Desperate !
Hi guys,
To make it fast, i took ONE pill of finasteride late January, crashed heavily. And since then i'm a zombie.
My ED is better, i can have sex, but i still have heavy fatigue, lethargy, anxiety and depression, suicidal toughts.
I don't know if i ever will recover.
Here are my latest labs :
Lh 0.9
Fsh 1.5
Total t : 226
Tsh 0.33 (0.4-3)
T3 3.12 (2.17-3.3)
T4 12.9 (7-16)
I had panic attacks prior to Finasteride but nothing as hellish !
Currently i'm on Effexor 75mg per day. But it doesnt help.
I also take 5a-DHP.

You must be extremely sensitive to any kind of hormonal changes. Taking 1 pill is a bit nuts.
Follow the protocol. Total Male Optimization.
Theres enough people here to vouch that you can recover. Drop the anxiety. Does thinking about your situation change your situation at all? No. Focus on the improvements, that will head you in the right direction. 2-3 weeks ago my dick wouldnt work at all. Now I get reactions and can get horny from no manual stimulation. It works, but I dived in 100%. Completely changed my life. You cannot half-ass this. Decide what it's worth to you and change appropriately.
From what ive seen, the mental problems can be fixed with the right attitude and go away before the physical. So you are in good space right now for recovery. The fact that you can have sex shows that. Also, labs without units arent helpful. is that ng/dl? Anyway, labs shouldnt be looked at for recovery. Maybe track progress with it, but some people have testosterone as low as 350 naturally and function just fine.

Yes it is 226 ng/dl so low low low

Mister Mal started the protocol at 190. So you arent the worst here. He's actually almost 100% recovered. Look at his thread.
-
Alright buddy. Bad news is you're in a bit of a tiffle. Good news is you know how to get out of it.
All of us, me included, know exactly how you feel. You're gonna be just fine. Just hop on the protocol and you'll be okay. Work hard and you'll be okay in no time.
-
Those good ole' deceitful testosterone levels again... gotta love them ;)
Agreed with what other members. Just go along with the protocol. Ive been at it for a few months now. I have already healed the all the sides except for the sexual. And i started the protocol with total testosterone levels in the 600s. It shows you how meaningless labs are, and that doing this protocol will heal you and better your life in general.
-
I have crying spells everyday since one week
-
@Master Mal where you able to function with such low levels ?
-
I can beat you on those levels. My test at its worst was 116. I haven't measured for a couple of years now but it would be a lot higher than that now.
Jump on the protocol and it will all improve. And get off the effexor - that is counter productive.
-
Where you also fucking depressed at those levels ?
For the moment i cannot function without Effexor
