androcur 50 mg/day

[Negaatio (imported)]

So it seems the dose which should be taken is relative to the person, and I guess weight matters? So if I weigh up to 70 kilograms would a 50mg dose of androcur do it?

I started on a mix with Androcur, but it wasn't until I added Spiro to the mix did my breast develop

I am getting desperate.

I had androcur 50mg 2 tablets daily for 2 weeks. Feeling quite good, no radical sexual thoughts for 2 weeks. I thought it had its effect and lowered for 50 mg per day. 3 weeks later I notice some sexual thoughts provoking me again. I higher the dose to 2 tablets daily, and now have been with this for about a week.

But still the thoughts keep on coming. My erection hasn't dysfunctioned and I still sometimes have the urge to masturbate. Did I do something wrong and if I did, can I fix my error somehow? Should I rise the dose a little more?

No feminization has occured or other side effects. The only difference is that my libido lowered _a little bit_. I have been able to go a full month and two weeks without masturbating and that means something to me atleast.

Hi Negaatio, My experience at the beginning was quite similar. I had tried increasing Androcur dosage to 2 tablets morning and 2 tablets evenings, with a total of 200 mg/day, and I did not find my libido wiped out. I was masturbating more than you, about once a week at best, which was some progress from my twice to thrice weekly exercise before I started Androcur, but nowhere satisfactory to me.

The time I finally got any real reduction of libido was when I supplemented Androcur with Tamoxifen. Then it immediately hit me -- a complete vacuum of sexual thought, sexual feelings that freaked me out after a while. I had to reduce dosages of both meds down to somewhere I was more comfortable.

Reading these post really gets me scared for people who self-medicate. With some individuals it seems no matter how the information is given in clear black and white it doesn't seem to get through. As a healthcare worker, I can tell you drugs ESPECIALLY drugs of these nature don't work how I'm picking up some you think they work. Drugs that affect the endo system don't work by weight they are measured by your current hormone levels. You can't say that in x amount of weeks or months your going to get y results. If that was the case we wouldn't have so many different drugs on the market. This is why testing is done and is so important. The whole idea of the loading dose to start off with is, IMO, ridiculous. Siterone isn't a drug you play lightly with. Its known for it liver toxicity elements. Long time usage isn't recommended. Not only that, the way the drug works makes me nervous and people pop that crap like their sweet tarts...well at this point I'm ranting and preaching. Just be careful with what your putting into your bodies while being unmonitored because you don't know when to stop the drug or reduce your dose. Your simply going off time or simple symptoms which could easily be late symptoms of a bigger issue. Early symptoms of different conditions/disorders (especially those related to hormones) can easily go unnoticed.

I would heed gayaquarius' advice here. I was very reticient about starting Andocur for a long time because of all the precautions that others wrote about on this site but I didn't know any other effective way to see if this was what I wanted for myself. I started at a very low dose and worked my way up to where the effects were too much for me to handle and then I reduced my intake until it was a dosage that I could live with. I think that taking Tamoxifen also helped me to keep my Androcur dosage rather low, yet still experience the desired effects of low libido. I knew that at some point I would have to stop taking it and I eventually did, switching to a series of alcohol injections that seems to have made the change to my libido permanent.

Spirnolactone is a very weak anti-androgen compared to Siterone. Certainly it is cheaper but sometimes you get what you pay for.

I have been on Lexapro/Lexam (an anti-depressant) for about 6 months (only removed my sex drive for the first 2 weeks) and hope to start on something else soon. I see my doctor/therapist in 2 weeks time. Last time he mentioned that I may be able to start on Spironolactone - so I am a little disappointed to read that it is a "weak" drug. In anycase, I still want to give it a try, as it would be another step towards getting to try Androcur (which my doctor does not really want me to do). If I move on to Spiro then I may post my experiences on it on the forum.

Thank you to everyone who posts positive experiences of their feelings from removal of their sex drive. I am not sure if I will ever get there myself, but the thought of it remains a quite positive one. Like many people on here, I want to quit masturbation for starters.

Everyone reacts different to these drugs. I'm also take estrogen but started on spiro and the effects on ejaculate-, erection-quality and quantity were almost immediate and noticeable. After I added estrogen I got a little too much (or less) as I bargained for and had to add progesterone so that I can be somwhat sexually active but I could imagine that for some folks who just want to take down their sex-drive a notch or two spironolactone could be just right.

We plan to use Androcur. I have read thoroughly and it seems the solution made in heaven for us. My wife is still worried about the possible side effect but I consider more the side effects of testosterone that I want rid off.

The current plan is to try it out for about 3 or 4 months before going to my doctor and telling all, hopefully some of the side effect would have settled by then and I can either pursued her to prescribe it, or if not, at least to monitor me for longer term usage. I am not after transition but some kind of Eunuch state which I think long term would be by the removal of both testicles. A state in which I can continue to love my wife, as she would say sensually, without the goal orientated sexuality getting in the way as it does now.

My question is a simple economic one. I can get Androcur from the web but it seems that the readily available size is 50mg and 100mg, any other sizes are difficult to find and more expensive. I think I want to start at 25 mg a day divided into 2 doses, maybe if that is not right then 50mg divided into 2. What I want to know is would it be possible to cut the pills in 4 and would the inevitable variation in size if it was possible cause a problem? Is there any reason to start at 50mg a day rather that 25mg?

can those with experience help me.

Hi Kindleyjohn, I have not been able to find Androcur (Cyproterone Acetate) in a lower dose than 50mg tablets. However, they can quite easily be cut in half, quarter, eighth, etc. Once you get to 1/16 the pieces are bound to vary in size but I figure that if you take 2 or 3 doses daily (which is recommended) the different sizes cancel each other out and you'll be taking a consistent enough dose over the days and weeks.
