Default Re: Reverse T negative feedback

First let me say that you're fortunate to live in a country that provides you access to such meds without prescription. The irony is... here in the USA we are supposed to be the example of democracy, however, it seems as each year passes we are fast heading in the other direction.

With the FDA and many docs being in the hip pocket of big pharma, it seems as though every time a drug is discovered that can help, like l-dopa and GHB, they take it off the market and/or make it a prescription med so they can control it and prevent those who need it from benefiting from same.

Unfortunately, when your talking capitalism, it's typically all about profit, which means it can't be all about healing us. In fact, to heal us would be in direct opposition of capitalism as it would jeopardize profits. Now, i realize there are some good docs out there so I don't want to lump then all in the same boat. However many, especially those at the top of their class, are often courted by big pharma before they even get out of school. One of my friends is one of the leading doctors in the country in pain medicine and he was courted by big pharm in college. Now, he spend his time teaching and enjoying all expense paid vacations complements of big pharma. He once told me that on a per hour basis big pharma actually rewards him more than his profession

Anyway, another subject for another day. About your use of baclofen....

It does not surprise me that you are using it as a sleep aid. There are many studies supporting/confirming its use in this regard by taking a dose 30 +/- mg (if I remember correctly) before bedtime. Also, there are studies supporting its use as a diet pill, etc., etc..

Yes, I can see where you might be happy knowing that all this time you were getting a good dose of GH and didn't even know it not to mention it has probably helped in other areas as well such as your T program assuming personal experience duplicates the studies.

Nice to have you aboard. Please feel free to post anytime as should all others. This thread may have been started by me, however, I do not want to hog the stage (I do better in the background) but rather encourage those interested in this subject to exchange ideas and info so we can all learn accordingly.

Regards,
