After taking a look at the side effects of this medication, obviously not a good idea. Go to the wikipedia page Mew posted and take a look at the side effects. I shit my pants when I saw those pictures. Wow. This is seriously horrifying.
Efavirenz (also an anti-retroviral drug) apparently does the same thing. But doesn’t have the terrifying side effects of Nivaperine. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efavirenz

I hope we all learned why its not a good idea to go ahead and play guinea pig with drugs. No one should take anything until we know what the doctors doing the PFS research say. It may take a year, maybe more, but better than what we saw in those pictures. Please continue to post relevant research articles on “activating androgen signaling” though.
