Although it seems like great news for what the author said, I feel the need to tell my side of the story and just like the author himself: this is not the cure by far, and my experience was terrible with the bacopa.
I am 23 years old and had all the symptoms imaginable with finasteride: sexual, cognitive … all in just 45 days of use. Some of the symptoms resumed a few days after the crash, mainly the sexual ones, however the cognitive and visual ones persisted until today 2 years of symptoms.
Just like you, I read the topic and understood the proposed therapy. I used bacopa in the correct dosage of examine.com daily with curcumin for a few days. And for some reason, my sleep, which was well regulated with melatonin, lost its effect. New symptoms appeared: I have spasms every time I try to fall asleep or relax, excessive salivation, I was never able to nap again, and even extrapyramidal symptoms appeared. Although the author is a well-formed and transparent person, it is worth remembering that this pathology is not fully understood and the benefit of the proposed therapy will always be unknown. Probably this herbal medicine that is indicated for the treatment of alzheimer’s due to anticholinesterase activity caused an accumulation of this neusthroides and manifested these symptoms for months. Anyway, what I would like to say here is that I am not and do not want to be an example to anyone, but people who have experienced worsening symptoms understand the complexity of the disease and the risk they are subjected to when trying new treatments irresponsibly.
After that, I really got off the hook. I take advantage that my sexual part was not so affected so I can have a relationship with my girlfriend, I adapt to cognitive limitations and whenever I can I enjoy with my friends, the way I want. I am graduated in pharmacy in Argentina, I apologize because I am not fluent in English but I hope you can understand what I wanted to pass, and i wish everyone the best recovery.
