Why many of us experiences a increase on libido after the discontinuation of the drug, and than crash after a time? Time always varies, In my case, 3.5 months of happiness.

How long took yours and why you think this all happens?

Best theory is that the after being deprived of hormone, the system increases sensitivity to compensate. When the hormone is restored (cessation of drug) the system is flooded with hormone and then cannot cope with this very high signal and is silenced - crash.

The link above will give you the results of a few hundred people’s experiences.

If you have been off the drug for 3 months or more, please take the survey yourself.

Something interesting to add, and why I have no idea, is that my gut only got f***ed up after the crash, it was normal until then even with the drug suspense. Now is clearly worst.
