PFS Patient (male)

I cry more. It’s like I’m in a fog. Went to the hospital today because I didn’t know where else to go, only to be told that PFS does not exist.

I have been taking finasteride 5mg orally daily since 2017 for benign prostatic hyperplasia. The depression got to be too much so I stopped taking it 12 days ago. Now I’m going through intense depression with new onset of panic attacks and anxiety, rash, palpitations, sexual problems. Today I felt as if my world was over, like a pinnacle of a roller coaster of emotions I’ve been going through. I cry more. It’s like I’m in a fog. Went to the hospital today because I didn’t know where else to go, only to be told that PFS does not exist. And that I need counseling. I’ve never contemplated suicide before today and it scared me. I’m glad you guys exist. I’m ok for now, only because I understand what’s going on.
