My first choice right now is 5a-DHP. I've been reading a ton of people's posts about 5a-dhp and I think it sounds absolutely fascinating! I don't have pfs or anything but I do struggle a lot with anxiety so I'm really interested in sustainably boosting hormones like DHT and test and also agonizing GABA to hopefully help. 5a-dhp seems like the best sustainable option I've come across by far after doing hours and hours of research on this topic.
Do y'all think 5a-dhp is pretty safe to use in low doses despite the possible breast cancer risk? The way I've heard it compared to Xanax makes it sound like a magic bullet for me (even tho I've never tried Xanax) but I do want to be careful and not take any uncalculated risks.
I'm also considering pregnenolone with maybe a very low dose of DHEA and/or progesterone but 5-dhp looks more sustainable than DHEA and/or progesterone because it has a positive rather than negative feedback loop.
I'm very young (just turned 21) so I'm very wary of DHEA because I've heard it aromatizes easily and could isn't really recommend for young guys. (I'm considering using some AIs such as DIM but don't want to take those for too long since I believe they can lead to a compensatory response/withdrawal long term).
And I understand that progesterone can be feminizing so I'm very wary of it, even in low doses.
I thought androsterone sounded fascinating until I read a lot of anecdotal reports about how it made guys hostile and aggressive. The main reason I'm interested in neurosteroids is to be confident/playful with women but I do value my bro relationships too and don't want to compromise those. Especially because I'm not good at being assertive and standing up for myself when faced with hostility.
Overall, I thought 5a-dhp sounded perfect (despite the breast cancer worries) because it does everything I want and is best at raising allopregnanolone, which can tends to be low in people that have anxiety. I have a ton of social anxiety and tend to avoid a lot less social than I know I could be because I get awkward and uncomfortable in high pressure environments, such as talking to attractive women.
So the pro-social, anxiolytic, rewarding effects of allopregnanolone sound absolutely perfect for me. I know that allopregnanolone can quickly build tolerance according to some user reports but I'd be fine with only using it once or twice a week on the weekends before I go out.
Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions/feedback :)
