hi guys!
im in my 30ies, PFS-sufferer for 8+years and on pills since 2012. because i justt sleept terrible after withdrawing from finasteride. i tried different sedating for years ADs and they put me to sleep but had a toll on my performance and most importantly ability to work,socializing and having a girlfriend.
i was almost bedridden for several years. two years ago i discovered peating and improved alot (T from 5 to 7 and 8ng,TSH from 2,3 to1,5) ,lost weight and got more active. at tha same time i tapered mirtazapine because it was so sedatings. unfortunately i started to take benzos instead..first once in two weeks, then once or twice per week,mostly lorazepam. last year i switched to diazepam because it has longer halflive and is easier to withdraw. but i was too dizzy (20-30mg per week) and swithced to zopiclone 7,5mg in may. i take it every night,but my sleep is not restful, i look like ***t, my hormones worsend incredibly (T 4ng, TSH 1,7) and i feel the interdose withdrawl anxiety. i have no more life...its really awful.
i took T4 supllement from february to july but it didnt change my mentals and sleep to the better. so what to do?take mirtazapine again and get lazy again? i need a lot of good sleep to keep on going. are benzos a definite nogo? i mean i felt quit good on loraz...its the problem without them. and i take supplements (melatonin,ashvaganda,passiflora)that help but its not strong enough.
i tried 5alpha DHP but it wasnt enough to put me to sleep. pregnenolone is relaxing but not sedative. if sth hormonal maybe progesterone but it feels estrogenic after 3 days. so what to do?
also i cant workout these days i suffer chronic inflammation of the arm. testosterone and DHT exogenous help to clear the dark thoughts and do sth, but dont do much for sleep. the thing is, IF i manage to sleep well my hormones are ok.
