Your mileage is going to vary. Some don't need it, some do. Ultimately up to you whether you want to do the kitchen sink approach or not.

honestly they're good in a pinch. the problem is if you rely on them (pretty easy.) but sometimes you just need some god damned sleep. bica did that to me.

lol

Glad to see you think so highly of the opinions of animals, OP. I'm thinking about changing to a scavenger diet and dying of natural causes or else to wolf attacks in 3 years or so, myself.

Your mileage is going to vary. Some people report good results. It was a pretty bad match for me, personally. It's definitely important to be very careful and accurate with our information when discussing these drugs, and to not promote their cavalier usage, but this underlying current of...

this is consistent with what i've read. 50mg and beyond seems to increase risk for no reason. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/15532739.2017.1290566

There would be no purpose to taking bica and cpa at the same time, no. Bica is just the safer drug, though measuring how much you need is trickier. You're not going to have very even levels taking 2mg EOD if you do buccal/sublingual, which is conducive to generally...feeling bad. Most people...

I think most people transitioning start at 2mg and then work up to 4/6mg. 2 isn't really a lot. Changes are also going to be slow, not overnight, so if you notice you're not comfortable with what's going on, you have time to back out. I don't have data to back this up but from what I've read...

that's a good cat

Doesn't bica take a couple of months or so to fully kick in? That's what I remember anyway, and I didn't start feeling it's full anti-androgenic effects until around the 2 month mark.

IDK about anyone else, I don't think my hair loss is a good representation of most men's, but I tried this exact combo (dutasteride/min/bi-estro specifically) for a while (estriol was the most last addition, lasted about six months) and didn't notice sh*t in terms of regrowth.

nice meltdown

literally a gay dude who also definitely wears makeup

Yeah, it doesn't make sense to me that it would. I'm sure it's not placebo though. You could attribute hot flashes to placebo, and fatigue to the sleep quality being bad, but the sleep thing is deffo real. Maybe it's GABA related like bridge suggested.

So, sometime since increasing to 50mg bica two weeks ago, my sleep quality really tanked. Currently, I'm constantly fatigued and waking up every two hours on the dot, usually with the feeling that I have to urinate. mild hot flashes too. These are symptoms of androgen deprivation, which, I find...
