How do you that because something lowers serotonin it will also lower estrogen? If the estrogen is stored in fat cells or in the liver and you lower serotonin does that automatically mean you’re dumping estrogen? I mean I really want to believe cypro does all these thingsIn theory, it should raise t. Less serotonin, more dopamine, less prolactin, less estrogen, more T.
i have to report back on cypro. maybe someone can help me .
i always wake up the next day with bloodshot eyes after i take cypro. what could that be ?
also i have a weird feeling in my stomach as if it was inflamed or just very "sensitive"
besides that i am more relaxed and so on thats why i do want keep taking it at least for a few weeks ...
Hm interesting...I was thinking it could be liver related . Because bloodshot eyes are often liver related . IF that is true it means your liver health got better during taking cypro. Something like that was suggested by someone else in a thread ,meaning high liver enzymes only there because your liver actually heals ...I think this occurred for me when I started using it but I think it improved as I kept taking it and now when I use it I don’t get any veins in the eyes.
Are you still taking crypto? Did these sides pass?It gives me lactic acid and takes away the will to do anything. Then it gives me restless legs so I need to spend the night walking around, but it makes me too tired to walk around
Cyproheptadine is a 1st generation anti-histamine drug. Second generation variants include cetirizine and loratadine with fewer side effects like drowsiness, etc. My son uses the last 2 and have very good response for hayfever and general better feeling when stressed because of the hayfever allergic reactions.
Ray Peat has said that it is anti estrogenic and thats probably why he responds so well on it.
So I've started using Cypro at around 4mg orally before bed....But before this, I have been using BPC-157 for a week to heal my medial meniscus, which it did. Unreal.
However, I can barely notice any sedation/sleepiness from The Cypro?!?! this is my first time using it as well...
I have been eating insane amounts of carbs and everything in my sight on cyproheptadine.
But the most annoying side effect immediately worth noticing is the COMPLETE LACK OF MUSCULAR PUMP when doing weights. My muscles literally feel EMPTY. Tried upping salt, tried smashing carbs, but nothing seems to work. I feel FLAT in the gym on Cypro?!
That's weird about zinc, doesn't zinc lower cortisol?I'd just like to report back.
CYPRO is a game changer for my somehow acquired PSSD from Ashwagandha usage.
What seems to happen is that Cypro at doses of 1mg seems to make my symptoms worse, but then 2-3 days later, it makes me feel cured of all my PSSD symptoms. I also found combining it with strong liver herbs like artichoke extract etc, to really help.
In addition, I STRONGLY believe that the use of ALCAR the day after makes me feel INCREDIBLE. ALCAR feels very very different under Cypro.
5-HT1A agonism?
Touching Zinc will render all of the above benefits completely inert. Somehow Zinc worsens my symptoms which are likely mediated by the 5-HT1A receptor.
That's weird about zinc, doesn't zinc lower cortisol?
I like to take a fairly small dose of 1-2mg ~3 hrs before bed if I've had a stressful day or otherwise know that sleep sleep would be bad without it.
No it's been almost a year since I quit. This winter was kinda rough but I have actually been getting a lot more zinc lately and things have been going very well. I also quit progesterone.Indeed it does Janelle, and there's a very strong link with glucocorticoids/cortisol and the 5-HT1A autoreceptor!!
Basically, if Ashwagandha worsens symptoms, then Zinc likely will too. I've met many other guys who say the same.
Are you still using cypro these days?
