Any advice how to avoid these side effects?

Silexan/Lavender oil?

I have low estrogen, so licorice root might be worthwhile me trying. I'll get this to try and counter the increased anxiety (which I hope will also help my GAD):

On another note, did you ever get your sex hormones tested?

Thanks. No, I have never had my hormone levels (estrogen, progesterone) tested because I'm currently taking birth control pills. But I had my prolactin levels checked two years ago and it was above normal.

Yeah all the TV promotions are all nice until we got guys complaining about limp dick syndrome and then next we have class-action lawsuits against supplement companies who convince themselves "all is well". Saw palmetto is absolutely garbage. No one should take that shit. If you got prostate problems just take tocotrienols, Swedish Flower Pollen and such, its a lot safer!

Oh and btw, nowadays, a lot of these "formulas" have multiple anti-androgenic herbs, you combine that with massive amounts of Zinc (more than needed) and the result is almost certainly decreased DHT. So perhaps, Ghost, we should pin a post that warns PSSD patients not to touch these herbs as it may at the very least, hinder progress. Maybe something like "herbs and supplements to watch out for" or herbs that may negatively affect PSSD. Many aren't aware of this.

How about this?

Hello everyone

I was wondering if anyone here tried licorice root and which effects did you have ! For how long did you take it ? And which quantity? Did it improve anything?
I decided to experiment it, i took 11 hours ago and the first effects it caused me were abdominal pain and diarrhea which i didn't have for a few months to be honest lol do you think it means anything bad ? or just cleansing my system?

Please tell me your experiences


Thanks in advance

Not yet but too much licroice root increases kidney burden.

It gave me energy, better erections and morning wood. No effect on libido or anhedonia, speculating this was all about cortisol increase.

Effect wears off however, at least for me. Some people cycle it.

Gave me severe anxiety. I only lasted like 4 days.
