Man’s Life RUINED by Finasteride at just 20 Years Old (13 Years Later)

[@DT-et8vk]

Thank you for your bravery and speaking out and being a voice for the many men ( some who are longer with us. ) who suffer with this disease!

[@JetPackFlame]

13 years with only minor improvements. Such a cruel syndrome. Thanks for speaking out and sharing your story, Morten. I hope research progresses quickly and provides you with some relief soon.

[@astongrad930]

His story remarkably mimics mine and have suffered the same period at the same age

[@andywilson5677]

Thanks for sharing your experience Morten. You did a great job of describing everything extremely clearly. I'm really sorry this happened to you. Something similar happened to me from taking an SSRI for a few months. It totally ruined my life in a way that most people won't understand. I hope videos like this will go some way to raise awareness of these iatrogenic illnesses. Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.

13/14 year veteran here, stay strong brother

[@dyonbakker4630]

you mean you have had side effects for 13 years now?

[@Clarity_of_Light]

Thank you for telling your story Morten! You might save some peoples life cause you are so brave to speak up!

[@maximilian8339]

Thank you for speaking out about this terrible condition 🙏

[@yuksell]

Powerful video, thank you for your clear explanation.

[@ryanclark5193]

Great job Morten, very well articulated, thank you for stepping up and for all of your efforts in pushing this harrowing disease to the foreground. Much love and respect

[@AC-ns4gu]

Thanks for sharing your story Morten 🙏

[@blakemalin2597]

Thank you

[@kelseymj1975]

That sounds very scary. Thank you for posting this.

[@alannamarohnic4722]

Thank you for sharing your story. I pray this video gets a million views. What a frightening reaction to a drug.

[@anonymuz7791]

Thanks for speakin out . Pfs ruined my life

[@ethanbaggoo1513]

I'm sorry you've suffered for so long Morten

[@Fozzz15]

20K on supplements? You gotta be crazy. Supplements are very much overrated in PFS and in general. Thanks for speaking up Morten. It's a brave act to tell your story here and It's good that you stay positive despite all these devastating symptoms.

[@C1arnal-c2x]

It is an expression of the helplessness one feels because of the symptoms. But hopefully it gets better, maybe with the regeneration capacities of the human body.

[@zuu1701]

Much love to you Morten. We will find a cure one day. Keep fighting with us.

[@TheRoarWithin]

I have the exact same symptoms, albeit from Accutane. 18/19 years on… it doesn’t get better.

[@vrd5911]

Hold in there brother

[@emello4you]

Yeah the side effects definately arn't worth it and it's a lot more common than people think. Nov 2017 after 3 months taking the drug, the blood flow to the penis was completely blocked off and the penis couldn't erect at all. Absolutely ZERO. So I tried Nofap/Semen retention that I had been watching videos on for over a year at the time and did it for an entire year and luckily it all came back to normal like I was in high school again. Don't anybody ever get on this drug. Some people might be resistant at first and maybe for a long time but I'm telling you this right now. Eventually the side effects will kick in.

[@sahadhura8927]

Did you get your hair back?

[@emello4you]

@@sahadhura8927 some of it yeah but the hair mainly stopped falling out and got real thick again. I went from losing 100+ hairs a day to only 10-15 and that's if I wash it.

[@emello4you]

@@sahadhura8927 some yeah. But mainly the hair thickened a lot and went from losing 100+ hairs to only 10-15. At 42 losing my hair since 20 I'm only a norwood 2 so not bad.

[@jigitbigit3088]

It ruined my life too

[@shahrukhraja73]

How??

[@thejoyofcroy]

Sorry you suffered so long I also had pfs a long time but I recivered libido for many years Stupidly I took seroquel for mild stress based insomnia and crashed back into a deeper hole even than the first time. God knows how ill survive this. We need MONEY for FULL TIME RESEARCH and a CURE.

[@nikolaoschif436]

I see many people here who have taken this medicine while they have a lot of hair 🥲

[@bobmarley9712]

He took finasteride 20yrs ago and stopped but how's he then kept all thia hair?

[@furu1704]

Why don’t women lose their hair?

[@familyfirst7027]

His hair wasn't bad when he started meaning like others he probably didn't need it in the first place

[@nothinggood000]

@@familyfirst7027correction, it’s not that he probably didn’t need it, he absolutely did not need it. This is his current state of hair 13 years after realizing he’s having hair loss to the point he was proactive about it? Ridiculous.

[@antoneckhart4010]

​@@nothinggood000your hormones not longer work so your hair stops falling out. The body is way more complicated than you can understand.

[@emello4you]

Because he's unable to have sex and sex is the key factor in rapid hairloss.

[@newaccent1973]

thankyou for your bravery in speaking out... this drug needs to be banned at the nearest opportunity.

[@mickrick84]

what has been discovered so far through DNA comparison: - almost 3800 Genes affected (Genes completely or partially silenced by changes in the epigenes) - of the above around 185 Genes of the brain affected there is hope that the alreaday existing drug against post pregnancy depression will help men suffering from PFS. Tests started this year are ongoing and should end fall of 2026 MPO: don't try any drug unless it's proven what really helps against PFS

[@brentpope100]

Your story is the same as mine, only Accutane,

[@dakuxhunterorsongoku5255]

i have same issues bro at 19 now after taking Accutane 😭😭😭😭

[@brunothuin8586]

You look good and you're agreeable to watch though man... You did what you had to do : testify. As I say PFS is above all a clinical failure. Doctors are supposed to be responsible here we should push them to at least report and get knowledgeable about the disease, and act up any way they can. There's gotta be full recognition and government implication in the research. Patients have done litterally everything so far. It's about time Drs understood we don't need them to find a treatment that doesn't exist, but ring the alarm, report and take action some day...

[@astongrad930]

To the guy experiencing his symptoms, please look into hcg and trt. Also check out Ryan Russo’s recovery when on lions mane, it seems as if he got pfs from using that and he is now 90% recovered

[@mortenskov1802]

Research is the path forward! 😊

[@matty96465]

Yeah, how about not. Literally everyone has tried these therapies. Our issues are more deeply rooted.

[@TheGutshotpro]

TRT+hCG in combination can assist in some instances, however the body returns to the former disrupted state upon cessation (up and down-regulation of epigenetic signals). More study is needed to ascertain exactly what is ocurring here. If you find TRT is providing benefit for you personally, then perhaps it is worthwhile continuing. Consider regular bloodwork and intermittent hCG to try and keep your natural production running. Individual responses vary, so best to discuss with an Endocrinologist (or similar) who has experience in TRT. If they don't, then find someone else.

[@TheJuvek1]

No doubt propecia still doing it's job. Guy is full of hair even 13 years later.....

[@hggjgj1292]

I mean stopping hairloss is one of finasteride’s side effects, if the other side effects stayed it would make sense that one did too

[@__racz]

reputable derms or health care providers advise against 5 ar inhibitors before the age of 26..

[@mexicancookie7622]

I took fin and now I’m a reptile. It literally can make you another species. It has made my life so hard because most people don’t want to hangout with me now that I’m a lizard.

[@laniakeas92]

I find it interesting men who get those symptoms are mostly very ipochondric, empathetic and self concious. I think there are some symptoms which are caused by finasteride, but majority of those are psychosomatic, like emotional, peoblems with libido and depression. I'm very empathetic self concious person, once I almost made myself believe I have dissociative identity disorder and started experiencing symptoms of it. Icluding physical sensations. I'm not saying finasteride doesnt cause any sides. They are definitely there but as I said, majority of those are a brain trick.

[@Jayt9813]

I got terrible PFS when I quit fin for no reason after 8 years. That's not psychosomatic

[@killamanjarho]

I think it’s simply coincidence or something to do with the general sensitivity of our bodies. It’s not a brain trick, I can’t even use my brain to think clearly, let alone delude myself into thinking I have a systemic life altering medical condition out of nowhere.

[@bigmac-ln8sm]

People who are highly sensitive or have aspergers Seem to have a different Makeup than "normal" people and are therefore more likely to develop pfs/pssd. That doesn't mean it's psychosomatic.

[@SeanSean-jp9hg]

@@Jayt9813how are you now

[@Clarity_of_Light]

Genital numbness isn't psychosomatic and is one of the more common pfs symptoms according to everything I have read. Too many cases to believe it's just psychosomatic. There is a clear pattern here that shows that there most certainly is a connection between usage of fin and other pharmaceuticals which can induce such medical conditions.
