I am wondering we all got side effects after quitting SP\fin\dut. and for most of use symptoms become sever after 5-6 months.
is it possible that these drugs altered our body response in such a way that it has stopped\lowered production of Testosterone without these drugs? I am saying this because there was a user GimZim who got side effects from SP and after some time he started again and claimed he got better. similarly I today found another user on a hairlosshelp.com who after sides started SP again here it is user Dobo

"Ok, it wasn't the SP. After quitting SP I had a brief period where my symptoms seemed to be lessening but they eventually came back, so I am going to get my junk checked out soon.

What did change was that my libido went down, I guess I have been on SP so long that I have become dependent on it. So after I did some more reading about it, I decided to go back on it, I wonder if I stayed off of it for long enough I would come back to square... Anyways, libido is kicking it old school again and the evil penis in my mind is preaching it's sermons regularly, and then there is this too:

I also noticed the 'quality' of my hair got worse, I didn't experience any extra shedding but it was looking more lifeless and I was having some itching on the scalp. All have started to change back to normal after being on it again for about two weeks.

Steady as she goes, I'll post back here with any new news.

Guys keep an eye on this guy and I will pm him as well.

I think this is a fair question. I myself have modest side effects (some drop in libido, loss of morning erections) and struggled with the decision to continue or go off the drug after 11 years. One one hand, my side effects have progressed over the years and I'd hate to see that trend continue. On the other hand, this forum is littered with people who got worse after quitting.
