Hi all, a new member here. I'm diagnosed with Graves hyperthyroidism (was Hashi/hypo once but apparently too much 5-htp, SSRIs and Aswaganda caused me to become hyper). I also have the mysterious POIS (post-orgasmic illness syndrome) and an enlarged prostate (due to high T and DHT). I'm trying to low my elevated testosterone, FT4, DHT, DHEA-S and lower my sex drive. My FT3 is normal though, how can FT4 be elevated? I also have high SHBG and elevated Amylase and afternoon Cortisol leves. Strangely, DHEA-S is also elevated.
I wanted to boost my immune function but trying just one pill of Cat's claw caused me my 10th Serotonin syndrome so far. I am obviously a slow methylator as I can't stand caffeine and have naturally high serotonin. I think I got Candida from antibiotic overuse so used Nystatin and it helped me some of my digestion issues such as the drunken feeling after eating.
Those are the supplements/herbs I'd like to try for my hyperthyroid, high DHT etc. but I don't know if any them elevate serotonin:
Ajuga Reptans, Lycopus, Europaeus, Serenoa Repens, Lithospermum Officinale, Shilajit, Cyproheptadine
Potentilla alba/White cinquefoil, Yellow toadflax, Chickweed
Any experience with some of them? I'm so anxious as I lost my best years to POIS or hyperthyroid issues. I can't take aspirin as I have NSAID-induced ulcers.
