You were on finasteride for 4 years with no side effects, then quit with no further problems (just out of fear). You went back on it again for a short time, then quit and are suddenly having all these side effects? It really doesnt make any physiological sense. As I mentioned in my response in your other post, its clear you have been reading horror stories about finasteride. Even the 'crash' as it's described, you seem to be expecting it to happen.

Did you recently stop taking it, like within the last couple days? For one, it takes about a week for your DHT levels to return to normal. As people describe this hormonal crash, it doesn't seem to take place until 3-4 weeks after stopping. And not to mention the fact that this is an extremely rare occurence.

I really think everything you are posting is just driven by fear. I recommend you stop reading all about this (i'm guessing you have been to propeciahelp) and just move on.

i really have no idea, but a week of finasteride at 0.5mg change all that. yeah i've been reading some stories about sides but since i've already take finasteride for some years and really had no problem i'm expecting no sides will happen. unfortunately this time finasteride did something horribly to me. on 3rd day i developed tinnitus, dizziness i did not connect it with finasteride i just continue then complete impotence on 7th day, i woke up with a shrivelled penis and it seems narrowed and light before pre finasteride. i can see more foreskin that scared me to death. i hope i will recover my penis size. i have slight morning wood today.
