Unbelievable. Thank you so much for sharing your story, George. People assume topical Finasteride is safer. It’s obviously not. I can relate so much to your symptoms, especially the facial changes and having your muscles turn into “mush”. I’m a bodybuilder and noticed that symptom very early on upon stopping Finasteride. It was devastating as I’m someone who’s been into fitness for my entire life. You’re a brave man, and we’re going to figure this out for us. Stay strong, brother! - Mark
Yup that's the spirit. Never understood what was the point in being stupidly negative. Our guy here did his duty, his task as a human being was to do this video so he brought his stone to the building (and a big one). All of us have to make a difference somehow. Bring something. Something else that just whining and spreading dispair anonymously. From the instant you know about the disease, whoever you are, you're obliged to do something. PFS is a crime against humanity. Anyone witnessing owes to do something. Be it give 100 bucks and share videos, and write to the media. Anything.
I feel you, George. I am having the same sexual symptoms that only started when I took this drug and it still hasn't gone even four months after stopping. I really hope you do recover soon, dear!
@@footballfollowthroughpodca639 People who have this condition know with certainty that it's not psychological. It's difficult to comprehend it if you're not suffering yourself. As a 3 year PFS sufferer, I advice you to stay away from this drug for your own safety. Cheers.
It's revolutionary that these videos are recorded. How a man in his right mind would chose to take Finasteride after seeing that? These videos have to keep being recorded until there's hundreds, thousands of them. And your role is to keep sharing them every where, on X, on reddit... To family and friends... Even to the media.
thats why i throwed my finasterid in the trash can... even if these cases are rare, its still real and i wont ever touch it.... thanks to those videos... it cannot be healthy to supress a natural hormone in your body...
Keep in mind millions of people take finasteride, i would guess the majority only suffer mild side effects. Pfs is still rare and some will take the risk for their hair. Just like people smoke even if there’s a chance to die in lung cancer from it for example
@@NoWay-oe9vs advantages are outweighed by the deficits to put it mildly. pfs is probably under-reported due to the stigma attached. I didn't experience the extreme side effects of this man , but mine have nonetheless persisted since stopping taking fin.
Thank you George I am a PFS suffer as well. The emotional blunting and physical complete shutdown have been the hardest things to cope with… hope you’ve managed to improve some… thank you for making the video
@@danielbryan7619 not really. I get periods of betterment but like it’s so far from what I used to be it’s not even comparable. I am a walking corpse at this point. There is pretty much nothing of me that remains, especially mentally. I fake it well, but there is no one inside this body of mine at this point
@@Mattme83am sorry your unwell. I have been very unwell since 2008, lying on my bed now in 2023 thinking is this it. I feel so sorry for you and the young man in this video. Its so unfair on you both.
I took 1mg pill each day for only a week and was mentally different like being in a dream by the end of the week and my heart was palpitating and I couldn't sleep. After quitting by day 3 my symptoms have subsided. Throwing it away. From what I understand it can take many months to get it out of your system completely. Someday something natural and safe will come about but until then, it is not worth our good health.
Thank you for your courage George and for speaking out in this issue. You are not alone. My life has also been destroyed by this drug and suffer from libido loss and other sexual side effects that have not gone away ever since taking the drug in 2019. Take good care of yourself.
Hi George. I hope you've still got your close friends supporting you, and that things are better now, or at least bearable. I came off Finasteride 2 weeks ago after the penny dropped and I was finally able to link my painful physical and emotional issues to a supposedly "safe" drug. I've lost a job and a LTR over this. Half expecting the crash any day now. Take care buddy x
I started Fins 2 weeks before & I'm thanking to Algorithm from my heart to bring this to me. Couldn't stop my tears from 8:30 in the video. May Almighty has mercy on you brother!
Hey George. Soooo fucking sorry to hear that man. I’m 27 and dealing with the exact same shit. 😞 Keep pushing forward man, something good has to come of this.
George, my experience has been quite similar. I thought Id put it out there that I also had elevated prolactin levels after taking it and i also got gyno (the least of my worries), although it returned to normal.
I’m 59 and on finasteride for a decade, no sides and it saved my hair, just finished a workout and after watching you interview I am a bit nervous to continue. So sorry for your situation mate PS your hair looks ok
Hi George. I hope you,re better. I’m suffering from a similar case. Please let me know if you have a way to get in contact, I want to give you some help and support.
George I was exactly where you are now in 2009 it does get better. There are things you can do I am willing to share those with you if you have a way i can contact you
5th year of this horror also starting here. This is something that cannot be descripe the anyone, if you have not experience this, its impossible to explain to anyone. This sucks out everything from human being that makes us human.
@@tired_of_everything0 Im 42. My symptoms in the beginning were an endless list, dont even wanna try to remember those. But now after almost 6 years the remaining are: gut function, gut overall situation, sexual anhedonia, genital unsensitivity, wiped out sexuality, overall hormonal function is a mess, muscles wont ”pump” when exercise, muscles wont grow, grey hairs, overall weakness, overall unsensitivity of whole body skin, cant feel feelings as I use to be like cant feel love anymore for example, sleep has never gotten back to normal, etc. You need to just struggle forward for couple years, many have gotten better with time and healthy living.
Unfortunately, I know exactly what you are talking about. And it is horrible. I wish you the best. Have you tried testosterone treatment? I heard that it can help...
It takes tremendous courage to talk about this publicly. Thank you so much!
I am so sorry.
Me too. This is so unfair
:( so young as well. What is this world coming too. Am so sorry, so hope you get better. Please dont give up :(
You should be proud of yourself George. Thank you for sharing something that has been neglected for way too long.
It takes a real man to speak publicly about this issue. Thank you and good luck.
Thank you for speaking out George. We must keep spreading awareness about this devastating condition.
