I've never tried Lupron even though I've thought about it. There was a pharmacy a few years ago that sold it without a prescription but it was $1800 for a 3 month shot. The thought of customs taking an $1800 syringe of lupron and the high overall costs prevented me from trying it. As far as your T levels returning to normal it depends on your body and how long you have been on it. I would say that anything over 6 months should be considered semi permanent to be on the safe side but results vary from person to person. If concerns of permanent damage are a problem I would steer clear of chemical castration. I had these concerns at one point a few years ago and it prevented me from going through with anything meaningful. Once I reached the point where permanent changes were not a concern anymore I decided to try out chemical castration in a serious manner. I'm currently on Androcur and Tamoxifen but it's still too early to sense any changes yet. Good luck with your situation and make sure that you are ready before you try something that could have permanent consequences. Also, Androcur alone or combined with Tamoxifen will castrate you as effectively as Lupron for a lot less money.
This is a great thread, full of useful information and experience. The one thing that worries me here is that there is no mention of the dangers of blood clots.
I am no expert and there are members here who can advise anyone taking hormones how to help prevent clots, which can and have caused stokes and death.
A small daily dosage of aspirin can help mitigate the risk.
Certainly anyone taking hormones should also consider clotting.
It would be great if the hormone advice also carried some clotting guidelines too.
Just a thought!
Just a fue month's back tried lowering T with cyproterone acetate. Took 25mg/day for 6 days. Sex drive took about 40 days to return to anything like normal. Very powerful stuff. Nice vacation from a very over active sex drive. Read online that the half life of this stuff is about 40 hrs@40yrs old and younger but increases to about 96hrs in men that were 70 yrs old. Another good reason to take very small amounts of this to start.
Last month I decided to try it with estrogen. after Just a fue days of T lowering I injected 10mg/ml Progynon Depot. For three full days I have never felt better in my life. I was stuned by how good I felt mentally and physically. My sleep has degenerated severly over the last 15 to 20 years. I now remember what sleep was like as a kid. lots of people my age lose any frame of reference for what really good sleep feels like. 3 nights of dead to anything sleep. I was off work for a fue weeks and injected 30mg in two weeks. every time the same thing, 3 days of just feeling unbelievibly good after an injection. felt a little tired but alert and sharp, no emotional down side at all. I'm wondering if its because estrogen increases serotonin. any one know? anyone have the same experience? I can't keep taking it because I could never live with breast. my nipples were sore after 3 shots so I had to quit. I'll most likly seek medical help, mybe an serotonin uptake inhibitor would do the same. Very glad I tried estrogen. But must agree with other comments on this thread.. Could be very addictive! Hope I find a better answer.
And yea since I'm over forty I took asprin. Blood clots worry me to.
Talk to your doctor about your DHEA levels and ask him/her about taking Melatonin. (Spelling?) As we age we loose the ability to make the right levels of this and it can ruin you whole day when your up all night.
I have a theory that Estrogen is addictive! One reason I don't want too much! ;-)
