Months, not weeks.

Just for the records. Having a glimpse of normality. This time I woke up in the morning, feeling very well and slightly electrified, and feeling mind and penis connection, like it was before accutane. My libido was back from 0 % to 100% normal that day. Then its faded away. Its sad. but such episodes of normality giving some hopes. I was taking copper + zinc. Copper has estrogenic ativity and zinc is anti 5AR and aromatase inhibitor. What helped me ? don’t know.

It goes against what most people want to hear here but whenever I’ve had those recoveries, I’ve been doing nothing special. It might have been the case that you’d have had that recovery had you been taking cooper+zinc or not. Certainly many people here have taken those things repeatedly and not found that a recovery has followed.

Don’t think so. If I am doing nothing, i stay where I am for months, without any slightest shift. These 2 minerals can be quite potent and have an impact on hormonal panel. I noticed differences just after several days of zinc intake. I don 't believe in such coincidences. Most people tried plenty of things and everyone had a different reaction here, so it not a convincing argument.

Not likely to be a coincidence at all. If you’re interested:

Has anyone tried Saw Palmetto or fin after developing pfs?

Hey jjbunch, It’s a very interesting observation and one going back over a decade that people with PFS can sometimes have their symptoms improve temporarily or, more rarely, permanently with 5 alpha reductase inhibitors or substances with anti androgenic properties. They can also dramatically worsen PFS and introduce a much more severe condition. People have claimed improvement by turmeric, zinc, progesterone, finasteride (in the case of an accutane case, which is likely the same condition), nu…

Not to confuse you more, but how you can feel your libido going to 100% and fading away in a small timelapse? You woke up and think constantly think about sex uncontrollably? How do you feel your libido?

[slick1]

weird fact. One of the systematic symptom relieve is occuring very often at the moment when I am falling asleep. At certain stage of falling asleep my sexual senses, libido and penis connection with brain coming back. I am leaning towards the idea , the problem is in the neurotransmitters. And my zinc/copper one day improvement might be not related to particularly alterations in androgens. Those minerals are also potent in supressing/ regulating dopamine/serotonin.

[Mcbbould]

Yes for sure dopamine/serotonin are impacted. That’s why people who abuse mdma have the same symtoms. Something is very wrong with our neurotransmitters

Just to let you know slick1 I got PFS from a fraction of a pill of finasteride, I took it on the same day I took MDMA. I don’t know if this has contributed to being a 1 pill case but it’s interesting to think about.
