if I were younger and wanted children I wouldn’t be able to father them. What is it worth to be able to have children?
I was prescribed Finasteride in 2010. I took it for 3 months […] The side effects were a nightmare. First was the depression. I couldn’t shake it. I had times when I thought of suicide. The next thing my performance at work—way below what it had previously been. I kept wondering what was wrong with me. Then I started developing physical effects. My breasts enlarged and had lumps in them. My penis receded until I had to push the shin back to get hold of it so I could urinate. My sleep became less restful with more waking periods. I experienced hot flashes. My Doctor sent me to another Doctor who prescribed Testosterone Cream. This made the swelling in my breasts recede. I’m now also taking medication and counseling for depression. All these effects are still with me. We have had our children, but if I were younger and wanted children I wouldn’t be able to father them. What is it worth to be able to have children? What is it worth to be able to have a normal sex life?
