I stopped and three weeks later felt like I’d been hit by a train when I woke up with all the sides, it literally happened overnight, and not helped by alcohol the night before.
After I stopped felt nothing for a week or two, not bad and nothing to worry about. Noticed one time when I looked at a porn mag literally NOTHING happened in my head which alarmed me, even while having sides on fin I still had the semblance of a libido at all times.
My ‘recovery’ phase lasted a week but during that time also had insomnia, anxiety and the beginnings of hard brain fog. I’d wake up sometimes with mad nightmares like something was being switched off in my brain.
Doing drugs and booze in the interim period screwed me up, wish I’d got access to this site for advice (couldn’t get logged on cos it presumably went to spam).
At the risk of flogging a dead horse I think we are here because we stopped abruptly rather than weening, from this site only ‘Chris11’ did this and got sides but they were only sexual.
I wonder that if you do even a mild PCT with vits and anti-e herbs or t boosters in that timeframe can save you or at least prevent the more extreme sides showing up.
Anyway you can’t change the past but interested in others’ experiences.
