Experiencing Anxiety and Fatigue After 1 Week on Finasteride – Looking for Advice

Hello friends,

I started oral finasteride 0.5 mg a week ago. Everything was going well, and during the first few days, I felt in a good mood. But yesterday, I experienced anxiety and dizziness in the afternoon, followed by feeling tired all day. I took a nap to calm myself, but I’m still feeling tired. I have stopped taking finasteride, but I would like to know what I should do next. Will my hormones regulate themselves over time, or should I consider lowering the dose? I’m specifically asking people who have experienced the same side effects.

No one knows my man. Some recommend keep going others lowering the dose. I will recommend you to refer to a doctor. I had no side effects even on dut+fin daily to be honest, so cannot relate in that regard.

I feel better today, but it seems my blood pressure dropped yesterday. I still have a mild headache. I’m still not sure if it’s because of finasteride.
