Trying this again

[gunner1198 (imported)]

About a year ago I went on Cyproterone for a month, I was 26 at the time, just gotten out of a serious relationship, and thought that after how I was feeling I was ready to be done with women for good and what better way to get them out of my head than with chemical castration. After 3 weeks the drugs kicked in in a big way, scared the crap out of me, just as me and my girlfriend at the time were patching things back up. I've always been curious about castration but I felt I started it at the wrong time and for the wrong reasons. Well with the girl now months in the past and definately not coming back and a clear head I am gonna start the Cyproterone again with alittle better idea of whats ahead. This time I am also taking Propecia (alittle thin on top) and I am hoping the results will come around faster. I only have a set amount of pills and don't want to invest in any more at this time. I'll stop back in a few days with an update.

You should get about the same results this time as you got the last time. A year change should have no effect. Taking Propecia will have little effect. The androcur will have far greater effects.

I am not sure your reason is for trying out castration again. Think you should examine your reason why you wanted it the first time and why it failed. What has changed now that you think it is the correct time to do it now. If you were shocked by what you experienced from the castration effects then you do not really know what castration really is about. Please do your homework and read, and talk to people really understand what you are getting yourself into. It is a life changing experience that can not be undone

Thank you for your concern, but I have done my homework. I've looked into this off and on serious and just as a fantasy for 7 yrs now. What shocked me about it was the rapidness with which the drugs took effect. Nothing really changed for 2 weeks then over night I lost the ability to get an erection. I had heard people talk about how spontaneous erection go away and it gradually becomes harder and harder to have erections, but I experienced none of that it was there one day and gone the next.

I am trying this to seek a calm that I don't have. Constantly trying to get every female friend I have to sleep with me. I lost one very good friend for that very reason. One thing I did enjoy about the last session I had was for 3 or 4 day prior and almost 2 weeks after I stopped taking the pills I didn't feel that need to try and bed every female I know. In any event my reasons are my own, and if there wasn't something I enjoyed about it I wouldn't be trying it again.

I can relate to your thread hear Gunner1198. I tried cyproterone acetate last year. I only took a 50mg daily dose but it still hit me like a ton of bricks. I was quite shocked by the feeling of it changing things in my body. I stopped taking it after just a week because I started to feel low. I already wasn't sleeping well due to a cat allergy and the cyproterone induced hot flushes just made things worse. So my timing, like your own, wasn't good. I may try again sometime soon, but I'll start on a very low dose and gradually increase it in an attempt to 'take the edge off' my libido. Do keep us posted.

Well I started off with alittle more of a knockout punch. 150 mg the first day, 100 the next, and today I took 50mg. I've been having a horrible time getting to sleep, the worst was Thursday night into Friday morning, I went into a zombie half in half out kinda state for the better part of 3 hrs. Hopefully the sleep thing is either from something else or will settle down. I work an on-call schedule during the spring. I haven't started working on-call yet this year but when I do sleep becomes a very precious commodity. As far as results, I haven't been incedibly interested in masturbating today but then again I have days like that normally. I'll take it as working when I go a day or two without an erection.

I know exactly what you mean by zombie like state - only half asleep. I'm so surprised that I haven't read of many other guys experiencing this. In fact I think you're the only one gunner1198. I had a succession of complete nights like that, and during the day I was in a kind of calm, trance like state. But after a week of that I realised that I was feeling useless and became fearful that it could turn into a dangerous (ie. suicidal) depression so I quit taking the cyproterone, which immediately made me feel less worried. However my ability to get erections continued to diminish until by the second or third week I was completely impotent. My return to 'normal' took many weeks. It's a powerful drug. I now know that I was having difficulty sleeping before I took cyproterone, and as I'm 52 my natural testosterone probably isn't as strong as it was, so I probably don't need as big a dose as would a young guy.

Seeing that I'll be the 50 in March, sexual stuff is the least on my mind at this time. But being a little more girl like is most appealing to me for my later years. Why this is, I don't know. Although I really do appreciate the female body form.

I never did have a really big sex drive anyway. Maybe I was meant to be a eunuch all these years? Although, before I lose my genitals it would be nice to have that very final fling. I would love to lose my package that way.

*I must be sick, or am I?*

Last night wasn't too bad of a rest, I was on a lower dose and I took some advil (I also have a back problem which sometimes keeps me up, the result of an atv accident a few years ago.) I am hoping I get an equal amount of rest tonight. As for the sexual effects, one or two erections a day, but only if I want them. Orgasms aren't the thrill they once were. My mind isn't on sex very much, but I have been more tired lately. Its bedtime here.

I'm 53 and feel the same way.

Before embarking on a cyproterone acetate (Androcur) regime I thought it best to consult with those that have more experience and knowledge about lowering the libido. And yes, we old duffers are still plagued with unwanted urges.

There is so much information here about chemical castration that I fine it easy to get confused after reading through all the postings. The consensus seems to be, try chemical castration first before contacting Dr. Kimmel, I should point out that I had contacted Dr. Spector some time back but was unable to follow through with an orchiectomy at that time.

Before placing an order with InHousePharmacy I would like to know what dosage to start with and how long before it kicks in? Is it advisable to start with a large dose to jump-start the effects, and then taper off to a lower dose?

Sincerely,

Dinky
