Ten days of topical finasteride
Konrad used topical finasteride for 10 days.
Before that he describes himself as healthy, strong and disciplined. He worked hard, travelled, cared for his family and looked after his body.
What Konrad describes
- Panic attacks and insomnia.
- Cognitive dysfunction and anhedonia (the inability to feel pleasure).
- Being dismissed by doctors who did not recognise what he was describing.
He says he understood the drug to be safe. What he describes is something almost nobody else can see.
