hello folks. im a 33 yo male in fairly good shape. 75kg x 184cm,
diet: high protein, average fats carbs diet, fairly low fibers (due to digestive issues (IBS-D-ish))
in the past years ive been taking accutane on a semi permanent basis, although at low doses (about 20mg a week - 5mg every other day or 10mg twice a week)
i had also had a course of prozac (fluoxetine) for what was major depression at the time. i wouldnt say im depressed now, just probably slightly dysthimic, but i see it as a personality trait and have given up on ""fixing it"" (at least at this time).
I've also had problems with lowish testosterone, usually a bit below lower threshold. for a while i took testosterone cream but dropped it due to fears of infertility.
ive recently had my blood drawn and testosterone came out again below range.
Im now considering asking for something like HCG (HGH) therapy or the alikes, in the hope that it might clear up some of my issues:
-spontaneous erections over the day are absent
-lack of morning woods, maybe one or two a week
-delayed ejaculation, inability to maintain erection
-lack of energy, mental clarity, motivation, the fairly typical dysthimic picture
until recently ive been looking into what isotretinoin does to your body and ive found out its a 5a-reductase inhibitor, sort of like finasteride, and ive wondered if this could be the culprit of many of my issues.
if this was the case, what could i supplement with to counterbalance its activity?
im trying chistanche at the moment but i cant say much at the time being
Sadly i isotretinoin is a godsent for my acne. i otherwise have small pimples all over my back, arms, chest and neck. so im really reticent on dropping it completely.
