I have been using low dose progesterone, no more than 10mg orally, for about a week or two. I am also using DHEA and low dose androsterone. I was using 11-keto-dht, but decided to cycle off in favor of androsterone because I wanted more sedative effects.
Anyway, the progesterone has given me a profound change in consciousness. I feel the serotonin antagonism very strongly. It's difficult to describe, but the world seems more "grounded" in my line of sight, and the sky seems much more expansive when I look at it. This specific anti-serotonin feeling has never been as consistent with anything else. I also breath much deeper and slower through my nose. It's a strange feeling, but I like it. I guess I am producing more CO2.
I think this is playing a huge part in healing the potentially neurodegenerative conditions that were put in place by finasteride and Levaquin. I sincerely hope that this continues. I hope that I'm not speaking too soon.
I was using pregnenolone as well, but it seemed to cause long lasting depersonalization, and I felt that I was spinning out of control again. I know that there has been some discussion about DHEA mitigating the potentially stressful biphasic effects of allopreg conversion from progesterone and pregnenolone, so perhaps I can fold that back in at some point in the future. The DHEA does seem to take away any potential detrimental mental effects of the progesterone. Presumably, combing with a strong androgen can amplify this effect. For now, this is what is working.
When I take a high dose, the world does seem to take on a feeling of "unreality," like everything is flat with harsh lighting. I don't know what this means, but it is a bit disconcerting. Even when this happens, people and things still seem to flow more freely.
I hope I don't sound like a complete nutcase. I think the progesterone has had such powerful effects on me because these poisonous pharma drugs really did a number on my brain.
My question is, how long can I keep this up for? Should I have a fear of build-up? I know that Ray has recommended progesterone for reversing the underlying pathology of multiple sclerosis. I assume that there are (male) MS sufferers who have used progesterone to great benefit without serious side effects? Ray has also said that most of pregnenolone's benefits are due to the progesterone conversion.
I'm confused by my experience , but I am happy to have found something consistent (so far). Does anyone have thoughts/answers to my questions?
