In this powerful interview, Noor shares his devastating experience with Post-Finasteride Syndrome (PFS). Once a healthy athlete and cricketer, his life changed forever after a crash just 48 hours after stopping finasteride. He went from lifting heavy weights and living an active lifestyle to being bedbound, losing 15 kilos of muscle in one month, and being diagnosed with osteoporosis at only 30 years old.

Noor courageously speaks about the gaslighting he faced from doctors, the stigma within his own community, and even how his family was misled into secretly giving him antidepressants. Despite the pain, confusion, and loss of his personality and health, Noor decided to break his silence — encouraged by Henry’s mother, Erica, whose son tragically took his life due to PFS.

This testimony is raw, emotional, and tragically familiar to so many. It shows that PFS is not “just” about hair or minor side effects — it can strip away a person’s body, mind, and identity. Noor’s story highlights the urgent need for recognition, research, and accountability.

⚠️ Note: Noor’s recall of dates is at times inconsistent. This is common for PFS sufferers due to the neurological and cognitive symptoms of the condition. The sequence of events remains clear: initial exposure with no issues, a later re-exposure, and then a devastating crash.
