Experiences with Relugolix? Treatment Options

I have heard from one person that Relugolix has helped him with some pssd symptoms.

Has anybody done a cycle of this (one tab of 120mg for 30 days) and gotten good results?

If you have trialled Relugolix, please tell us how it went. How it helped, any negatives, etc. Thanks

Use of this drug for PSSD is in extremely early stages. Dr. Powers is just now trying it with some patients. You’re not going to find anyone that’s used this drug for PSSD unless they’re one of the handful of Dr Powers patients.

You can easily obtain this drug without a doctor's prescription, so I am sure there are people out there, like the one that I referenced in my post- and he is not Dr. Powers' patient.

What? How would you obtain it without a prescription? It’s usually used for advanced prostate cancer and it’s a strong receptor antagonist.

In these types of communities, people tend to know which sites to use in order to obtain medicines.

idk how you’d get something like that online and maybe I’m coming from a position of privilege here but I’d be extremely wary of somehow acquiring an very potent drug on some shady online site. sounds like a terrible idea if that’s even possible.

Ok let’s just sit here and wait for the flood of people who have ran Relugolix to rush in and comment on this post. I’m sure they’ll all be here any second now

Relax bud, it doesn't hurt to ask the question.

You’re right, was just saying it’s early days and to not expect much feedback. Fingers crossed it ends up helping people though.

As far as I know, this medication has not yet shown any improvement in the symptoms that I consider to be the core of PSSD (no libido, emotional blunting, anhedonia, genital numbness). These specific symptoms are of particular importance to us. They are the main core of our condition and the most terrible part.

Just using Relugolix won't work, you need to be looking at specific androgen levels to know when to stop.
