PFS Patient (male)

The biggest issue was that my cognitive ability was seriously damaged.

I am a patient who went through pfs, from outside-US. I had taken finastride for short-term and the last time I had taken the last pill is more than a year ago. I had been suicidal for quite a while since I had a severe side effect while I was taking it and after I quit taking it. The biggest issue was that my cognitive ability was seriously damaged, and I was only able to identify this myself when I realized that I was not able to solve the problems in my textbook (I was in college then, and I still am) which I previously had solved quite easily. It’s pretty hard to identify that the drug is giving me cognitive damage since it develops gradually, and there’s also the depression the drug gives itself that hinders clear judgement.
