  • I kinda forgot that i also:
    - dont respond to any anabolics nor common stuff like caffeine, nicotine, alcohol etc. NO effect.
    - i also did another round of fin from aug23-feb24 since i had zero clue it was finasteride who was the poison..
    Just a raw video. #pfs #postfinasteridesyndrome #finasteride #beforeandafter

    Hi there, im 24 i suffer from hair loss although im not still in a bad situation and currently im taking only minoxidil for that but recently i was considering to try finasteride after some YT vids as an alternative to maintain or even grow some hair if possible but thanks to your story im not even thinking about taking that drug. Besides that your social and psychological situation is similar to mine at my age without even taking finasteride and you gave me so confidence thinking that im not lonely suffering this kind of situation. Hope you find strength to overcome your difficulties and after all you still looking good. Best regards from Hellas!

      mate i will tell you... just let your hair do its thing. save up for a hair transplant!
      im glad you found this video. never take finasteride. its russian roulette and you might end up dead from it (no joke, it will make you suicidal and want to die).
      nah man, there are millions of lonely damaged men out there. you are not alone. cherish and be happy that you have a well functioning body! the rest of your issues you can allways work on to improve :)

    According to Reuters, the FDA received more than 700 reports of suicidal thoughts and deaths by suicide among users of Propecia or its generic versions, including at least 100 deaths.
    Some reports suggest that finasteride may be linked to depression and anxiety because men with depression may have lower levels of allopregnanolone, a neurosteroid produced by the 5α-reductase enzyme that has antidepressant and anxiolytic effects

    • @Inoturo
      @Inoturo 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      New study: "Data obtained after finasteride treatment showed that 186 genes (i.e., 171 up- and 15 downregulated) and 19 (i.e., 17 up- and 2 downregulated) were differentially expressed in the hypothalamus and hippocampus, respectively.""Conclusion: Some of the genes reported to be differentially expressed (i.e., TTR, DIO2, CLDN1, CLDN2, SLC4A5, KCNE2, CROT, HCRT, MARCKSL1, VGF, IRF2BPL) and GSEA, suggest a potential link with specific side effects previously observed in patients and in the animal model, such as depression, anxiety, disturbance in memory and attention, and sleep disturbance. These data may provide an important background for future experiments aimed at confirming the pathological role of these genes."

    Thanks for sharing your story. Same thing happened to me from an SSRI 14 years ago. It totally destroyed my life. Finasteride and SSRIs are poison for some people. I think that Ryan Russo might have been going to recover given time, it might have just been a coincidence that he recovered while doing that protocol.

      @johncatalano7101 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I don’t agree. Based on his story and testimony of symptoms, there is almost ZERO chance in my opinion that Russo’s protocol is not what made him and his friend Jasper better.
      Go watch all of his videos, and his symptoms and the specific things he did to improve his symptoms. There’s almost no way in my opinion he got better on his own.

    Raw carnivore diet or at least a ketogenic diet might help with your issues (brain fog, body testosterone, memory loss, gut health etc), this is how body acts when you don't feed the nutrients it craves, you will not get what you need from fryed chicken and bread/oatmeals and common processed food which are the worst kind of food you can possibly eat.

    As a 24 year old who is showing early signs of hair loss I’ve definitely contemplated taking finasteride, but the risk of such devastating, prolonged side effects just isn’t worth it to me.
    What also scares me is the long term damage 60+ years of taking this drug could do to me without me even knowing it.
    It would be one of my biggest regrets in life if I took something with these consequences that I easily could have avoided. Especially when I didn’t “need” to take it outside of vanity reasons.

    If you stop taking finasteride and come back, the dht reduction effect will be decreased, so you may be experimenting reduction of testosterone due higher DHT than before due to aging, i felt a increase in testosterone after taking finasteride.
    I know how you feel, try increasing your testosterone level and fixing diet, and most important, face something hard, like sparring, this could fix the lack of emotions. You probably have a combo diseases and mental health factors, take a look at sociopatic behavior and consult a doctor to exam you. Also reduce screen exposure before sleeping.
