Can anyone explain what the main cause for memory issues would be due to finasteride? As in what would I need to focus on raising to improve symptoms?
Things I have tried with varying/inconsistent results:
5a-dhp
Glycine
Taurine
Dhea
Pregnenolone
Proviron
Creatine
Androsterone
Vitamin D3 and K2
Acetyl L Carnitine
NAC
Mag l-threonate
Few nootropics
Things I have coming tomorrow:
Palmitoylethanomide
Niancimide
I used to pride myself on what a good memory I had until I started dabbling in anti androgens such as RU and finasteride. My memory and word recall are affecting my career and I can't afford to lose my job over this.
I'm 31, male, and developed PFS after using a single 1.25 mg dose 2 months ago. 5a-dhp did great things for bringing back my emotional range but it appears to have diminishing returns and is possibly lowering my estrogen too much, not sure.
I did do before/after bloods. My estrogen actually went from 36 to 20 after cessation of fin. DHT was 33 before and after, testosterone unchanged in the 600 range.
I've read that if estrogen is too low can cause negative cognitive symptoms such as memory loss and brain fog. Does anyone have any recommendations as far as raising estrogen if that is perhaps the issue?
I'm interested to hear your ideas. I am mostly recovered from finasteride use and this is the most distressing symptom that I have left to solve.
