@@adamcruz3012 yes man. It’s awful. The worst experience I’ve been through bar none. Don’t risk it, wear a wig if you wanna keep your hair, but don’t mess with your internal hormones, it’s not worth it
Thanks for sharing your story! Very brave of you. I hope that you can inspire other men to talk more openly about the lives this drug had ruined. You got this!
My heart goes out to you man. I’m a 27 year old Australian male and I know exactly how you’re feeling. This drug fucking sucks. Thanks for speaking out dude, you’re doing good things.
I took it for a week and it made me feel weird mentally and foggy by the end of the first week. I got heart palpitations and couldn't sleep well for days. Done with it, going in the garbage. I was lucky. Don't give up Damon. You will recover over time and your story is helping many already here.
@@gaba2780 There are no predisposed to finasteride syndrome, we are predisposed to gaba neurotransmitter malfunctioning , to put it simple we where already anxious in a way above average people , and if finasteride make a normal mind to get anxiety imagine what can do to people that they are already anxious. Finasteride break havoc on gaba and a lot of others neurotransmitter systems. I am a victim for many years. Don't play Russian roulette with your brains.
Thank you Damon for your courage and for speaking out about this topic. You are not alone. My GP told me the same thing that you could just stop taking the drug and the adverse effects, if any, would subside, but they never went away. I suffer from sexual side effects ever since I took finasteride for 1 month in 2019. I can't imagine what you have been going through. Take good care of yourself and I have tremendous respect for how brave you are.
I will pray for you brother, i hope everyone struggling with drug induced diseases/illnesses recover fully, I really do hope. Im again sorry this happened to you brother.
What people fail to realize is that stories like Damon (and myself and other commenters here) are very common. There have to be millions (at the very least hundreds of thousands) of men with lesser symptoms who stay in the closet about it. Don't conclude from our silence that you can safely take this drug. -- Note to Damon you're a very courageous guy for speaking up. I don't have the balls to go on camera so I just leave comments online. What's happened to us is tragic, but let it be fuel to make the most out of this life that fell into our lap, find meaning in saving others, etc. Sending karma your way!
Did you even watch the video? Anyway, take a break at least until symptoms subside. Else they may become permanent, as happened to me. Meanwhile, watch the video.
I hear you on the hair. But one day you'll accept and life will be beautiful again. More importantly, let's hope your symptoms go away. They should, but it can sometimes take many months. After that you could give topical a shot (or minoxidil) but the risk is that, as happened to me, you won't notice the finasteride changes until long after they have become permanent.
I think opening up and sharing your story is admirable Damon.. I cannot relate to the PFS symptoms myself but, think the path you’re on with trying to inform and share your experience to the public is a good one. Keep fighting brother
We’re all in this together man. I developed PFS after a week. Hopefully we can all be cured together, if not from the sexual then at least the neurological.
@@astongrad930 what are some Of the mental sides? I been on it for about 2 years and life sucks. I’m finding it really hard to make any genuine connections with people. I try to chalk it up to my life situation isn’t the best break up last year , lost my son . . Childhood trauma. I have a non existent relationship with my mother or father. They all scape goat me.

@@Thehappymasksalesman thanks man I have actually started seeing a therapist about a month ago. I’m hoping to get a diagnosis soon. I do believe it is just my current situation that became more apparent ..
@@howto-wiki8291 what you’re experiencing sounds an awful lot like anhedonia and blunted emotions which is very common in PFS. Look into it a lot of people are experiencing the same thing after quitting
Recovery is possible. Start with your mindset. Forget your life before. It's gone... this is your new normal. Thats the mindset you need to have . It won't start getting better until you change your perspective on life .
I took it for 6 months and i felt like i was on steroids. I got full of rage and wanted to physically hurt people that did me wrong in the past. This is coming from a devout reasonable Christian. After a year of non-use i still battle w/ lingering feelings of hate/rage attacks and ruminating thoughts. My attention span is terrible because of these thoughts and it affects my studying and relationships, its bad enough I had ADD in the past. I pray God everyday to bring me back to the guy that had nothing but love and patience and to rid of these hateful thoughts/emotions. Thanks for sharing your story, we are not alone in this battle.
I started finasteride 2 months ago. I work as a consultant and used to be able to work 60 + hours a week. Since taking finasteride, I struggle focusing and am feeling tired all the time. Nothing excites me anymore and feel like I don't have a goal in life anymore. This is causing me to perform bad at work. I'm thinking about quitting finasteride, but want to stay on to see if I get some of my hair back.
Just stop it please before it gets too late. Took it for 6months all of a sudden my entire body crashed. Its not worth it. Been off the drug for more than 2 years now and it slowly gets worse every time
@@tired_of_everything0I wish people replied more on TH-cam. I know YT deletes comments. But wished everyone replied more. I do know a protoncall for brainfog but its a bit dangerous.
I feel for you, been a sufferer since 21 and now a decade on and can resonate with all your side effects. Although still not optimum, the mental side and physical effects have subsided to some extent. Hope that gives you hope and thanks for sharing your story. If it prevents one person from ruining their lives and getting this poison recalled it will be more than worth it
Been taking for months at 19-20yrs old. Erections are weaker but that’s all. Throwing this shit poison away now. I must be lucky that my side effects are nowhere near as serious as a lot of others. Thanks for your comment
@@derrick2251 for some it starts like that, then low libido, water and rejuced ejaculate, numb penis and muted or non existant orgasm.

Very brave of you to do this Damon! It requires a lot of strength and courage to handle your situation. You're a great person for what you're doing and I can't express how deeply I appreciate to hear your experience. Never give up, your body is a great instrument and might surprise you at some point in the future. It is programmed to return to its normal state. Nobody has lived long enough to see if it stays like this forever.
Quick question for those of us who are suffering from PFS… While there is no known treatment for PFS, are there any promising treatments on the horizon? I’m obviously hoping so… Thanks to all of you men for your vulnerability, courage, and perseverance…I hope and pray that all of us will find ways to reclaim our lives.. 🤲 Stay hopeful, as there may be answers to our questions and healing for our suffering sooner than later…
@@Kulikov__ yet*. Dont be negative, i know you are suffering for a long time, but new people with PFS read and watch this also. Be positive, cure will be here.
This might be strange, but for me going to the tanning salon during the winter helped alot. I had severe side effects back in 2018 that persisted for 1,5 years. I believe im fully recovered now, luckily. It might be the case that vitamine D is important for recovery, or I just naturally recovered with time. I had both physical and cognitive side effects, from loss of libido, severe brain fog, depression, lack of focus, loss of sensation in the tip of the dick, no morning wood, no arousal when I would be able to come. I wish everybody that is going trough this a lot of courage and strength, my story definitely shows that full recovery is possible. Most importantly don't give up, you are not alone!
Thank you for speaking out! I'm so sorry this happened to you. I'm in the same boat. I've had PFS for over 10 years. The cognitive side effects and the personality changes are the worst.
It’s messed up that the doctors act like it’s completely safe. The incidence of these reactions could be less than the amount of people involved in the studies/trials. There’s too many stories of men who had these same exact reactions and and had never even heard of PFS.
My brother stick in there, we’re going through this with you as well. Stay as strong as you can, and don’t stop fighting. Don’t lose hope, you will get over this and you’ll be telling that story one day as well. Believe it, thank you for your courage and sharing your story ❤️❤️❤️
@Happy Ri I dont dictate you anything. I 've just asked why are you here and why are you so interested in this topic? I wonder why are you defending finasteride so desperately
@Happy Ri there are plenty of people who got fucked by just 1 pill. I guess 1 pill is enough to inginite the whatever chain reaction that causes pfs that we don’y know about yet. 1 pill/shot of any medicine is substantial enough to cause side effects. He took 1 pill, got side effects, then stopped taking it, but the sides stayed and got worse. What’s so hard to understand? You don’t need to take fin for years to develop pfs.
@Happy Ri To be clear, I felt cognitively different by the same evening (around 8 or so hours after taking the pill.) I felt something was off, just didn't feel like myself. Over the next few days it gradually got worse; it was substantial enough to where I never took another pill. Otherwise I would've kept taking it. By about 3 days after taking the drug I felt completely dissociated from everything around me, like I was dreaming. It all got worse from there physically, mentally, etc. It peaked at around a year and a half after taking that pill, where things kind of stagnated. I'm not going to spend too much time replying to comments like yours because it's quite simple. If you don't have or never had PFS, you can't relate to it. All I can do is try and share my experience and discourage anybody from ever taking Finasteride.
I have read many online male health forums for about 10 years now, and there’s so many devastating stories regarding PFS, with much in common. Verified doctors speak out against Propecia use. I believe it was Dr John Crisler that said he had grown men crying their eyes out at appointments begging for help from PFS side effects.
Thank you so much for speaking about this devastating condition in public Damon! Very brave, you have my full respect! I suffer from PSSD and have similar symptoms. Let's hope, that we will get cured in the future!
It hurts listening to Damon because I know exactly how it feels. I was in the same state after the crash...the desperation, the inability to focus, slurred speach, akward gestures and eye movements...always on the verge of a panic attack. Full blown PFS is pure hell but luckily I improved after the two year mark. What about you Damon ? Please give us an update.
Thank you bro I’m a suffer I’m four months off this poisoning drug. The brain fog is debilitating as well as the sexual side affects. I’m hoping I’m going to heal..I’m really hoping..I’m in the process of trying to heal and sorting medical advice.
I’m so sorry that you experienced this. I initially took finasteride and then switched to dutesteride (which is like a stronger version) and never experienced any type of minuscule of a side effect, my libido actually went up. I’ve been taking it for 5 years now on a daily basis.
Same is happening to me. I started fin a month ago after started taking it I had a lost of libido and from third weeks onwards I am getting much more libido and boners wtff
@@screamgodyt7172it's because of higher estrogen. estrogen can raise libido when your test can't convert to dht it gets converted to estrogen instead via aromatase
I took accutane and before that prednisone and azathioprine for colitis. It was all a con of course and all down to diet. Now I have much the same symptoms. Tried pretty much everything, so just have to accept this is the way it will always be.
I've been on it for 2 months now and definitely something is off in my brain. Strange anxiety and completely lost my sense of humor. Super brain fog. I'm gonna cut my dose in half and give it one more month
@@timtim-hf3ut Some people have effects after they stopped the medication, some have after a few years. Honestly we dont know what this drug do to us in long term...
I would recommend to remove some comments under videos of this youtube channel. It seems paid bots have showed up. Denial of PFS should not be tolerated here
There are no paid bots here... Most of the guys that have commented have PFS themselves and can relate to the condition. People who claim PFS isn't real and it's all bullshit simply do not have PFS and can't relate. It really is as simple as that.
@@damonkize Sorry! You have misunderstood me. By paid bots I meant those who deny the existence of PFS and call pfs sufferers a liars. It seems I have to edit my first message
@@alexcubesoft5900 I apologize, I thought you meant it differently. I don't let too many "online" things get to me, but I do get heated when I see guys online calling PFS bullshit and saying the issues are not due to Finasteride. Prior to taking the drug, I saw these exact same videos and comments and they are partly why I decided to take the drug in the first place.
@@damonkize Unfortunately, I can understand you very well. I have pssd for 1,5 years now so I follow the news about pfs too. It seems pssd and pfs should have something in common. The denial of these problems by medical community is completely unacceptable. I feel like l am living in some fucking twilight zone
I hope I am not too late but I have been dealing with the side effects of pfs for the past 4 years. I feel more stable but still struggle with memory and attention issues. All I can say is fight hard to get more blood flow all over the body do HIT workouts and lift heavy 3x5 sets for weeks. I took Fin for 1 month and a 1/2 I then spent 2 years in survival mode zombie through life. I am so sorry bro fuck hair loss and fuck merk and fuck the American people for letting ourselves be poisoned by these greedy companies. NEVER ever trust and FDA approved anything, never in life will the prominent law of the land look out for the most vulnerable people. good luck man. @@tired_of_everything0
How long have you been experiencing this? I have always been praying one day this PFS issues will be over for someone who is very important to me.. If only I could help his suffering ends..thank you for sharing
@@santanalarkin6118 So I recorded this video and made up a fake story and even have a thread exposing my photos of body changes with my instagram name...to get attention?
Prior to taking Finasteride, all of my bloodwork was phenomenal. Total Testosterone of 980 ng/dl and free testosterone in the upper 70% percentile. I was in excellent physical shape- amateur natural physique competitor shape to be more specific. I have posted photos of the body changes I have experienced on the PropeciaHelp forum. There is zero knowledge of what predisposes someone to PFS.
@@justineandserena I don't know the risk of topical Finasteride. Just steer clear from it man, it's not worth it. It's literally impossible as of right now to know the risks you're consenting to or how it can affect you.

Feel that young guy, for me I had the same mental effects on FIN as the fellaw described it. For me fortunately the sides disappeared 4 months after taking Fin
I Have take this shit 14 Years than Crash totaly i have quit it for 10 Years , and i am a Wrack.... nothing get better ...worser and worser...... this life is the Hell
My symptoms didn't start until after I stopped Finasteride. I was on it for about 6 years when I decided to give it up and about a month later I was having symptoms. I even thought about going back on it to see if it would fix itself but didn't want to be dependent on it. I recently started the carnivore diet and I'm seeing much better improvement in my libido and energy not to mention better mental clarity. Going to keep this diet up for a couple more months and have my blood work done.
Damon the testosterone can help. Just keep a close eye on e2. It took me about 2 years to recover from this but I had all the same issues you describe. Don't believe it when people say on the forum "if you respond to TRT you will know in a couple weeks." That wasn't true for me & looking back at what they said no wonder more guys like you believe this, I did too but I stuck with It. It took a long time to perfect my TRT regimen and for my body to heal. Clomid has horrible side effects of its own and it will only increase your T while you are on it. IMO Clomid sucks and it makes more guys think they are permanently broken. Hang in there! It's possible to drastically improve your life. It will get better.
Thanks for this video. I believe you. I won't take these pills. I'll just go bald or use a hair system. Hope you all find something that works in the near future.
I’ll have a video update under this channel in the future. In short, no. Whatever shut off inside of my body after taking Finasteride has not changed. None of my symptoms have improved. Almost 3 years now.
@@damonkize Hi Damon, how long were you on finasteride? Like how long did you take it? I was curious because you didn't really mention this in the video, thanks. Also, you might wanna take a look at neurosteroids since 5 alpha reductase is responsible for making neurosteroids in the central nervous system.
@@damonkize Thanks for the reply, by the way Damon, studies have shown that people with Alzheimer's Disease had lower levels of Allopregnanolone (a type of neurosteroid) in their brains than people with healthy brains, this could explain why you have cognitive impairment because by inhibiting 5 alpha reductase you would also be inhibiting your neurosteroids at the same time, apparently this drug blocks more than just your DHT, it's really crazy what this drug could do to one's body.
@@damonkizeI had been using finastride for 2 years. I wasn't getting proper sleep. I left all the medications. I have taken ayurvedic medicine for sleep disorder and now I am fine.
Mine lasted for close to 8 months after I stopped taking it . I had pretty severe sides. Unilateral gyno, very very low libido, retrograde ejaculation, mild Ed but consistently an issue, testicular shrinkage . Luckily all the steps I took really helped me and I’d say I’m at almost 100 percent. Also before taking it I had all bloods checked and was a super fit so it wasn’t a pre existing condition. Happy to share Incase they helped even one other person. Was as if a part of me had fully switched off and even had patches of scaly skin on my scalp and neck.
I take 1.25 mg finasteride for over a decade no sides, saved my hair, I’m 59 and train regular. So sorry this great medicine did that to you it seems to be an issue for many?
i suspect there's alot of under-reporting of side effects due to the sensitive nature of it all..the 1% to 2% cases of libido loss strike me as on the low side.
I took it for a week and my libido and sexual desire was nuked already. Realized I wasn’t get erections. Difficult to get one if I tried. This scared the shit out of me and I can’t begin to think what would be like with the rest of PFS. Good luck to everyone. Having hair isn’t worth the risk.
How are u feeling Right now ? I’m taking finasteride 5mg for 2 months por Prostate problems … I wonder if the side effects will Gone sways after i ended the treatment ….. I’m worried
Unfortunately topically does not have a significant better safety profile. It goes systemic slidly slower but in the end of the day its the same thing.
So sad to watch this. I also got issues with Propecia. Lucky for me they've almost subsided, although some are still lingering after 1-2 years. I'm sure there's a way for you to get back to normal. I'd start with trying either TRT or try to raise your T levels in some other way since you saw a decline. Edit: Also they've seen people with PFS have zero allopregnanolone. Might be worth trying to take a test, although I don't think it's readily available.
That can happen for some, we’re all different. I started having sexual sides that I thought were “okay or worth it” for my hair. But I stopped and started twice and each time I got worse, with the second time being my crash and having a lot of the same symptoms as Damon. I took the drug for a little over a year total. We’re all different. Again I’m so sorry you’re going through this Damon, don’t give up! You will find a way
You can also try some life style changes, there’s something off with the 5ar receptor which you may want to take a look at or ask your endocrinologist. And also seek some kind of phycologist sometimes it takes time to get over sides
TLDR; I think you mean well but you are perpetuating a narrative that does not help us. What you say is very similar to what many doctors have told me: "give it time, take it easy, try exercising" ...etcetera. I agree that this is good advice in general, but you must understand that most of us have already been there. I've done the lifestyle changes. I eat healthy and varied, I avoid alcohol and caffeine (or at least go easy on them). I work out regularly, focus on my job and my friends, doing therapy, all of that stuff. If therapy and time were the solution, these videos would not exist. I've been to a urologist, endocrinologist and a therapist and apart from ruling out a hyperprolactinoma or prostate cyst as potential causes (they didn't find any), they have not been able to do much. In the case of PFS, it is very hard to even get them to listen, because the danger of finasteride has not been accepted as established knowledge in the medical community, and patients tend to be very confident that finasteride has a role in this. A confidence that doctors are not willing to share. Most doctors I have visited tend to express the suggestion that it is likely psychological before they have even bothered to do a single test or even ask further questions. It is tiresome and heartbreaking. I don't mind if a doctor tells me that they don't know what the problem is or if it is beyond their scope of expertise, but to hear a doctor dismiss you is very frustrating. Believe me, I wish it were psychosomatic, because I believe I would be a lot further ahead in life at this point in my trajectory, but sadly that is not the case.
@@anonymousse7054 I know that it inhibits 5ar and could cause like 4 yrs for someone to recover a horrible event. To be honest I don’t disagree with you if anything I’m in the middle ground, there should be more research done about this drug but sadly we don’t want to look on about the dangers. It’s pretty depressing losing hair but to end up with sides is horrible, I’m know chemist but you could give 5ar a try or to supplement with it and see how it goes and to keep up with everything else.
@@anonymousse7054 I’d focus on those two conditions and make the most of it, and get plenty of sun and making sure you monitor your health. Look for a doctor who maybe works with these types of situations even I would think that’s best for these types of issues; don’t give up man.

@@Thehappymasksalesman thanks man I have actually started seeing a therapist about a month ago. I’m hoping to get a diagnosis soon. I do believe it is just my current situation that became more apparent ..
@@howto-wiki8291 what you’re experiencing sounds an awful lot like anhedonia and blunted emotions which is very common in PFS. Look into it a lot of people are experiencing the same thing after quitting
Recovery is possible. Start with your mindset. Forget your life before. It's gone... this is your new normal. Thats the mindset you need to have . It won't start getting better until you change your perspective on life .
I took it for 6 months and i felt like i was on steroids. I got full of rage and wanted to physically hurt people that did me wrong in the past. This is coming from a devout reasonable Christian. After a year of non-use i still battle w/ lingering feelings of hate/rage attacks and ruminating thoughts. My attention span is terrible because of these thoughts and it affects my studying and relationships, its bad enough I had ADD in the past. I pray God everyday to bring me back to the guy that had nothing but love and patience and to rid of these hateful thoughts/emotions. Thanks for sharing your story, we are not alone in this battle.
May YAUH heal all of us in YAUSHA’s Name!

Great fairy tale.
I started finasteride 2 months ago. I work as a consultant and used to be able to work 60 + hours a week. Since taking finasteride, I struggle focusing and am feeling tired all the time. Nothing excites me anymore and feel like I don't have a goal in life anymore. This is causing me to perform bad at work. I'm thinking about quitting finasteride, but want to stay on to see if I get some of my hair back.
Just stop it please before it gets too late. Took it for 6months all of a sudden my entire body crashed. Its not worth it. Been off the drug for more than 2 years now and it slowly gets worse every time

Although still not optimum, the mental side and physical effects have subsided to some extent. Hope that gives you hope and thanks for sharing your story.

Very brave of you to do this Damon! It requires a lot of strength and courage to handle your situation. You're a great person for what you're doing and I can't express how deeply I appreciate to hear your experience. Never give up, your body is a great instrument and might surprise you at some point in the future. It is programmed to return to its normal state. Nobody has lived long enough to see if it stays like this forever.
People have had it for 20 years
This shouldn't be happening. It is happening. This drug should never have been put on the market.
Thank you Damon for sharing your story and bringing awareness to this horrible condition that has affected so many lives.
Quick question for those of us who are suffering from PFS…
While there is no known treatment for PFS, are there any promising treatments on the horizon? I’m obviously hoping so…
Thanks to all of you men for your vulnerability, courage, and perseverance…I hope and pray that all of us will find ways to reclaim our lives.. 🤲 Stay hopeful, as there may be answers to our questions and healing for our suffering sooner than later…

This might be strange, but for me going to the tanning salon during the winter helped alot. I had severe side effects back in 2018 that persisted for 1,5 years. I believe im fully recovered now, luckily. It might be the case that vitamine D is important for recovery, or I just naturally recovered with time. I had both physical and cognitive side effects, from loss of libido, severe brain fog, depression, lack of focus, loss of sensation in the tip of the dick, no morning wood, no arousal when I would be able to come. I wish everybody that is going trough this a lot of courage and strength, my story definitely shows that full recovery is possible. Most importantly don't give up, you are not alone!
Thank you for speaking out! I'm so sorry this happened to you. I'm in the same boat. I've had PFS for over 10 years. The cognitive side effects and the personality changes are the worst.
Hello, could you list all side effects you are currently (after 10) years experiencing, aswell as whether it has gotten (any?) better?
@Rigunlung Gonmei You mean the guy who commented or Damon in the video?

Thanks for your breavery Damon
Son i am with you it f ked me up no end and still is. Stay strong brother ex section commander infantry:)
Thank you, Damon…
My heart breaks for you, and it breaks for all of us… 💔
It’s messed up that the doctors act like it’s completely safe. The incidence of these reactions could be less than the amount of people involved in the studies/trials. There’s too many stories of men who had these same exact reactions and and had never even heard of PFS.
My brother stick in there, we’re going through this with you as well. Stay as strong as you can, and don’t stop fighting. Don’t lose hope, you will get over this and you’ll be telling that story one day as well. Believe it, thank you for your courage and sharing your story ❤️❤️❤️
Good luck Damon, we are in this together.
@Happy Ri there are no reasons for this guy to lie about this terrible condition. Who are you and what are you doing here by the way?
@Happy Ri I dont dictate you anything. I 've just asked why are you here and why are you so interested in this topic? I wonder why are you defending finasteride so desperately
@Happy Ri and what can he gain from lying?
@Happy Ri there are plenty of people who got fucked by just 1 pill. I guess 1 pill is enough to inginite the whatever chain reaction that causes pfs that we don’y know about yet. 1 pill/shot of any medicine is substantial enough to cause side effects. He took 1 pill, got side effects, then stopped taking it, but the sides stayed and got worse. What’s so hard to understand? You don’t need to take fin for years to develop pfs.
@Happy Ri To be clear, I felt cognitively different by the same evening (around 8 or so hours after taking the pill.) I felt something was off, just didn't feel like myself. Over the next few days it gradually got worse; it was substantial enough to where I never took another pill. Otherwise I would've kept taking it. By about 3 days after taking the drug I felt completely dissociated from everything around me, like I was dreaming. It all got worse from there physically, mentally, etc. It peaked at around a year and a half after taking that pill, where things kind of stagnated. I'm not going to spend too much time replying to comments like yours because it's quite simple. If you don't have or never had PFS, you can't relate to it. All I can do is try and share my experience and discourage anybody from ever taking Finasteride.
I have read many online male health forums for about 10 years now, and there’s so many devastating stories regarding PFS, with much in common. Verified doctors speak out against Propecia use. I believe it was Dr John Crisler that said he had grown men crying their eyes out at appointments begging for help from PFS side effects.
Thank you so much for speaking about this devastating condition in public Damon! Very brave, you have my full respect!
I suffer from PSSD and have similar symptoms. Let's hope, that we will get cured in the future!
It hurts listening to Damon because I know exactly how it feels. I was in the same state after the crash...the desperation, the inability to focus, slurred speach, akward gestures and eye movements...always on the verge of a panic attack.
Full blown PFS is pure hell but luckily I improved after the two year mark. What about you Damon ? Please give us an update.
What symptoms did you all have and improve in?
Don't give up. I also have this been suffering for 9 months now
Thanks for sharing your story. It takes a lot of courage.
Utterly devastating. Hang in there Damon.
My heart goes out to you buddy
This is horrible and you did nothing to deserve this. I hope one day we all recover
Thank you bro I’m a suffer I’m four months off this poisoning drug. The brain fog is debilitating as well as the sexual side affects. I’m hoping I’m going to heal..I’m really hoping..I’m in the process of trying to heal and sorting medical advice.
I’m so sorry that you experienced this. I initially took finasteride and then switched to dutesteride (which is like a stronger version) and never experienced any type of minuscule of a side effect, my libido actually went up. I’ve been taking it for 5 years now on a daily basis.
Same is happening to me. I started fin a month ago after started taking it I had a lost of libido and from third weeks onwards I am getting much more libido and boners wtff
@@screamgodyt7172you are literally playing Russian roulette with your life taking this drug

There are no paid bots here... Most of the guys that have commented have PFS themselves and can relate to the condition. People who claim PFS isn't real and it's all bullshit simply do not have PFS and can't relate. It really is as simple as that.

I don't let too many "online" things get to me, but I do get heated when I see guys online calling PFS bullshit and saying the issues are not due to Finasteride.

@@damonkize Unfortunately, I can understand you very well. I have pssd for 1,5 years now so I follow the news about pfs too. It seems pssd and pfs should have something in common.

If you’ve had less testosterone to begin with sometimes that can have an effect, don’t give up
Prior to taking Finasteride, all of my bloodwork was phenomenal. Total Testosterone of 980 ng/dl and free testosterone in the upper 70% percentile. I was in excellent physical shape- amateur natural physique competitor shape to be more specific. I have posted photos of the body changes I have experienced on the PropeciaHelp forum. There is zero knowledge of what predisposes someone to PFS.

My symptoms didn't start until after I stopped Finasteride. I was on it for about 6 years when I decided to give it up and about a month later I was having symptoms. I even thought about going back on it to see if it would fix itself but didn't want to be dependent on it. I recently started the carnivore diet and I'm seeing much better improvement in my libido and energy not to mention better mental clarity. Going to keep this diet up for a couple more months and have my blood work done.
I have terrible symptoms after going off of it. Was on that shit for 4 years for beard growth. Carnivore has helped me though 👍🏻

Does anyone know how Damon is doing today, 3 years later?
Hey did you recovered from pfs ?
Damon the testosterone can help. Just keep a close eye on e2. It took me about 2 years to recover from this but I had all the same issues you describe. Don't believe it when people say on the forum "if you respond to TRT you will know in a couple weeks." That wasn't true for me & looking back at what they said no wonder more guys like you believe this, I did too but I stuck with It. It took a long time to perfect my TRT regimen and for my body to heal. Clomid has horrible side effects of its own and it will only increase your T while you are on it. IMO Clomid sucks and it makes more guys think they are permanently broken. Hang in there! It's possible to drastically improve your life. It will get better.
I used TRT for 8 months and it made me feel awful, everyone’s different but I can tell you for me it did nothing.
@@hypeboi676 I am sorry to hear that. I know this can be quite debilitating. Hopefully, you get better with time. Most seem to.
@Henrique Martins Yes, I had weakness. Testosterone replacement. Specifically low dose TRT.
i've got somewhat high T levels and yet experiencing the PST albeit not the more severe end of the scale of symptoms.
Thanks for this video. I believe you. I won't take these pills. I'll just go bald or use a hair system. Hope you all find something that works in the near future.
Damon, have you improved lately?
I’ll have a video update under this channel in the future. In short, no. Whatever shut off inside of my body after taking Finasteride has not changed. None of my symptoms have improved. Almost 3 years now.
@@damonkize Hi Damon, how long were you on finasteride? Like how long did you take it? I was curious because you didn't really mention this in the video, thanks. Also, you might wanna take a look at neurosteroids since 5 alpha reductase is responsible for making neurosteroids in the central nervous system.
@@Shark-a-nado One pill. One time.
@@damonkize Thanks for the reply, by the way Damon, studies have shown that people with Alzheimer's Disease had lower levels of Allopregnanolone (a type of neurosteroid) in their brains than people with healthy brains, this could explain why you have cognitive impairment because by inhibiting 5 alpha reductase you would also be inhibiting your neurosteroids at the same time, apparently this drug blocks more than just your DHT, it's really crazy what this drug could do to one's body.
@@damonkizeI had been using finastride for 2 years. I wasn't getting proper sleep. I left all the medications.
I have taken ayurvedic medicine for sleep disorder and now I am fine.
Damon, thank you so much for speaking out. You are a brave man and none of what has happened is your fault. Why is Finasteride still being used???
Mine lasted for close to 8 months after I stopped taking it . I had pretty severe sides. Unilateral gyno, very very low libido, retrograde ejaculation, mild Ed but consistently an issue, testicular shrinkage . Luckily all the steps I took really helped me and I’d say I’m at almost 100 percent. Also before taking it I had all bloods checked and was a super fit so it wasn’t a pre existing condition. Happy to share Incase they helped even one other person. Was as if a part of me had fully switched off and even had patches of scaly skin on my scalp and neck.
I take 1.25 mg finasteride for over a decade no sides, saved my hair, I’m 59 and train regular. So sorry this great medicine did that to you it seems to be an issue for many?
It’s insane that some people, like yourself, have no problems with this drug and other have an extreme reaction like this poor man.
i suspect there's alot of under-reporting of side effects due to the sensitive nature of it all..the 1% to 2% cases of libido loss strike me as on the low side.
After one pill this guy has got pfs?
I am sorry man Jesus I hope there's some sort of reward for your suffering
how are you now?
I took it for a week and my libido and sexual desire was nuked already. Realized I wasn’t get erections. Difficult to get one if I tried. This scared the shit out of me and I can’t begin to think what would be like with the rest of PFS. Good luck to everyone. Having hair isn’t worth the risk.

@@miguelalejandro4357 I'm better now and I think the effects I was experiencing are mostly gone
@@justinfay3011thank god they are gone ! Never take this poison again
What about topical finastride bro please elaborate on it also
Stay away from any 5-ar inhibitory drug. Period.
Unfortunately topically does not have a significant better safety profile. It goes systemic slidly slower but in the end of the day its the same thing.
I feel for you man
Is it was just one pill that you had?!
So sad to watch this. I also got issues with Propecia. Lucky for me they've almost subsided, although some are still lingering after 1-2 years.
I'm sure there's a way for you to get back to normal. I'd start with trying either TRT or try to raise your T levels in some other way since you saw a decline.
Edit: Also they've seen people with PFS have zero allopregnanolone. Might be worth trying to take a test, although I don't think it's readily available.
Unfortunately you need a spinal tap to measure alloP, and even if it’s low there’s no treatment
what were your symptoms? and how are you now
it kills your masculine essence, that sums everything up
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fuck dude, make more videos, make people aware of this shit
Damon I’m experiencing the same exact symptoms you are, can I get in contact with you?
I really would love to hear an update from this guy... In case he is still among us
Ive never taken fin and I have a lot of this problems already . I’ve never take fin a day in my life ... definitely not gonna take that shit.
Has the clomid helped? Surely TRT would help also
It definitely changes your brain chemistry, it feels like other drugs used to treat depression.
After one tablet?
Unfortunately yes.
That can happen for some, we’re all different. I started having sexual sides that I thought were “okay or worth it” for my hair. But I stopped and started twice and each time I got worse, with the second time being my crash and having a lot of the same symptoms as Damon. I took the drug for a little over a year total. We’re all different. Again I’m so sorry you’re going through this Damon, don’t give up! You will find a way
@@damonkize Hey man hope you are doing better, would be great if you could post an update video on how things are going.
@@damonkize one tablet for me too, fucked up beyond belief
@@jaschahal1658 Have you improved?
You can also try some life style changes, there’s something off with the 5ar receptor which you may want to take a look at or ask your endocrinologist. And also seek some kind of phycologist sometimes it takes time to get over sides
TLDR; I think you mean well but you are perpetuating a narrative that does not help us.
What you say is very similar to what many doctors have told me: "give it time, take it easy, try exercising" ...etcetera. I agree that this is good advice in general, but you must understand that most of us have already been there. I've done the lifestyle changes. I eat healthy and varied, I avoid alcohol and caffeine (or at least go easy on them). I work out regularly, focus on my job and my friends, doing therapy, all of that stuff. If therapy and time were the solution, these videos would not exist. I've been to a urologist, endocrinologist and a therapist and apart from ruling out a hyperprolactinoma or prostate cyst as potential causes (they didn't find any), they have not been able to do much. In the case of PFS, it is very hard to even get them to listen, because the danger of finasteride has not been accepted as established knowledge in the medical community, and patients tend to be very confident that finasteride has a role in this. A confidence that doctors are not willing to share.
Most doctors I have visited tend to express the suggestion that it is likely psychological before they have even bothered to do a single test or even ask further questions. It is tiresome and heartbreaking. I don't mind if a doctor tells me that they don't know what the problem is or if it is beyond their scope of expertise, but to hear a doctor dismiss you is very frustrating. Believe me, I wish it were psychosomatic, because I believe I would be a lot further ahead in life at this point in my trajectory, but sadly that is not the case.
@@anonymousse7054 I know that it inhibits 5ar and could cause like 4 yrs for someone to recover a horrible event. To be honest I don’t disagree with you if anything I’m in the middle ground, there should be more research done about this drug but sadly we don’t want to look on about the dangers. It’s pretty depressing losing hair but to end up with sides is horrible, I’m know chemist but you could give 5ar a try or to supplement with it and see how it goes and to keep up with everything else.
@@anonymousse7054 I’d focus on those two conditions and make the most of it, and get plenty of sun and making sure you monitor your health. Look for a doctor who maybe works with these types of situations even I would think that’s best for these types of issues; don’t give up man.
@@bulletbites6720 I'm not aware of any '5 ar supplement'. There is no such thing. If you're talking about taking Mesterolone/Proviron or other testosterone supplements. Many have tried.
