Shipwreck of the Singular: Healthcare’s Castaways - Dr. David Healy

Shipwreck of the Singular, which Samizdat has just published, took more time to write than all my other books combined. The others tumbled out - often in just a few weeks. Unpublishable Pharmageddon took 3 weeks. But it then took 4 years to find a publisher. I took on an agent to help get a

What are the treatments?

 

What are the treatments?

This is for PFS which is not necessarily the same thing, but for this one very vocal guy, the answer was just get on TRT with an ample dose of cream and be patient:

So the answer might be something like: let your brain marinate in a soup of jacked up T, DHT, and E2 for however long it takes to respond with some libido. It probably won't work for everyone, but it worked for at least that guy. It's the same strategy I'm trying for what I think is post-accutane sexual dysfunction. Crank the levels up, live your life, check back in a year.

@FunkOdyssey any updates on your post-accutane sexual dysfunction?

My overall function still isn't great, but I have had flashes or windows of major improvement, particularly lately while experimenting with adding hCG to my TRT. I'm working on dialing in the combination.

Yeah I experience the same. Starting a new regimen gives me windows of improvement but it doesn't really stick either...

Have you had trouble convincing doctors that you have post Accutane sexual dysfunction?

 

Have you had trouble convincing doctors that you have post Accutane sexual dysfunction?

I'm sure I would if I bothered to share that. I find doctors totally useless at solving anything there isn't a well known treatment algorithm for, so I see no value in discussing it. You would have better luck with ChatGPT at this point if you want creative medical problem solving.

Absolutely. It's hell if you want to talk about improving libido or talk about syndromes they don't even know like PFS.
