    My post azelaic acid crash happened mid August, it was very traumatic but I don't need to explain that part.

    I was immediately put on a low dose of androgel, my T levels were extremely low. I don't regret doing this, as it stabilized me and put my mindset where it needed to be.

    I started a paleo diet right away and saw a naturopath. Within a month I was taking:

    ubiquonol
    acetyl-L carnitine
    lecithin (for PS)
    iberogast
    digestive enzymes
    ashwagandha
    maca
    tongkat
    tribulus
    magnesium citrate
    melatonin
    zopiclone

    Soon after this, I was lucky enough to discover and start following CD's protocol. I did the juice fast, been doing the breathing exercises, cold showers, sun therapy, etc. Herb/supplement wise I have recently added:

    pine pollen
    shilajit resin
    D3
    macuna pruriens (in the mail)
    cordyceps (in the mail)
    bacopa (in the mail)
    he shou wu (in the mail)

    In addition to this I have also added:

    intermittent fasts (16 hours every day)
    niacinamide
    garlic
    passionflower extract
    lavender oil capsules
    gotu kola (buying tomorrow)

    I go to church every week and repeat positive mantras when the anxiety gets bad

    I am happy to say that after only 2.5 months I have greatly improved. My libido is existent and sometimes strong (comes in waves), my muscle weakness has improved, my GI symptoms and mood have greatly improved. I'm working part time and doing light exercises every day. I have even managed to reduce my androgel dosage to 3/4 of a 2.5mg packet (this is a very small amount) while continuing to improve.

    The TRT got me off the ground, but CDs protocol plus my own additions have given real improvements the last few weeks. I look forward to further recovery
    Up the herbs, drop the Test.

    Also, you should drop the sleeping pills. They are a bitch to get off of.

    Congrats on your progress thus far.

    I think it's even harder for guys in Canada to say no to pharms because it's heavily government subsidized.

    talked to this other pfser and he went the pharma route cuz for him money was tight and he gets the drugs for free from his job. sucks but it is what it is

    Yeah, I've heard that from a few people, not many though. You have to listen to your body when it comes to anything you're putting into it. Like I said, for me personally, creatine has a very subtle, yet noticeable calming effect on me.

    Everything I recommend is based upon what I personally experienced and from what others have mentioned to me about their own journey's following the regimen. It is more of a guideline or blueprint to follow. Ultimately, you have to follow it to the best of your ability without giving yourself any negative reactions.
