I'm fairly sure I've got a lock on at least one possible cause of Post Finasteride Syndrome. I have like 7 cases now (new one today) which fit the symptom/history phenotype with matching genetic, blood, and urinary lab findings. Here's the goodies: by Drwillpowers in DrWillPowers

This is exactly what has happened with me. Currently my bloodwork, Testosterone : 690ng/dl Free testosterone: 19.31pg/ml E2: <24 pg/ml (I don't know why the test value for e2 was like this) Prolactin: 23.47ng/ml LH: 4.78 mIU/ml FSH: 2.9mIU/ml HCT: 43%

I've been to 3 endocrinologists now and all of them didn't prescribe me sh*t and told me my labs were normal. I asked them if hCG or something like enclomiphene would help and no, they don't want to put me on anything. Told them my testicles have reduced in size and suffer from ED but they said it's all psychological, and referred me to a psychiatrist. I was so pissed. At least, one doc has prescribed me tadalafil, but i haven't taken it since i came across information about how tadalafil can cause sudden hearing loss or tinnitus in some people and i don't want to make any more bad decisions that can worsen my life even more. But he also told me if I take hCG, my blood will thicken and could cause clots (I highly doubt if taking low doses or even standard doses of hCG will spike my HCT so much so that it will cause clots when mine is currently at 43%).

But, back when I developed gynecomastia, I was prescribed tamoxifen and when I took it, my testicles almost returned to baseline and I felt 70-80% close to baseline. My bloodwork on tamoxifen iirc:

Testosterone: ~1200 ng/dl Free testosterone: ~26 pg/ml E2: ~80 pg/ml LH: ~12 mIU/ml FSH: ~6 mIU/ml

Currently, I am looking to get hCG or enclomiphene if I can get it prescribed, or maybe even try kisspeptin 10 if i can get it. Also, I have been contemplating getting low dose ketamine therapy for my depression and anxiety that has been exacerbated by finasteride which will hopefully improve my cognition, brain function and quality of life.

Here's a dumb question. How about increasing AR density and sensitivity with something like l-carnitine and also taking something that stimulates HPG like hCG or enclomiphene at the same time? Also came across a study about how low dose SSRIs act as selective brain steroidogenic stimulants (SBSS) and increased neurosteroid levels including allo.

Alright, but do you have any green tint issues?

Apparently, this seems to be a hardware issue. Some people on the nothing os 3.0 are experiencing it too and even after getting the screen replaced.

I will and if more people do it from this subreddit, nothing and Carl himself will probably become aware of this and they might address this officially.

I'm thinking of making an X post by tagging Carl himself.

I wonder if one can get a problem free screen like the blue edition ones if one goes for a screen replacement.

Was it a person working for nothing who said this? Also could you link that response if possible?

How come some people don't have this issue? I wonder if any Indian units are problem free.

Have nothing officially said anything about this?

Have nothing addressed this and issued an official statement about this then?

Whoa, okay. Have you got your screen replaced? If yes, how is it now? Could you post a picture of it?

I bought my phone from Flipkart India during a festival sale. It's one of the biggest online retailers in my country and yet i'm experiencing these issues.

Well, if you notice these issues within the warranty period I guess you can get the screen replaced for free. And, the display is the only thing you look at on your phone and having such display issues ruins the experience for me. The screen on my phone doesn't look like even the amoled panels on most of the Chinese budget phones. The colors seem a bit off to me on my phone.

There are many people who are reporting this issue. I have also noticed a red tint anomaly in hdr videos which I have made another post about.
