I'm back from the GP. Sent an online form to the #NHS surgery at 08:50 today, at 09:20 I got a text with an appointment at 10:30. Went in to see the GP at 10:20. Can't fault that. He was absolutely convinced that the low mood I've been experiencing, alongside the occasional nightmares, and slightly odd behaviour, are all due to the Finesteride I was prescribed for my enlarged prostate. He implied that I shouldn't have been prescribed it because of my history of depression. He agreed that I'm right to stop taking it, but the mood issues may not resolve quickly. I'm waiting for a referral to a Urologist now. Result! #Finesteride #BPH #MentalHealth #Depression

Mental Health Hover or focus to reveal Sensitive
I wrote the other day that i think the #Finesteride tablets for my prostate are making me depressed. Well, something is. I've stopped taking them Plus I've realised that I've made some odd, impulsive decisions and purchases. This isn't like me. I am increasingly feeling like I'm wading through treacle. No energy to sustain anything constructive. I'm definitely contacting the GP tomorrow. #BPH #MentalHealth

I've decided to stop talking my Finesteride medication which was prescribed for my enlarged prostate. I'll contact the GP on Monday. I've noticed my mood going downhill this week, and depression is a side effect of this stuff that gets serious warnings (that I shrugged off). I guess I'm out of medical options and it'll be a long wait for a Urologist appointment. #BPH #prostate #Finesteride
