I didn't know propecia could do that!!!!

Anyway, I guess what I'm asking is if anyone else has noticed any of these central side effects that propecia seems to have? And if so, why the f@ck aren't they on the side effect list with the drug, because they seem to be quite common.

I've always dismissed anyone who said the side effect profile of propecia was a lot greater then merck made us believe/published. I guess that was because I wasn't getting the classic sexual side effects. Now I know that actually the side effect profile extends far beyond that, and people should be aware of this.

Sorry guys

I also have suffered mental fog and substantially decreased memory, beginning about the same time. I never really connected the dots that all this stuff could be fin related, but reading the message boards, it appears that may be the case. It makes sense timing wise.

The big question now is whether I should stop taking it. I do think that it has helped me keep a lot of hair. And I'd hate to quit only to find that the mental sides stick around while my hair falls out. I've been lasering for about 3 months now with a 300 diode helmet.

What do you think guys, should I quit fin now or wait until I see how I respond to the LLLT?

It has been 3wks since i quit the fin , hopefully once this stuff finally clears out of my system i'll get that part of my brain back. LOL

BTW , a slight increase in shed but nothing to freak me out about..........yet.

if its not listed, then u dont expect it, so when it happens, its easy just to blame it on something else.

think of it this way, do u agree that if ur experiencing this now, its only going to get worse?

if yes the only answer is to stop taking it. maybe it will go away, maybe it wont, but if u continue to take it, its garanteed to continue.

this is y im so against it. Because, yes in the short term, it will quite likely save ur hair and regrow some of it, but its just not viable long term.

i honestly believe 90% of people r going to have to quit eventually, so i guess really the only benefit, is that it can postpone ur mpb to later life when ur ready to deal with it. i.e. after u met some girls and basically get ur life together.

i guess if youve been already taking it for yrs, then waiting a few more months to see how u respond to lllt will be ok, but whether u respond or not, be prepared for a shed when u stop.

If i worked for the fda, i would have never allowed this situation to arise. DRUGS R SHORT TERM FIXES FOR LIFE AND DEATH SITUATIONS, they r no good long term for non-life threatening situations. FUkin greedy big pharma.

I had pretty bad brain fog when I quit fin. After a few months it slowly went away. It was a frightening experience, I was stumbling over words and having a lot of trouble concentrating on anything. I will never get back on the stuff again.

Jus -- How long were you on fin and how long was it before you could speak without stumbling?
