Ready to start my chemical castration trial. Critique/advise requested please!
Posted: Wed May 31, 2017 5:34 am
I've been gathering various info and reading up on chemical castration the past few months and based on what I've read and what other people have experienced, I think I've decided on my "drug combo" based around my goals.
My goal is to bring my testosterone down to castration levels, hopefully preventing boners 100% and eventually causing atrophy of both my cock and balls... (but I'm aware that's a "your results may vary" kinda deal). I don't really want much feminisation. I'd be happy to lose body hair and perhaps get a rounded butt.. but definitely NOT boobs! I'm pretty hypersexual and I've actually damaged a lot of relationships due to being constantly sexual. I'm hoping this will calm me down.
So.... based on that goal, I've decided on:
Triptorelin - 3.75mg monthly injection
To shut down my balls and reduce/halt testosterone production. Decided on this instead of Androcur, based on the reduced effects on the liver and ease of dosing. I won't know how long 3.75mg will keep my T levels down, so I'll tweak the frequency based on my reaction. I'm aware that any excess triptorelin doesn't get absorbed by the body, so I'm not going to bother with injecting the full 11.5mg and expecting it to last 3 months.
Raloxifene - 60mg daily.
To provide some Estrogen benefits like bone density and libido (not sure that's actually medically proven...) and to also reduce the risk of gyno. (I'm probably also going to start taking vitamin D and calcium supplements to help ward off osteoporosis... for what it's worth?)
Finasteride - 5mg daily???
This is where I need some advise. I can't remember why I kept this in my list. I know it converts testosterone to DHT and it's mostly used for hair loss and enlarged prostates....but is there any advantage/disadvantage in me taking this along with the other drugs? Will it clash or cause issues? Is there no point taking this if I'm already taking Raloxifene and Triptorelin?
I'm currenly waiting to get a low testosterone test, so once I'll have that, I'll start a journal and hopefully I'll be good to go!
Really appreciate any input and advice/critique on my chosen drug combo, as soon as my remaining questions/confusion is cleared, I'm going to get started!
