Anyone had experience of using Finasteride causing neuropathy?

Posted by bigjohnscho @bigjohnscho, Jul 5 7:55am

I have been using Finasteride for several years to control an enlarged prostrate and it seems to have worked according to my PSA results.

Unfortunately I now suffer from peripheral neuropathy of my feet and legs ,
Just by chance I checked on the after effects of long term use of Finasteride and was amazed to find it listed. What can I do I can’t stop the Finasteride and I want to get rid of the PN.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuropathy Support Group.

I found your comment/question because my husband is now experiencing neuropathy and we are reading everything.

I found another group that you may want to look at. Your PN could be from something other than Finasteride. Sadly, there are too many medications that cause it.

Look at Medication linked to Peripheral Neuropathy on Mayo Connect. Good luck.
