Effect of Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) partially inhibited by finasteride - Theory

Thanks for getting back - I tried it a few days ago and didnt have any benefits - its supposed to stablize mast cells - but cant say i noticed anything - i think it probably needs more time than 1 day but i didnt feel great on it so i dont want to push me luck.

*Thread Bump…

I had experience with this PEA supplement recently for about a week on,

First off hand it worked great from 1st day like my brain switched on again. I had motivation, dopamine, slight aggression, my speech was improved, mental clarity was great, I felt like I could connect again to the emotions of the day ( I was at work ) and my partner also noticed I seemed more happy and with it. Now comes the second part : so I noticed ZERO sexual thoughts and libido, it vanished even more than PFS level. After a few days on I started to feel that disconnect feeling to genitals, and very light in the pelvic/prostate area, and things just were completely dead downstairs, so I began more research on it and I found on one pubmed study where it was combined with another drug to help manage BPH symptoms and the results were that combined with the other drug it actually reduced the prostate weight by shrinking it, and was deemed a potent 5ar inhibitor… after I stopped the PEA I noticed dead libido , no erections, weak droopy Genitals, cold, lifeless numb in the morning upon waking up. My gluten and gut flairups started again, which they haven’t since I first crashed back in 2014/2015 . So guys just be weary out there it seems like It’s a double edge sword … hard to find something that helps all areas.

In the beginning It definetly helped my mood and mentally ect. But it’s considered a 5ARI. I Just wanted to give caution to others who may want to try it.

I seem to have gone back to baseline now but I guess we’ll see with time .

Yeah I know just what you mean, I don’t really get full on crashes anymore but any time it seems I find something that works this well my body smacks me back with very PFS-y side effects after a day or so. It’s like I’m right under normalcy but can’t quite break the barrier permanently without my body freaking out. Interesting that when it happened a bunch of gut stuff started to flare again, my guts also seem to be a center piece in my issues but I just can’t figure out what the role of them is in this. Thanks for the warning on PEA though, I wonder what this reaction implies about this condition. If we could only figure that out we might be able to specifically target things with even more precision.
