  • Kelly shares her story about her late husband John, who tragically took his life after developing Post Finasteride Syndrome.
    Post-Finasteride Syndrome is the current term for a rare syndrome characterized by devastating physical, neurological, and sexual side effects that persist and progress even after stopping finasteride. This condition occurs primarily in younger men who have taken the drug to treat hair loss, and there is currently no effective treatment available.
    PFS has a disastrous impact on patients, their families, and their friends. It often leads to disability, isolation, and even suicide. Every person is valuable, and everyone deserves to make a fully informed choice about their health.
    More research into Post-Finasteride Syndrome is desperately needed. Learn more about and support the newest scientific initiative here: www.pfsnetwork.org/science

    Your Story Matters! If you are a suffering patient experiencing post-androgen deprivation syndrome (PADS), triggered by Finasteride, Accutane (Isotretinoin), Antidepressants, or other anti-androgenic substances, please consider sharing your story with us.

    If you think about it. Knowing the fact that even touching the bottle already creates birth defects... How can we possibly think anything good can come out of ingesting what is IN the bottle on a daily basis. Condolences to the family. Pretty randomly: If you study the NDE topic deeply and with an open mind you will come to the conclusion that your husband is doing absolutely amazingly right now. And so will all of you. Peace and love.

    Kelly, thank you very much for defending your husband and therefore also defending us, you are an incredible and very strong woman, few people in the world have dared to challenge big pharma in order to know the truth. Without a doubt you are a special family. What you show of John's long-term planning is the greatest proof that exists that he was a person with ambitions and a desire to live who was hit by an injustice and by believing in the system like so many of us.
    I'm sure John is proud of his family and you. A big hug.

    I started to develop panic attacks when I switched from fin to dut. Evidently, it was dut that made me crash with PFS only a few months after starting. When I crashed I literally could not sleep for days on end (would be awake for 2-4 days straight) and was violently shaking all day with racing thoughts, anxiety, feeling freezing shivering cold, etc. the insomnia was horrific, I’d lay in bed shaking watching the days go by. I’d maybe get an hour of sleep every 2-4 days then be awoken suddenly shaking again.
    Thank you for sharing you and your husband’s and your family’s story. And remembering him and honoring his memory and story.

    Just terrible, this poor lady. DO NOT STOP the drug cold turkey guys'. I went through the same issues when stopping the drug. The reality is I am back on the drug, but back to take an antidepressant. Once you start the drug, it might be best to take less each week. Maybe tapering off the drug very slowly is an option I would believe. Once you start the drug though, you REALLY have to be cognizant/diligent about making sure your mental health is check. I am also not a doctor, and this post is not to be used for medical purposes, only for entertainment.
