    New finasteride victim, advice needed

    Day 3 almost finished, feel pretty good.


    As far as sides go, my biggest worries are the muscle wastage and a total lack of libido. Scary stuff, especially at my age.


    However I’ve been reading the Recoveries section like crazy and am willing to sacrifice the next 6 months, a year, 2 years - however long it takes to get back to being healthy. I just curse the day I ever took the poison called finasteride, can’t believe it..

    I got pretty much all my muscle in 4-6 weeks post fast/juice feast least of your concerns (just slowly build back up to previous level but muscle memory so you get it back faster than it took too initially get it 'you can google muscle memory for more info')

    and obviously when you're taking in little food your body isn't gunna prioritize having libido/sex hormones lol
    From rock bottom to rockstar, baby.

    Yeah but I’ve had muscle wasting/absolutely no libido ever since my crash, not just during the feast lol.

    Had the classic couple of days of recovery, followed by a crash

    What's done is done. You can't go back, so don't waste any more time or mental energy thinking about the what ifs. Focus on the present....the here and now.

    And I know it's difficult, but you shouldn't really worry about any of it. It will all come back. Just get on the program and STAY on it....can't tell you how many guys I've talked to that started and stopped a bunch of times and were then pissed because if they just would have stayed on, they would have been over it by now.

    Nose to the grind stone and get to work.

    Update time.

    I ended up finishing the feast after a week. Wanted to go for longer but I had some stuff going on which prevented that from happening. Refed for a couple of days and have just started the paleo diet. I also got some more herbs, am up to a 14 day cycle now.

    Ever since refeeding I've felt a great reduction of my mental sides. Possibly my first upswing? No more suicidal thoughts, no more depression, no more anhedonia. I can actually listen to music again and enjoy it, which I haven't been able to do since my crash. Feels good.

    Sexually I didn't see any improvement until today, when I got an unstimulated erection for the first time in almost two months! That's what prompted me to write this post lol. So not totally impotent anymore.

    I plan to cycle the herbs and eat paleo for a couple of weeks before starting the exercise regimen. Other than that (and sunning my boys), I'm doing all of the protocol and getting used to it. Definitely in it for the long run.

    yeah your benefits match my fast/feast as well. god send for mental sides. think majority of mental sides went away from fasting. they used to recommend it for psychiatric things. probably cleans the brain up of gunk

    Still feeling pretty awesome mentally. Also I have a little bit of libido again. Tried looking at porn just for a bit to see how it affected me, interestingly porn doesn't really do it for me like it did before pfs, but actual sex does. Am able to get it up from looking at "normal" pics of women and texting women, but porn does pretty much nothing. Weird stuff lol.

    Don't wanna get too excited though so I don't feel too letdown if/when a downswing comes along.

    yeah i have this too. I think it has to do with dopamine receptors. sex is closer to normal than my response to porn. very weird. before I would get a boner at the thought that I was gunna watch porn now it has to be a really good scene lol
