasteride, (hence the word "post") due to your endocrine system "crashing".

From what I've read those who experience the crash are those that have the dreaded sides while taking the drug though e.g. low libido, ED, brain fog, fatigue etc

Worst thing i've ever experienced in my LIFE. I had really low testosterone after stopping it. The symptoms are real and unlucky for the few who experience it. Numb junk for over 2 months.
