    The fasting definitely seems to be helping with the mental side of things, so hungry already though haha And that’s exactly what I’ve been doing. Almost all I’ve been doing when I’ve had the energy. I’m reading so many incredible stories on here.

    HELP from old members to new members

    Was gonna start a thread with a question about where to get a hair analysis in the UK but this seems like a good place to ask. Firstly want to say that the support here has been incredible so far and thank you to all who have helped me understand what's happening to me. It's without a doubt...

    Concerned's Blood Test Results Comparison (Before and After PFS)

    As some of you may know, I crashed after quitting a very brief spell of taking finasteride. The crash occurred 11 days ago now. My PFS Log can be found here: Concerned PFS Log Since the crash I've had a blood test. The GP said the results came back "fine". I've only just checked the results...

    Thanks so much for the encouraging words and advice Matty, they mean a lot to me right now with the state I'm in. Today's been quite a bit harder than yesterday so far but nowhere near as bad as Tuesday. Something interesting seems to be emerging which definitely gives me confidence in the...

    I'm gonna be using this thread to vent and document how I'm feeling at times but I'll also be asking questions of the community no doubt so please don't write the thread off as a purely for ranting one (not saying anyone here will do that, the support has been amazing already so far). I just...

    1. I've needed to urinate frequently (and sometimes suddenly) for a few years now so I wouldn't say I noticed anything related to what's happened. 2. Haven't checked really but saw one a few days ago and it looked lighter in colour. What did happen on the day of the crash was that I defecated...

    Just read through most of your log thread, good to see you've seen some substantial improvements in a relatively short amount of time. In terms of being in good shape etc, at the moment aesthetics seem trivial to me, which is a 180 turnaround in character. I am vain which is why I've been going...

    Thanks man. Would this the correct ratios for this: "Breuss juice vegetable juice that consists of 55 percent red beet root, 20 percent carrots, 20 percent celery root, 3 percent raw potato, 2 percent radishes" Thanks for the insight here. Could anyone link me to a refeeding protocol so I...

    Is it safe to water fast for 7 days at home with no medical or specialist assistance? I assume you just conserve energy on the couch and limit movement? I want to start the water fast tomorrow then but I don't think I'll be able to do it. Feel so unbelievably bad right now. I need to take...

    How can you exercise if your only intake is water though? At what day of the fast should mental symptoms be expected to improve? I went the whole day the other day with nothing but water and felt awful man. Having bad anxiety again tonight. I'm sitting here and things that usually bring me joy...

Sorry I can't respond to each post individually, I'm overwhelmed with everything going on but each and every post is valued. Having people to talk to about this today has helped me tremendously...

    I’m overwhelmed by how fast and supportive the responses have been here so far, you guys are basically angels. I’ve just walked out of the GP’s with a mirtazepine prescription. The GP had absolutely no idea what to do with me, I’m telling him that overnight I can’t eat, sleep or get an erection...

    Does anybody who's crashed have experience using diazepam to control the anxiety? I have about 5 tablets left over, prescribed for easing nerves while flying.

    I really, really hope so. I've already ordered a blender and might attempt to start juice feast from tomorrow. Don't know what the intended advice is for the first few weeks after the crash. The leaftlet with fin is a joke, no advice at all.

    Thank you. How long does mirtazepine take to work? And I'm now terrified of taking any other pill, does it have scary side effects? I'm 32 and have had on off depression over the years. Took fluoxetine for five years from my early to mid 20s but haven't used it for about 6 years. Low-ish sex...

    Thank you for this post. I'm trying to stay calm. Today has been the worst day though, can't even watch tv, seems too distressing/noisy. My whole body feels like it's shutting down. Body temp has been up and down randomly since the crash too. Thank you. I can barely move off the couch. When I...
