5 month Androcur trial - few questions before I start!

Pills have arrived! Weirdly, they took a lot less time to ship than some other pills I ordered from InHouse... plus I didn't have to pay any customs fees on them... they just arrived at my door like a standard package.

That’s great news, I hope I’m lucky and get away without a customs fee… Probably no chance now I’ve said it!

I'm on this journey, too. Started on Androcur 29 days ago. 150 mg/day for two weeks, now 100mg/day. (I REALLY want this stuff to work.)

I still get erections, just not completely hard. Not sure when to expect not to be able to get erections at all...

I'm hoping I'll be mostly boner free within a month, preferably at 50mg or less! I'm hoping I don't need 100mg for a maintenance level! (Partly for my liver, partly for my wallet) lol

Can any of you more experienced people advise me? Should it take this long on this dosage?

Thanks

I’ve only been taking Androcur for a couple of months but going by what I’ve experienced so far and the accounts of others, just be patient and it’ll have the desired effect soon enough.

There seems to be a lot of variation in the time it takes and how people react to chemical castration, but it doesn’t sound like you’ve had any nasty side effects so far, which is a great start…

Just to add to my last post, as I realised that I didn’t really answer your question.

I think most people take 100mg Androcur a day for the first couple of weeks then drop to 50mg, as the general consensus seems to be that this is a safe dose. It’s obviously taking quite a lot to knock out your testosterone, as you started at 150mg and have been taking it for nearly a month. But I’d suggest that you may like to consider dropping to 50mg a day reasonably soon to avoid the risk of damaging your liver.

As far as I know it’s far better to give Androcur time to work than to take too higher dose. But I’m no expert!

I agree. Even if liver toxicity is rare, it can be fatal and the risk increases with dose. So it makes sense to use the lowest dose that has the desired effect. That dose likely varies between individuals, but it might generally be effective at less than 50mg/day in the long run. I'm planning to decrease to 25mg/day in a month or so to see how I respond.

I have dropped the dose to 50mg/day now. It's been 5 weeks since I started. I'm still able to get hard somewhat. My goal is not to be able to get hard at all. I thought I'd be there by now. Is it a realistic goal?
