Is it possible to measure 5AR level in the blood?

Thats quite a huge range of symptoms.

Anhedonia:lets do also a comprehensive stool test.
Anhedonia can be cured. Intermittent fasting. Detoxing by Gluthatione, NAC. Diet.
ARL Hairtest could be helpful. Provoking test metals useful.

Check what I wrote to the Italian guy re Tests.

Thats all for now. Do them asap. You could be surprised!

Hi @EDDYS

Same for me, after 1 year recovered a lot but still fighting this problem.

Had low Dopac and Serotonine, high Noradrenaline and Adrenaline in my last neurotransmitter test.

Got prescribed Ashwagandha to lower Adrenaline and 5HTP to get up Serotonine.

For Dopac elevation i got L-Tyrosine, Magnesium, Copper, vit C, vit B6, vit B9 and vit B12.

Unfortunately after 3 weeks of taking it now i still have this problems. But my doc told me to take it for 4 months at least…

I would check for cooper levels in hair and blood and even urine.
Copper overload can be really toxic. Just my opinion.

Hi @noprop

Copper was 626 ug/L (800-1300 ug/L)

So it was to low… But i read that low copper in blood can also mean that the liver can’t get rid of the copper and that you have to much copper in the liver.

hair would be interesting too!

To get rid of copper you could take Enterosgel.
I read copper toxicity can be a problem. Best

HI @zodiacs thanks for your answers. Do you know which test should I undertake to measure Adrenaline and Noradrenaline, Dopac?

I managed to boost up my serotonin levels x2 with 5HTP.

Hope to find a cure soon…

Did you guys continue to lose hair after discontinuation?

Hi @EDDYS

My doc made a simple blood and urine test to get my adrenaline and other neurotransmitter values.

For the hair nothing changed for me in the 11 months after sfopping fin. But i have the impression that in the last month when also the stress/anxiety got a little worse for me my hair begins to fall out again more. I don’t know what happend but while libido and so got better in the last month stress/anxiety got worse and hair begins to fall out agin more…

Yo, just read one of your old threads from 2011… you still around! Curious to know if you still have any hf issues? If not how did you solve them? I read your advice and got myself some prazosin and was completely shocked when all my symptoms went away… do you still take it?

Then…why is it said that the problem is an downregulation of the AR activity? Is all that theory wrong?
