[QUOTE="vic909, post: 243938, member: 44936"] Hello, I'm 23 and used finasteride and other 5AR inhibitors when I was 18 which is about the time all my symptoms began. I have brain fog, poor memory, anhedonia, low libido, zero morning/nocturnal erections in many years, etc. I stopped the finasteride when I was 19 but the symptoms remained and my life was destroyed. My testosterone is usually in the 500s and occasionally low 600s. Free testosterone has recently been 20.1 ng/dl (5.25-20.7). Estradiol was 29, SHBG 26, LH 4.2, IGF-1 181. DHT was tested about a year ago and was 260 (112-955). The only hormones that are consistently elevated are adrenal ones. DHEAS is usually in the 700s (80-560), Progesterone was recently 2.4 (0.2-0.9), and pregnenolone was 1100 (55-450). I have seen multiple endocrinologists who told my I do not have congenital adrenal hyperplasia, only one said I might have a mild form and tried small doses of prednisone to suppress the elevated adrenal hormones but it didn't help with symptoms. I recently had a consult with a Dr. from Defy and was told I could try testosterone cream applied to the scrotum in order to see if the rise in DHT would improve my symptoms. I was told to do 2 clicks AM and 2 clicks PM but was also told I could start with just 2 clicks AM at first if I like. I was also prescribed 350 IU of hCG 3x a week. I never wanted to use TRT at this age and shut down my own production especially since my testosterone levels are pretty decent but I don't know what else to do. I would sincerely appreciate any advice you can give me. Thank you [/QUOTE]
