The study suggested that surgical castration was superior to Androcur for the following reasons:

The side effects of Androcur complained of were:

* extreme lassitude,

* alteration of sleep pattern,

* mood swings,

* headaches,

* depression,

* hot and cold sweats, and

* intolerance to alcohol (particularly red wine).

It is significant that Androcur has never been licensed for use in the USA, presumably because of its hepato-toxicity and tendency to cause depression, fatigue, weight gain, osteoporosis and thrombosis and embolism.

Androcur is great way to see if you can and like the effects of castration. Everyone that I know that used androcur used it for only a while as a test. They would either get castrated or decide that being an eunuch was not the life they really wanted and went off of the drug.

Think you will find the same side effects for other anti androgen.

Being more tired is a side effect of lowered testosterone.

It has been approved in most other countries and frequently used in most of Europe and Canada. D

thrombosis and embolism are all effects of reduced testosterone. If castrated you would have the same problems.

Amazing, they got it right. They forgot to tell you that the same thing applies to surgical castration.

I have been on androcur now for 13 months. The side effects don't bother me bar one, I am always very tired.Still have sex three times a week with my wife, she gets me hard every time, but I don't necessrily come every time.The othe side effects are the same as all others, I have never in the 13 months,[after effects kicked in] had a night erection or sexual dreams. My hair is good, breasts have increased in size, hair on chest, back, lower legs and underarm all but disappeared.I basically like what I have become apart from bigger breasts and very tired. Am also much, much weaker.

What effect, if any, do mega doses of B vitamins (+1000% of everything except Folate & Biotin) have on your energy level? Just curious.
