    Default Bad Fin Sides, looking for insight.

    Hi everyone, I posted this on reddit but with no replies so I'm posting here hoping someone can give me some insight into what I'm going through.
    I'm writing this not to bash finasteride or to say it doesn't work in any way or even that you shouldn't try it, but for information. I got on fin around four months ago when I noticed shedding and a bit of thinning around my crown. I didn't really experience any sides other than the usual bit of ball ache and watery ejaculate the first couple of months. This was all grand until last Saturday when I couldn't get it up when trying to rub one out. I didn't really think much of it as was on my way out to meet friends but my low libido persisted the next day (extremely rare when I'm hungover) and then again on Monday. It was at this stage I decided to stop the drug. Since then I've had a boner twice, both times it was at maybe 80℅ and only when I've watched porn intensively. I get zero from manual stimulation or sexual thoughts and my dick feels quite rubbery and I can't get it up (also no morning wood). The past few days have gotten worse as my energy levels have dropped drastically and I find it hard to get out of bed with the brain fog and fatigue (seriously feel like I've got the flu or something). This might be explained by getting very little sleep at night due to worry but bad sleep seems to also be a symptom listed on the propeciahelp website. The reason I'm not posting there its generally for people suffering from side effects lasting over 3 months. I guess the information that I'm looking for is whether anyone has had as bad as symptoms as me when getting off the drug and made a full recovery? It says on the above website that the majority of people get over it within a month or two but I'm worried given how bad my symptoms have been over the past week. Thanks in advance for any help.
    Again I'm not making a judgement on the substance here or on anyone who takes it.
