so i stopped fin in Jan 2025

the sides creeped in slowly.

when i was off. i realized how much more anxiety anhedonia i have . and my ED etc

mostly Mental sides tbh

Now recently i started noticing that my left Balls side is stinging and hurting rarely

and i also developed twitching on my left eye lid.

Its been years. i never had these sides before and i havent taken any suppliment or known 5AR inhibitor not even green tea etc

Is that a crash, window or a sign of worsening/better?

idk anymore

Does anyone relate to this symptom? It developed recentlyi been off Fin since January 2025.

i read somewhere that muscle spasms are side effectg this one in particular

I got PFS since Jan 25... i suffer from this awful Sickness and these are my symptoms , hbu guys

Strong Anhedonia

,Strong Social Anxiety,

slight ED,

Strong OCD,

Brain Fog,

Fatigue ,

dry face skin,

Suicidal Ideation

, i slur speech sometimes,

lower libido

, memory loss slightly

, kinda got "less Ego" if that makes sense and more Pessimism/Nihilism tendencies.

Became less Religious,

Insomnia,

Apathy,

Low energy,

Reduced semen volume ,

concentration issues sometimes

How long did it take for your to recover completely?

I need some hopcore because life is just grim

been off this garbage pill since jan 25

I used to be way more religious. ever since i took finasteride i became a lot more pessismistic even have nihilistic tendencies. i didnt lose my faith completely but i am not practising like i used to be. i used to be pray and worship god a lot and follow the Code. Ever since i took finasteride. its like it changed my entire Brain chemistry.. im not myself anymore. i dont care about anything that much because of my anhedonia. i lost fear as well , im not afraid of stuff that i used to be afraid of. I still believe in god though.

On the flip side because of my severe anhedonia, depression ,ocd and suicidal ideation i tried art and created a lot throughout recently

Btw recently i saw someone say something similar so im wondering to anyone who was very religious or something like that. did Finasteride also affect you in a similar way?

I always had OCD but since I got pfs it's sooo much worse. like crippling tbh.

Anyway to fix?? TRIED GLYCINE, LTHEANYIN, DIDNT HELP

Obviously cant take SSRIs because of sides like PFS
