It’s possible that some of your symptoms might not be related to finasteride, but it’s important to consider each factor contributing to your condition. Finasteride can cause side effects, though typically they involve sexual dysfunction, mood changes, or depression, rather than the combination of symptoms you’re experiencing. It’s also important to note that stress and emotional changes from your recent breakup can have a significant impact on your physical health, leading to symptoms like anxiety, headaches, and fatigue. Given your thirst and dizziness, it’s essential to rule out conditions such as diabetes or dehydration, which could potentially cause increased thirst, fatigue, and dizziness. I recommend scheduling an appointment with your healthcare provider to conduct a thorough evaluation, including blood tests to assess glucose levels and possibly renal function. Also, ensure you’re drinking adequate fluids and maintaining a balanced diet. Addressing stress and mood swings might benefit from mindfulness techniques, counseling, or short-term medical intervention if necessary. For pain, over-the-counter pain relievers might offer temporary relief, but discussing your symptoms with a doctor is crucial to understanding the underlying cause. Don’t delay seeking medical attention, as comprehensive examination is key to avoiding potential complications.

Why are you taking finasteride ?
Hello,
Finasteride was taken for only 4 days and stopped : permanent damage is very unlikely.
Common temporary effects from stress and finasteride include anxiety, mood swings, dizziness, headache, fatigue, abdominal discomfort, thirst, and body ache
Ongoing worry can amplify symptoms
What to do now: Do not restart finasteride for now Focus on nervous system calming (slow breathing, regular sleep, gentle activity) Stay hydrated, eat small regular meals, avoid caffeine and junk food Use warm compress and gentle stretching for back pain Avoid constant symptom checking
If symptoms last beyond 1–2 weeks, see a doctor for basic tests (CBC, kidney function, urine, BP) mainly for reassurance.
Seek urgent care only if there is severe pain, vomiting, fainting, high fever, or urinary problems.
I trust this helps Thank you
Hi Ayoub,
Thanks for reaching out and sharing what you’re going through.Your symptoms (anxiety, mood swings, dizziness, headache, fatigue, back and abdominal pain) need proper evaluation and should not be ignored.
Some of these can be related to stress from the breakup, but medicines like finasteride can also cause mood and sexual side effects in some people.
Please tell more:
Why are you taking finasteride (hair loss, prostate, or something else)? What exact dose and brand are you taking, and for how many days in total? Any other medicines, alcohol, smoking, or substances you are using?
Till then, avoid restarting finasteride on your own, stay well hydrated, and if pain or dizziness is severe, visit an emergency/nearest doctor immediately.
