See my comment above :)Yup, I've found that a few drinks recently has helped a bit too - maybe lowered cortisol?
"My symptoms after a binge (only binging induces alcohol afterglow for me):
I put it down to nmda/dopamine rebound/synaptic plasticity, serotonin depletion, endorphin depletion (hence SEEKING OUT REWARD AND STIMULUS).
- excess libido, anywhere, anytime
- extreme interest in everything and anyone, including euphoria from the smallest things imaginable
- increased mental and physical endurance
Also dont forget the NAD/NADH redox, dhea->testosterone conversion rebound.
What I have noticed is, I seem to get the rebound ONLY if I induce complete loss of inhibition with enough alcohol, just getting tipsy or decent drunk I do not get the special hangover at all.
Also, the more of a good time Im having, the better the afterglow.
Butttttt, even if id binge drink alone about 15 beers, id get the horny hangover, but the effect seems stronger with plenty of social stimulus during the binge-fest.
edit forgot to add: Some people seem to also get near similar 'afterglows' from GHB ( never tried it and wouldnt recommend it!!!!! )
Considering alcohol works on GABA ( as does GHB, obviously also on the GHB receptor ) and NMDA, shouldnt a strong GABA agonist + NMDA agonist somewhat be able to mimic the synaptic plasticity effect of alcohol afterglow? Because there are also stories on the internet of people using DXM (dextromethorphan around bedtime) and the next day they wake have somewhat similar hangover description as the alcohol afterglow.
Just looked it up on wikipedia, DXM aparantly has a halflife of 2-4hours on average, this would be ideal to take before bed(assuming you get 8hours of sleep, only a minor amount be left in your body when you wake up in the morning), let the upregulation/synaptic plasticity occur while sleeping and wake up feeling a million bucks? not sure if its sustainable (high unlikely imo) but worth a shot atleast for the shortterm."
Some clues may lie here bro.
Do you have a studies or source for this claim? I'd be interested to review this evidence specifically, as it's something I would like to be aware of personally.
, since taking letrozole had a mountain of negative effects on me, particularly cognitively.
Hey man, thanks for your input.
Could you please elaborate on these negative effects you're referring to?
What about libido?Just use Estrofem for 3-4 days. See how it messes you up.
Estrogen is toxic for man. It might be good for women because of it's feminization effects. It's absolute toxic for me.
I'm on Letrozole and Proviron for a long time. My estrogen levels are probably undetectable. I feel great.
What type of drinks are best? I've read that beer is highly estrogenic. And that hard drinks like vodka, whisky are more friendly on Testosterone levels.
With wine somewhere in between, but wine is bad for those with digestive issues.
I have found a drink that does not give me hangover. Dry gin, drank a full bottle of it one night, with tonic. And water in between every glass.
Next day, I had no headache, no hangover. Granted, I wasn't even drunk.
Now, PROLACTIN, on the other hand... yeah, you can nuke that bastard as far as I care, I'll agree with you it probably serves no decent purpose in a male body. Bring on the Cabaser.
Meh, nuking prolactin makes me cum too early. Naturally very sensitive down there. Probably another reason why some guys get Deca d*ck and I don’t, when they combine it with testosterone and prolactin goes through the roof. Personal sweet prolactin spot: upper single digits
I take high dose arimistame (simillar to exemestane). Joint pain first day then after a couple days literally lower than baseline. Infact, its pretty much gone.While i switched the video off pretty swiftly, driving estrogen too low in men can have detrimental results. I naturally have low estrogen (i cannot for the life of me.gain weight on my legs or arse. I barely have an arse). And when i do too many things that keep estrogen suppressed--a lot of saturated fat, cheese, milk, sugar, nicotine, beef, creatine etc--i get joint pain, loss of muscle mass, poor libido and erection, slight anxiety, low strength. If i have some kind of PUFA food, even if it is bacon or pork, these symptoms reduce. I train for climbing 4-5 times a week so i am very sensitive to noticing how i feel strength and energy wise. Im not pro PUFA at all, ive had first hand experience of its detrimental effects. However, too low estrogen relative to T doesnt seem like a good thing. One thing that helps me is green olives/olive oil. I think the MUFA raises my sgbt so it keeps things in check and from becoming too imbalanced. Maybe getting some kind of mild natural phytoestrogen is the key to balance? Anyone know of any?
no. The fact could be that u feel the pain u have better. After a while the paint even dissapears because of the hightened androgens and lowered estrogen. This might make the problem dissapear.But this perspective is akin to when people say it's just a detox reaction. Masking, detoxing... or actually creating a problem or imbalance.
Also, even if it is masking something... surely it is better to feel good and have a decent libido than feel like crap?
The pain was for me only right in the beginning. Have less pain than before.There is no way I would do TRT with Exemestane alone.
The doses that are effective at raising my T are enough to kill my joints as @ShotTrue mentioned.
The only times I had to visit a chiro for my neck were after taking exemestane, and climbing stairs would cause a sharp pain in the knee cap.
I see the benefit for someone whose natural E2 is 40 and above, but mine is naturally <20.
And even then, that >40 guy could lower it down by fixing diet before jumping on an AI
