Hello all,
I recently cycled Androsterone (2 drops daily) out of my regimen. I actually ran out but did not refill my supply.
I did this to observe effects and see if I had brought my functioning high enough to live without it going forward.
Nothing else changed in my regimen at this time.
I’ve ended up having a slew of negative effects from this decision. I do feel more “estrogenic” and susceptible to PMO consistently.
That being said, I think most of my issues are downstream from the effects that lack of Androsterone has had on sleep.
Within 1 day, my sleep schedule was essentially decimated and I stayed up until 3-4 am. (For reference, I’ve taken Andro from IL for over a year since I moved, and I’ve never been up later than 2, not even once.
Now, I’m up later than 2 every night, sometimes until almost 5 am. I used to always be asleep by 12 or 1 and sometimes even earlier.
I’ve been experiencing a lot of inflammation and gut irritation as a result of these sleep issues and I do kind of feel like my health is in a free fall without androsterone. Very inflamed and unhappy.
I guess I’m just wanting more feedback on why this might be the case?
My current theory is that my estrogen is elevated and that my allopregnenolone may have dropped significantly. I’m aware that estrogen can induce “stimulation” of sorts and that could be to blame for me being up through the late night.
On the other hand, my brain could be missing allopregnenolone and “overly excited” and/or suffering from undampened inflammation and excitation.
Or, it could be a combination of both.
In any event, it’s clear that my natural production of androsterone and my androgenic activity are not where they need to be, as evidence by this experiment. I gave my body almost 3 weeks to recover and reset after coming off androsterone to have this reflection / make this post, so I don’t think any endogenous production will materialize at this point.
Feedback is welcome, I hope to come out of this with a deeper understanding of my current state and in the meantime, I’ll be reincorporating androsterone for the time being.
