THe options are mostly CYP3A4 substrate related.

When I took the first Dutasteride pill after a 5y hiatus from 5aR inhibitors I had been taking concurrently GABA supplements and Low Dose Naltrexone to help me sleep. That pill felt different from the same Dut taken in the past, it was like if I had taken poison, felt the penis disconnected right after a few hours, crashed one and half month later. GABA is the opposite of calcium blocker in the list I guess.

I had taken Dutasteride like a candy for 4 years from 2003 to 2007, with no sexual side effects, so I always attributed the new deadly effect of Dutasteride to the mix with Gaba and Naltrexone.

Btw, protein powders are so common that I don’t know if any result will be indicative if you don’t normalize the sample by the average usage.

My question is not well formulated as my english fails on me sometimes. This is the correct question:

[Size=4]“Did you take any of these the month preceding PFS onset”[/size]

elijah, what GABA supplements were you taking? I threw in the gym shakes because I was taking it at the time I started having side effects from propecia. I think the hormonal imbalance which cause my gyno could have been precipitated by using this shake together with propecia. I don’t know why I was taking that, I was very young and thought it was helpfgul candy…

xptriado, I know English very well, sorry if your English (with the init cap) fails on you sometimes. I checked the entry with the Gym Protein shakes, but I had taken that all my adult life, I don’t think it’s relevant. If there is a log of votes you can check. I had been taking GNC pure GABA , 750mg each night before sleep, took Dut and LDN concurrently before sleep too.

hi elihjah. there is no log of votes and that is why i was suggesting in other posts that we use surveymonkey instead for a survey on pfs…what do you think?

#6

took antibiotics and whey protein

#7

Was taking Zolpidem (hypnotic/sleep pill) very occassionally, but can’t remember if that was before or after I started having problems.

Also taking beta-blockers (Propranolol) irregularly.

None of these, but my allergist had switched my asthma meds up, stopping my Dulera and changing back to albuterol and singulair. I often wondered if this had any effect. If there is a bright spot out of this though, my dietary changes have reduced my asthma symptoms by like 90%. First time in my life I’m drug-free.
