Ok, I’m 19 years old and haven’t experienced any symptoms of PFS. However, my story is classic, I noticed increased hairloss, did some research on how to prevent it etc etc.
Ofc I was scared to take fin or dut(and for a good reason), but I fell into the “natural” trap, and that is Saw Palmetto extract.
I’ve been taking it for approximately 4 months 300mgs a day with a 10 day break in between. I didn’t experience any sides whatsoever, except of some hairline regrowth that some people noticed (I went from nw 1.5 to juvenile) Ever since I stumbled on the stories from the net about how SP has ruined lives and lead to PFS syndrome I became paranoid. As a result, I decided to quit it and maybe use it topically, but nothing more.
I made this post to get advice on what can I do in order to prevent PFS crash or at least minimize the chances of it occurring. Like, what would you guys do, knowing what you know now, during your discontinuation phase of 5ari? Should I quit cold turkey or half the dosage each week to cool down my AR?
Currently taking astaxanthine due to its neuroprotective effects.
Please, let me know any other actions I can undertake rn if any (except of killing myself ofc).
This is definitely the last thing I want to bother with, it’s shit right now as it is.
