First of all, brain fog is psychological that you haven't experienced it before starting, so if you're talking about internet ghost stories, please don't read it.
It's a side effect I felt myself, and the pharmaceutical company hasn't officially acknowledged it yet, but there are people who complain of the same side effect on sites called Daemo or Hair loss Gallery overseas reddit. I think brain fog is difficult to prove because it is a symptom that is difficult to identify as a mental symptom. It is not considered true until proven scientifically That's the essence of science.
Three to seven days after quitting the hair loss medicine, it becomes fine, but as soon as you take the hair loss medicine, the degree becomes worse, and you experience memory loss, cognitive impairment, glare, extreme depression, weaponry, and concentration disorders. I stopped taking medicine several times and took it I tried it, but it was the same
There is nothing to say to those who say no-shibo and psychological personality, so please press back.
I'm the one who stopped taking hair loss pills due to side effects of brain fog.
The first time I took it, I was fine for three days, and I had a serious brain fog
I stopped taking the medication and got better 3 days later so I took it again and I got brain fog again.
I stopped taking the medication and tried all 0.5 / 0.25 / 0.125 mg and got the same brain fog.
The difference was the severity of brain fog symptoms
When I tried 0.125mg, I had the least brain fog symptoms.
I've changed my medication to avodat and taken all the nutritional supplements known to block DHT, including physium and sofalmetto
The same brain fog symptoms have occurred.
And lastly
Improving your diet (never eating greasy food + eating vegetables + black beans unconditionally) and avoiding stress (roll), eating Yeongji mushroom hwan 3 times a day, and shiitake mushrooms once a day
I tried this way, but I got another brain fog
However, it is definitely in better condition than when I took the medicine.
After looking up a lot of papers, newspaper articles
I was able to roughly figure out the cause of the brain fog.
Earlier this year, I saw a newspaper article that said that the hair loss drug pharmaceutical company recognized the side effects of mental phenomena such as depression that had not been recognized.
The reason is that DHT functions to convert a hormone called pregnenoline into a hormone that is involved in other cognitive abilities, but DHT is blocked, so it lacks the hormones necessary for cognitive ability.
So why do some people have brain fog or all sorts of side effects and some people are fine?
According to the article, young people are generally vulnerable to mental side effects.
What's the difference between young people and relatively old people
Although he is not a person in the medical profession and has no professional knowledge, in my opinion, I think it is 'the amount of DHT'.
I'm 25 years old this year and I'm quite young among hair loss people.
Before the hair loss, I didn't have much hair on my body
Considering that DHT hormones work on the growth of body hair, I guess I was born a person who didn't produce a lot of DHT in my body.
The cause of the hair loss was, I think, extreme stress after discharge + smoking start + reversal of day and night + diet like animals.
Some of the above factors may not actually be the cause of hair loss, but I think it's reliable because it's relatively proven that stress and fatty food cause a lot of DHT.
I heard that hair loss is caused by DHT acting on pores when it is secreted more than necessary by the body.
On your own about the cause of the brain fog.
"There's not a lot of DHT in the body naturally, but it's a bad lifestyle, and a lot of DHT is secreted, causing hair loss.
So I took the medicine, but it blocked more DHT than I needed
Hasn't the brainfog side effect occurred?"
I made a hypothesis like this.
It means that people who have no side effects even if they take the drug already have enough DHT to prevent problems with the normal functioning of their bodies, even though they have reduced DHT with the drug.
Doctors may also support my argument to control the dose, such as splitting pinasteride or taking it every other day as a way to resolve the side effects of brainfog symptoms.
I think nutritional supplements, and diet, have blocked DHT more than necessary.
In fact, I've been aware of hair loss since last year, but I've heard from my girlfriend that the top of my head seems to have improved a little when I avoided stress and only did a vegetarian diet. I didn't feel any brainfog back then.
Maybe it's because I'm a little relieved after that, but I'm stressed out by restarting the game I didn't play, and my diet is going back to the way it used to be, so I think my head got worse in an instant than last time..
So, in the future, I will watch the progress of brain fog and hair loss while controlling the intake of mushrooms.
I hope it helps those who have experienced brain fog and if you have anything in common, I would appreciate it if you could comment.
I wonder if you are young or if you had a lot of body hair before the hair loss came.
