I ve noticed ache in balls and weaknes half hour after every dose .
From what i've read thats a too high dose... not to mention according to examine.com everything over 400 or 500mg (cant remember which) is very supressive on testosterone levels, do your research man... wtf is swolesource, sounds some roidhead forum, cant take those guys serious, come on...

One thing to keep in mind with Licorice root is that it is strongly enterohepatically re-circulated. This means your body can only remove a very small amount of it with each pass through the liver, where it goes into bile salts, enters your small intestine, and is reabsorbed, when you eat fat. Any licorce root you take stays in your system for months to years.

Google for enterohepatic circulation and licorcice and read the toxicity and overdose case studies. Be careful with dosing, don't take it for too long, and take plenty of potassium (if you get anxiety or insomnia while on it, this is why. It causes significant deficiency). Take powdered potassium 500-1000mg to counter it. Capsules don't come in useful doses.

I took 1 pill (whatever) of licorice root and 1 pill of kudzu root on sunday morning. I also took one pill of licorice on monday morning. I also did nofap from Sunday. On wednesday, yesterday, I was 95% recovered. I still am today. I expect it to go away like it did with the saw palmetto, once it does I'm trying ella like I mentioned in the other thread.

Mate you know saw palmetto can cause PFS, right? Stay away from that stuff.

I have been pretty absent as of late on the boards because I realized I was obsessing. It helped with depression to take a break but sure enough, my ding-dong still don't work.
Anyway, We are pretty much sure at this point that estrogen definitely helps PSSD, correct? Hence Kudzu and licorice root improving symptoms? I wonder how lost_soul is doing these days. He's the only person on here that I know of that did a significant estrogen trial. Maybe the improvements stuck?

Don't worry Ghost, I won't be taking any more. I don't have any symptoms of PFS so I lucked out I guess. I did only take 2 capsules of SP (then again, I only took 2 paxil, lol)

It's interesting that SP had an impact though. It's gotta be kinda related.

I remember I had complete but temporary recovery after consumption of licorice root but I couldn't take it for more than a few days because it caused very strong anxiety and heart problems.
Any advice how to avoid these side effects?
