@Kiwiii why are you taking all this stuff (test, NAC etc) when you just started TEI? Now it's going to be hard to pinpoint what is causing what.

Îm on test because I was hypogonadal post fin. AD because of depression post fin. And nac to try to get better

Kiwwi. LOL man you are all over the place, Many people are hypogonadal after PFS, it does not mean you need to take test.

First of all, you got low on magnesium from the test, and now you have no methylation and no homocystine, and no Cyst, which homocysteine converts into.

YOu cant do that. IF you want to be on testosterone . You need to take 20mg progesterone with it.

Cysteine was helping since you dont make it , from homocysteine.

Bottom line if you plan to be on testosterone, you need to add progesterone. Otherwise testosterone is worthless.

Also add B vitamins and magnesium and eat foods high in potassium

@Helen im on trace element too. So I have magnesium.

I have been test for the A1298C polymorphism and I am homozygous.

I don’t want to stay on test, I want to be medication free.

Also adding progesterone while my progesterone is over the upper limit in blood ?

On thé methylation part il homozygous for A1298C


you are on TEI program, and you are taking testosterone and AD? are you for real? This is just a waste of time

I am telling you. just add progesterone then to your testosterone. That is your only chance/

NO way will any program work for you while you are on hormones

@Helen should I add progesterone even if it is high in blood ?

I want to stop AD and testo but every time I stop I have major anxiety (spasmophilia)

@Helen @TubZy @Kiwiii

He's gotta get off everything being step #1. But there's got to be a step proceeding that step#1 because he can't even get off the AD without severe neurological issues. This was my case. Possibly for different reasons, but there's a body chemistry where a human being can't really exist living due to the severity of anxiety/depression. @Kiwiii has had this all of PFS.

From my perspective, I'd follow me and try a cyproheptadine or mirtazapine to replace your AD. Then just freakin fast for a long time. Probiotic enemas while fasting. Natural Anti-bacterials, anti-virals as well. Your depression lives in the gut. The cleaner you get your gut, the better you will feel mentally.

Hopefully after fast you can drop the new AD (mirtazapine, cyprohepatine). Then you move to balancing.

That's what I would do. I'm not an expert, just someone who did something similar.

@Helen, for testosterone, Pine Pollen Is good? for Progesterone, Vitex, but it would be hard to figure out how much progesterone with that. Better off taking real Progesterone 20mg , right. So is Pine Pollen with 20 mg real progesterone good?
Ive been seeing good results with 400-800 mg Pine Pollen, and 600mg Vitex. however, I don't think I'm getting enough progesterone with that.
Interesting, 400-800mg of PP is really low too
@TubZy, yes you are right. My bottles states to take 4 as serving size. That's 1600mg. I will up the dose. I usually do the minimum first on all herbs and drugs. I'm still seeing libido and erection quality results though. I'm going to have to up the dose of Vitex or progesterone as well too.

Can you please open your own post.

What is your opinion about NAC?
I prefer glutathione, I was told by a doctor it's better to buy the precursor NAC which creates glutathione but I didn't feel any difference from NAC but when I take glutathione in capsule form I feel more relaxed and it helps me sleep. Although not as much as when I first took it when I was really deficient. It's not just important for the liver it's important for protecting the brain so if you've got migraines give both NAC and glut a try.
