I guarantee you will notice a vast improvement in your mental state when not taking the medication. But if you want to prove it to yourself, stop taking the drug for two weeks and see how you feel. It is an "undocumented" side effect of the drug. Pregnancy and menopause are also times when hormone levels fluctuate, which can lead to brain fog and fatigue. During puberty, hormonal changes can lead to fatigue and difficulty concentrating. So to answer your question - yes others have experienced this. Changes in hormones can cause symptoms of brain fog and fatigue, and a host of other issues. I and many others, like you, experienced the exact same symtoms when we took it - slow to think, memory issues, tiredness, felt like viewing life through a filter, passive, emotionally flat, felt as if in a semi-"drunken" state. you are foolish to dismiss these symptoms as due to sleep deprivation. Plus the fact the drug has been linked to depression (look it up on Google). "Finasteride has been recovered in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients treated with a 7-10 day course of finasteride." "Finasteride has been found to cross the blood-brain barrier." AND has been found to cross the blood brain barrier as well as been found in Cerebral Spinal Fluid, as documented by MERCK themselves. Can lead to increased Estradiol via blocking of DHT / aromatization of extra/increased Testosterone to Estradiol Can lead to an accumulation of Progesterone Reduces NOS (nitric oxide synthase) via inhibition of DHT blocks 5ARII reduction of dihydrodeoxycorticosterone (THDOC) blocks 5ARII reduction of dihydroprogesterone blocks Progesterone -> Allopregnanolone conversion Diseases commonly associated with CFS include anxiety and depression, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and allergies or drug sensitivities. Based on scientific studies, we do know that Finasteride: Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a condition that involves profound, long-term fatigue, brain fog, and other symptoms. Since Finasteride does more than just block DHT (for more info see Finasteride Studies section on ) and in fact interferes with the conversion of various OTHER 5AR-reduced metabolites which are found in the brain, it makes sense. This is a very real side effect of Finasteride, as documented anecdotally here.
