Well I would assume halflife matter since it will affect how long it takes to feel better. 2 weeks after dropping fin you feel better right away until you crash so who knows how that works with something that stays in the system for weeks slowly eliminating instead of rapidly.

I honestly have no clue what the guys name was haha
It was on a random blog site n he took dutasteride and some antibiotic together that he claimed cured him

So you mean he cured his pfs WITH dut?Or have you meant PAS?

I've noticed that I even have hair-loss, and am tempted to try finasteride after hearing this news. This state that I've been in for so long has led me to a point where I'm barely hanging on to my own life.

So I'm taking finasteride about 40 days this time, yesterday I started to reduce the dosage because I decided to stop already, I will keep the lowest dose for another 4 days and I will stop, whatever happens or I will notice you

I'm not that far along yet. But I was able to make a plan -- and I certainly only had fleeting plans and wasn't as committed before then.
Water fasting helped me a lot. A while ago I had suciidal thoughts like 24-7, and awoke with worsened vision, unable to digest/tolerate any foods. I wasn't shaving or even getting ready.
Like I said I have a long road ahead of me still, but water fasting did turn those thoughts off for the most part. Can this help accutane too? I swear even mood disorder stuff - others and myself have done better with various fasting patterns (people who are avidly against meds and need relief somehow). Whether I truly have a clinical mood disorder or not, fasting one day and staying up all night does turn those thoughts off (in normal times). Along with staying busy. Working hard to make a brighter future (obviously this part is beyond severe depression, but working towards that).

PAS and PFS are different than that (and hopefully not forever), but maybe @cnb30 you can fast for a bit, refeed, and then take fin (or some other better protocol for PAS that I do not know about). -Maybe the electrolyte protocol.
If you can't fast then, maybe just try the fin. Maybe some doctor knows about this in your area, as some do treat PAS with fin. Otherwise you can order it online.

I was more depressed than ever I think a few months ago. Much more than my "normal" fleeting thoughts (which were still lower mood than a lot of ppl). It was like when I was on Ativan briefly while on effexor -- it made me acutely suicidal (like one day), with worsened racing thoughts (had since 16 or so). I threw the accutane away and later effexor. I think after a couple years (with lessened and lessened thoughts about), I never really had long lasting thoughts especially when exercising daily. It didn't fix everything and I still have issues, pfs or not. But, it normalizes things a lot. This recent depression was worse, because it literally made it very hard to live or even get out bed. Lessened a lot now..

Yes, I also posted here the guy who cured PFS from going back on fin as well. Basically what he did was take it for a short period of time then get off it. When he got off it, he would feel good or back to normal for like a short time period (like most ppl do before the crash), then he crashed and once he crashed he went back on fin again. He just repeated that process, I think like 3 times and then he just never crashed after the third time.

friends, on the day I said I would lower the dose for 5 days and stop, I did not do it, I decreased the dose only for one day and stopped taking it, wanted to try it that way and it also seems that finasteride was disturbing my gut, I had a diarrhea that did not get better, it was just me to lower the dose and stop taking and the diarrhea improved.
So, getting into the subject of recovery, this was the second time I took finasteride for a time, this time it was about 40 days, today is 8 days I stopped taking and it seems that my libido and energy is a little better, I am getting getting excited with the thought now a little, after accutane never got it again, it seems that my penis had no connection with my mind, I get to have sex normally, but I already could even before trying finasteride
apparent improvements (libido, energy and digestion, about 10% improvement)
continues the same (anhedonia, despersonalization, no morning erections after waking, emotions and enthusiasm are still practically nonexistent: /)
I do not know if I'm going to take finasteride again, maybe I'll try it again for a while, but first I'll try the gbold protocol for electrolytes and diet and I'll also use copper to try some improvement in my emotions which is what I lack the most
sorry for something typed wrong, im brazilian and I depend on a translator

So the results haven't been as significant as we would have hoped. Thanks for trying the FIN and letting us know namelk.

boys, I seem to be having a considerable increase in libido for about two days, but in a different way, I still do not have morning or spontaneous erections, but the response to touch and thinking has improved a lot, I'm not having any problems for sex and erections during are 100%, sensitivity seems to be increased as well, but only that changed, anhedonia, despersonalization, everything remains the same

I only felt that way if I spent about 4 to 6 days without having sex or masturbation, now I kind of feel that same every day even doing a day before, but it is in the different way as I described above
