Hi guys,
French guy here, today it is one year since I crashed, i tooked only one pill of generic finasteride, and crashed heavily for 5 months. One fucking pill.
Let me tell you.
I took this shit on sunday, and immediately the following morning, i felt like something was switched of inside. Got immediately nipple pain, heart racing etc... You know the rest, honeymoon period of 2 weeks, and then crash.
For 5 months i had :
- Heavy fatigue
- Heavy muscle pain
- Body temperature dysregulation
- Heavy diarrea
- Depression
- Suicidal toughts
- Social phobia
- ED
- Violent moods swings
- Crying spells
- Anhedonia
5 months sick leave
I made a ton of blood work. Doctors put me on Effexor 75mg/day, because he tought i'm crazy.
What came out in my bloods :
- Always had high bicarbonates ( i read somewhere that pfs and pssd can be linked to high CO2)
- Low T : low 200 to low 300
- Low LH, Low FSH (secondary hypogonadism)
- High cortisol
- High Progesterone
- Crashed E2
- Low vitamin D, high calcitriol, low PTH
An endo put me on testogel 50 mg/day, was great, gave me confidence, energy, no more panic attacks.
But i couldn't continue it, because of its price.
I made a 23andme test, what came out :
- Gluten sensitivity gene (RHONDA)
- VDR BSM polymorphism (it expresses because my calcitriol is high and it slow down my PTH) : if somebody know if there is something to do for it ?
- Homozygous A298C MTHFR
- A problem on the detox in the liver (pathway that detox E2)
- Avoid methyldonors
6 weeks ago my endo put me on Testosterone enanthate, 80mg/week. And sunday it will be my 6th shot, and i don't feel anything, in fact i'm worse, mood swings are back, crying spells too.
So now ?
I tried :
Tribulus : no effect
Creatine : no effect
Vitamin D : no effect
Zinc : no effect, i suspect that it make me crash
Alpha GPC : no effect
Methylfolate : no effect
Hydroxycobolamn : no effect
So what can i do now ?
We will beat this i'm sure, but where to go from now ?
Thanks
