-Age? 32
-Which 19-nor substance gave you PDD (Deca, Tren, NPP etc.)? Cycle length? Dosage?
Interestingly enough mine was Anavar. It was for 1.5 yrs on and off. Last cycle was 20 mg for 12 weeks. However the source of the var was not pharma grade and honestly could have contained anything.
-Date your PDD started - summer of 2019
-Has it been at least 6 months since you last administered the said 19-nor and have your Testosterone, Free Test and Estrogen levels returned to normal either naturally or through TRT? (If the answer to either of these is no then we should be cautious to assume that you actually have PDD. Your focus should be optimising your Test levels)
Yes
-Are you now on TRT or have your Test/ Free Test/ Estro levels returned to normal naturally?
They've returned to norm naturally. Did PCT with clomid and nolva but not HCG.
-Give a rating for the following out of 10 compared with before PDD. 10/10 means the same as before (feel free to give further comments):
-Sex drive - 2/10
-Erection quality - 2/10
-Orgasm Quality - 3/10. Sometimes PE occurs.
-Ability to experience negative emotion - haven't really paid attention to this
-Ability to experience positive emotion - 1/10
-Ability to experience feelings of confidence (feeling good about being you) - 1/10
-Feelings of pleasure seeking - 1/10
-Feelings of hunger (thinking about what you will eat and salivating) - 4/10
-Ability to handle stress/ not be affected by stress - 3/10
-Memory and cognitive ability - 2/10
-Sleep quality - 2/10. I sleep very poorly. Even when i get 8 hrs i wake up feeling not rested.
-Energy levels - 2/10
-Depression - Always slightly depressed. But for no reason except the PDD.
-Anxiety - skyrocketed since the var usage.
-Have you seen any change (improvement or worsening) of symptoms since PDD started? Do you know what brought about these changes?
Gradually worsened over the years
-During or after your cycle, did you experience any digestive issues? (Bloating, diarrhea, constipation etc)
No
-Any other symptoms of PDD or changes you think were caused by PDD?
-Any other comments?
All my hormones are in the usual ranges. I had an ultrasound of my testes done and a doppler study of my penis. My testes have shrunk for sure, and are 10.5 and 8.5 cc whereas avg volume sits about at 14-15cc for healthy people. However this does not seem to be causing any hormones to be off. Doppler showed healthy blood flow in penis.
Despite these ED problems are rampant. My sex drive is way lower than before but it's still there to an extent, so i do occasionally get hard but erections are at 40-60%. And then i lose it quickly. It's not psychological, happens even when I'm really into the moment. Tadalafil has been working to keep performance up. But i seem to have lost something.
Not sure if this is related but i tried MDMA thrice since the cycle and it did absolutely fuck all for me despite my friends who were also on it getting high.
I had a question - i noticed a list of doctors in another user's post. I do want to reach out to one of them but it's hard to know exactly who they are. Can someone post the list again with a link to where they practice and their full names and specialty please? It would really help the community.
