17M Hey yall, I took 1mg of proscar 2 weeks ago, I think I still have brain fog. Haven’t been able to sleep more than 5 hours this past week no matter what I did. Also haven’t been able to enjoy or laugh at the things I could just before taking fin. All of that […]

So basically what I learned is that people who don’t recover from sides after quitting fin are bound to get them regardless, propecia just accelerated the what will happen to them. Because of that how tf do I know if I’m getting ED or whatever in the future ? The doctor said that people who […]
My comments and opinions are really just meant to stand on their own merits or lack thereof. But I can share that I have had close visibility into what research the PFS Foundation has been doing over the past several years. Even once there is an important finding, it can take years before it makes […]
You said “The best way to avoid it is if you are taking finasteride and have significant eD, then stop the medications before it goes on too long.” That is not an effective risk management approach to avoiding post finasteride syndrome. Once a patient decides to take the drug, they should be aware that they […]
I got a prescription of fin filled but it’s just sitting in my room. Been balding for a few years now but I still have a hairline that’s receded in the temples. I’m not scared so much as about the side effects but the stories I’ve heard/read about permanent side effects that last even after […]
You mentioned that you were confused by the Reuters article so I thought it would be worthwhile to send you some of the highlights to break it down. These are all based on objective facts that can be verified in the documents. When you look at the current Propecia label, Merck discusses the sexual side […]
https://ec.bioscientifica.com/view/journals/ec/aop/ec-19-0199.xml “Roberto Cosimo Melcangi, Ph.D. at UniMi’s Department of Pharmacological and Biomolecular Sciences, led a team of 10 researchers from six institutions who performed methylation analysis in blood samples of 16 PFS patients and 20 healthy control-group patients, and in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples of 16 PFS patients and 13 controls. “For the first time, we […]
Are these dermatologists or endocrinologists that talk about post-finasteride syndrime? My dermatologist said the same thing, but when I called local endocrinologists who treat these issues they all said they had many patients dealing with serious finasteride side effects and I should avoid the drug. Derms write year long prescriptions for this drug, and it’s […]
I tell eveyone of my patients about PFS as a remote risk that they take if they go on finasteride. I am also quick to address the earliest symptom of ED so I have never seen this in the 20,000 or so prescriptions I have written despite the fact that I have seen ED in […]
I’m just also wondering why, when so many men took 5 times the dosage for BPH prior to it ever even being used for hair loss, that we didn’t hear about all of this sexually related morbidity- especially when you consider who was doing most of that initial prescribing: Urologists. I mean, these would have also been the first line […]
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/28289563/ CONCLUSION AND RELEVANCE: Risk of PED was higher in men with longer exposure to 5?-RIs. Among young men, longer exposure to finasteride posed a greater risk of PED than all other assessed risk factors. Comment: I have prescribed finasteride since it was first introduced. I have never had a patient with this condition reporting to […]
I have been off of finasteride for about 7 days and I’m scared of PFS. I have been taking Propecia for 9 months. How common is it for guys to get permanent side effects? Do you now have sexual side effects? If you have made the decision to stop the finasteride, then it is highly […]
This is an important article because it explains why I probably have never seen a case of post-finasteride syndrome in the thousands of patients who were prescribed the drug by me over the past 2 decades. When someone complains of ED, I either reduce the dose until the symptoms go away, or discontinue the drug. […]
Finasteride has many systemic effects on hormone metabolism, so I am sure that many of the side effects will also apply to women. With regard to sexuality, it is a complex issue for women so it cannot just labeling finasteride as the cause. Women’s sexuality is not only related to androgens as with men.
I have been practicing medicine for 27 years, and since the drug was released in the mid-1990s, I have prescribed it thousands of times. In my practice experience, I have never seen this syndrome among the people who got the prescription from me, but since I became aware of this a few years ago, I […]
