Just a second reply to address your situation... I'm sure you are doing whatever you can, but honestly here in north New Jersey, I have never had any problems with CVS and Walgreens for Adderall. They almost always have it in stock. At the longest it's a two day wait. I know that not all...

Golfboy, This pharmacy immediately struck down Adderall AND testosterone. I have never had any other pharmacy do anything like this in these past three years. I have had Adderall filled at CVS, Walgreens, Costco, and Acme without a problem. Sometimes they had to wait for a shipment, but they...

TL/DR: Two different days, two different employees, two different Rx's, same outcome April 8th I go to ShopRite to pick up the sildenafil my doctor had called in. Really nice employee, really nice interaction. Then I give her an Adderall script. She looks at it and immediately says "We don't...

My urologist was going over my meds. I told him I was taking 2.5mg Cialis a day. He asked if I was using a compounding pharmacy, and I told him "No, I just split the 20's that you prescribed me way back when." Then he said 'Why don't you just take 20mg a day?" I said I thought 5 or 10 was the...

I never even heard of it until today. Plugging it into the search field, it mostly shows up in posts that just mention it in passing One poster said it plummeted his SHBG. Is it unpredictable and hard to dose?

Check and check. Good to know I can rule out thyroid, and I have an a1c test coming up, so I'll be checking the diabetes angle there. You're 100% right about the types of food making a difference. I can attest to that. But lately I am just not satisfied no matter what I eat. This started...

I'd love to try semaglutide, but between getting approved and the cost, it's a pipedream. I have done a little bit of self-help stuff, and I will give your suggestion a try. I appreciate it.

TL/DR: Endo says these results are fine. She's not concerned about the T4 Free, even though it is barely normal. Is she right? Should she order more tests? T4 Free, Direct: .84 ng/dL (.82 - 1.77) TSH: 1.290 uIU/mL (.45 - 4.5) T3: 86 ng/dL (71 - 180) Recently visited an endo. I like her a...

LOL. At this time in my life, my impetus has been appetite suppression, and this stack does blunt my appetite. But I'm eating regardless. I've got some kind of restlessness going on that has me wanting to eat all the time. Of course, I can just stop. I've used willpower before. But the...

I have made my own ephedrine/caffeine/aspirin cocktails, and the effects are nowhere near the old Xenadrine. I admittedly use far less caffeine than Xenadrine did, but I still wonder whether there's another piece to the puzzle. The euphoric effect I get from my mixtures is about 1/10th that of...

How profound can the changes be? I never hear it touted as an AI alternative. Can it be? Edit: I read the embedded study. The subjects were taking cialis 10 to 20 mg on demand, not daily. I wonder what these results can suggest about a lower dosage taken daily.

"My (calculated) free T is low. It is low because of my high SHBG." This is circular logic. Calculated free T is based solely on total T vs SHBG. Even if you believe in the methodology, blaming SHBG for low calculated free T is like blaming flames for a fire.

CVS was giving me the 10ml vial even when the Rx didn't specify it. Then they just stopped. I preferred using one vial but I never questioned them, because for stockpiling purposes mini vials make much more sense.

So many of us make ourselves insane, double triple and quadruple guessing ourselves, because of the variables. I changed protocols ad nauseam and quit twice. It took a lot of foolishness to just lead me right back to what my doctor originally prescribed, albeit with an AI. I wasted a lot...

Your doctor is going to shit if you tell her you want an E2 sensitive test. And despite many claims that it's necessary, I've never seen its results differ much from the standard assay when people have run both simultaneously. All things considered I would just ask to have your E2 tested and...
