Finasteride side effects after 5 days. Quit a week ago; extreme anxiety.
RjvsFeb 9, 2017
I am 23 and was prescribed finasteride 1mg for hair loss. I took 5 pills over 5 days.; day 3 to 5 I experienced a weak erection and a weak orgasm. Strangely, later that evening, my testicles started moving uncontrollably. I quit the drug and it has been a week since. Hot flush and red face two days after; and bloating. I am living in a state of extreme anxiety. My fear: not knowing for months if I will crash and be permanently stuck with sides? Can I take any precautions? Thank you
