propecia and brain fog

I have not taken any of these products for several years now. However, the brain fog seemed to develop while taking Minoxidil and perhaps Propecia. As time passes I hear more and more about the negative health effects of these drugs. Basically I have no clue where to begin, I am frustrated both with my symptoms and doctors inability to help. I have considered things like STD's, Lyme Disease, Toxic Mold Poisoning and even tried to pursue these things.

“Women who are or may potentially be pregnant must not use PROPECIA and should not handle crushed or broken PROPECIA tablets because the active ingredient may cause abnormalities of a male baby's sex organs. If a woman who is pregnant comes into contact with the active ingredient in PROPECIA, a doctor should be consulted. PROPECIA tablets are coated and will prevent contact with the active ingredient during normal handling, provided that the tablets are not broken or crushed.

Hello, It has been found that the sexual side effects associated with the hair loss medication like Propecia, includes problems with libido, ejaculations and orgasm and it could last even after patients stop taking the drug which may be months to years. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.

13 years ago, I had a tick bite and suffered 15-day high fever. The brain fog lasted for less than a year after recovering from the fever. 3 years later after the recovery, I had another brain fog and this time it lasted almost 9 years. It turned out I had a root canal infection in my upper jaw. I was cured in Summer 2013. Also mold infested environment can cause brain fog.

difficulty concentrating, moody, lethargic -- it feels like I don't fully awaken Symptoms: - Difficulty getting out of bed due to a tired, lazy feeling (but, I do awaken without an alarm) - The problem is mostly related to mental energy and not physical energy - The lazy feeling continues through the day, but slowly diminishes as the day progresses - By afternoon I am functional, sometimes feel pretty good - In the evening I feel good - Symptoms are very consistent and the worst in the wi

Many people report very tolerable side effects and there lives mostly go on as planned while on TX. My husband is one that has very bad SX (possibly due to cirrhosis) and he definitely gets brain fog on TX, but it isn't like he drives somewhere and doesn't know how he got there, it is more like he drives some where and doesn't care how he got there and every one on the way makes him mad:>( He is usually a mellow guy but his interferon personality is not quite as charming.

recently ive started having trouble concentrating on almost everything and have a habit of zoning out, so my mindset is essentially one thats on cruise contrtol. my forte is writing and i think brain fog has in fact made me a very good writer, but ive suffered in other areas of school due to the fact that i dont have the drive or the attention span to do the work. what should i do?

it takes every bit of me physically and mentally to get up and out of bed and into the shower. I literally make myself get ready and get outside in the sun. Take a walk, or a drive or just sit otside and read a book. The chemcials in your brain will start to recover from the addiction and one morning you will wake up and just "feel" again... And that's the best feeling in the world. Good luck and God bless.

I am 19 and think I am suffering from this. It came on a couple of weeks ago when the doc said I had an upper respiratory infection which then put me on antibiodics. My chest feels better but my brain fog is still somewhat here. It comes on when I start to exert myself. Today I took a nap and when I woke up I felt almost normal again. Can anyone help me and let me know what is going on with my body it is really depressing.

Im a freshman at college and i dont know what im struggling with! I chose to go to a college 2 hours from my home town last fall by myself (meaning no friends or acquaintances from my highschool) and ever since i have not been feeling the same. I feel foggy all the time and can't think straight. I am not really aware of my surroundings and catch my self drifting off into my thoughts.

from anxiety but the brain fog still lingers, its not quite like depersonalization but i get what ur trying to say there is kina like a fog at the forefront of your brain? take vitamin b comlex and omega 3 fishoils they help out alot! hope you get better!

Help! I have had a "hazey feeling" behind my forehead that for 13 years, but I took Klonopin 2 mg and the symptoms went away. The KLonopin stopped working 8 months ago and the "brain fog" has been so bad thsat I lost my job and attempted suicide. I need help fast. I have had all the test possible: eeg, mris, Cts, etc. all negative. I can't concentrate, it is hard to talk, hard to think, please help.

Greetings and welcome to the forum! Which meds were you taking? The Peg and the Riba or a protease inhibitor as well? And more importantly, did you clear the virus? :) Thirty days is not very long to be off the Peg & Riba. The last time I treated I did not notice I had normal thoughts and did not feel funky was a good six months after I treated. Don't get me wrong since I felt better and better every day. The brain fog wore off in about two months.

Serious fatigue and brain fog have been the constant side effects. No rash thank goodness as yet. Vomiting started a week and a half ago but the doctor gave him a prescription for the nausea and it has stopped. Because of his hospitalizations for hepatic encephalopathy, I am seriously concerned about this brain fog. He has not gone out in weeks except for a doctor's visit last week. We are waiting for the blood work results which should take a few more days.

can brain fog put pressure on your driving,and whilst on tx ,do any of the meds have any adverse effects while driving ,(can you still drive)

I went to a Neurologist and got a sleep deprived EEG. I have abnormal spiking in my frontal lobe, which shows that I am pre-epileptic and pre-seizure. I think it's been exhausting my brain. Getting an MRI and an MRA this week as well to rule out a tumor and to see if I have vascularitis. Having vascularitis would show that Crohn's is linked to my neurological problem, though it's rare. I'm also starting Keppra, and anticonvulsive.

I want to note that I suffered fog head, bad concentration from Hep for a few years (before dx and tx) and that now 8 weeks post tx, as the brain fog is lifting, I’ve noticed I have better clarity, concentration as also proven today, 1st day back to work and I handled the multitasking, adding, etc. very well. Funny, was just telling my sister that on my way home tonight. The soooo fuzzy brain is another side to deal with. Hopefully it’ll lighten up. Do eat, drink well.

I have not begun tx. However, it seems that my brain fog has built up gradually over 5 or 6 years--and some folks have reported that their post-tx brain fog lifted after recovering from the side effects of tx.

You mean CRS? Oh yea, and I dont even have to be on med's. Seriously, there are alot of medication's that kind of interupt the memory stage of the brain. Antideprssents or antianxiety medications are known for this.

So, While there reading this thread I remembered there was mention on the thyroid forum about Brain Fog and at the time I read the thyroid thing I thought Brain Fog was something else and not quite me. So, again, Is Brain Fog part of hypothyroidism? and if so What is Brain Fog? just in case it is something different from the ear problem "brain fog".

i just started having brain fog, i was on my way to work, when i stopped at the ATM and could not remeber my pin number. i am sitting at my desk, and i just can't remember it??? i feel like i cant complete a sentence or thought? has this happened to anyone else?

I easily get distracted or lose attention for what I'm doing. For example, I'll have all my medicine out on the table to take. I'll pick up one pill, and take it, and drink my entire drink. Then, I'll look down at the table and find that I haven't taken any of my other pills because I forgot what I was doing. It is kind of strange.

Thanks Jim, why doesn't he fly your way! I do hope he isn't a pilot. That wouldn't be good with brain fog. My brain fog was so bad sometimes I wouldn't drive. It would seem that a leave of absence would be the way to go, or cut your losses as Jim says and try again when the PI come out and tx is shorter.

Do this exercise everyday, and you will gradually feel the brain clearing. The extra oxygen is helping the left and right brain to feel more active. Build up your timing gradually.If you feel tired or dizzy, stop and resume after one minute.

Earlier this year (prior to discovering I had active hepatitis B), I began treatment for ADD and depression ... as I was becoming increasingly distressed about my inability to concentrate, focus, or organize any part of my life. I still feel as though I'm always just getting by ... trying not to let things fall through the cracks (i.e., paying bills on time, doing laundry, keeping up w/my billable hours (I'm an attorney), etc.).
