[QUOTE=ojcoolj;39232442]lol Even more I'm pretending to be a brainless idiot[/QUOTE] I'm starting to feel like i should be feeling bad for that guy is he legit autistic or something?
[QUOTE=ojcoolj;39232442]lol Even more I'm pretending to be a brainless idiot[/QUOTE] He needs a serious reality check. He needs his barriers broken down and he needs to see that the only person making this difficult on him is himself. And he needs to further see that the reason why his "brother" is dead is because he's too much of a child to accept her as his sister instead. But no, he does shit to cause harm thinking its actually progressing into something better. Once he realizes him losing his best friend is his own fucking fault instead of transgender people's fault only then will someone be able to get through to him.

So thinking about throwing a staters-guide to self-medding together. Just a quick how-to, because I notice a theme of a lot of you girls wanting pills and not being able to get on them for whatever reason. Any interest?
[QUOTE=JDB;39233119]Kinda hard not to when autism acts like this towards you.[/QUOTE] Oi! I have Aspergers. Seriously, can at least you girls/guys/others stop using the term Autistic in that manner? It's medically incorrect and only throws fuel on the prejudices that we who actually have the diagnosis (and aren't total douchebags) have to deal with!

[B]Self-Medication 101 (For Transgirls~) [/B][U][I]Why self-medicate? [/I][/U]There's a whole lot of reasons to want to self-medicate. For some it can be a desire not to wait, not to go through the drama and rigmarole. Who else is going to know you better than you? If you're a girl, you're a girl. You probably know that well enough. If you don't, then think about it some more. Other reasons might be that you don't have insurance, or you don't want people to know or you'd just prefer to have control over your own regiment. [U][I]Cost[/I][/U] Expected cost will be ~$30 per month, but you'll need $91 upfront and that'll get you roughly 3 months worth. That's at a dose that's probably sufficient for most girls to start out with. You can ramp up dosages and introduce other more esoteric meds as you go, but the basics will be that you're on 100mg of [I]Spironolactone[/I] and 2mg of [I]Estradiol Valerate[/I] per day. Check out the first post of this thread for a more detailed description of these medications and what each does. [I][U]Stuff to Know [/U][/I]Your blood pressure will drop after your spiro dose, so have something salty to eat around that point. On that, you'll find yourself craving salt in general and that's okay because you'll have an excess of potassium from now on. What's that mean to you? Cut out any dark soda from your diet. Seriously. Scrap it. That stuff's dangerous now. Bananas, too. Everything else is pretty okay, though. Keep your water levels up to account for the higher salt levels. And understand that you're going to be going to the bathroom a [I]lot[/I] because spironolactone is a pretty potent diuretic. Note: Many people like to point out the increased risks of DVT with estrogen pills, but understand that those risks have only ever been linked to Ethylestradiol and equine estrogen, and [I]never [/I]in any conclusive manner to Estradiol Valerate. Oh, if you drink or smoke a lot? Cut it out. Your liver is going to be processing a lot of hormones now, and smoking inhibits the effects of Estradiol. There's also the infertility thing. That's a thing, too. [U][I] Ordering [/I][/U]Head over to [URL="http://www.inhousepharmacy.biz/p-492-spirotone-100-spironolactone.aspx"]here[/URL] and grab a bottle of 100 for $46. Then go [URL="http://www.inhousepharmacy.biz/p-166-estrofem-2mg.aspx"]here[/URL] and add a pack of 84 for $45 to your cart. Shipping is free. Total cost will be $91 for 84 days worth of pills. Expect about a two week delivery time to most anywhere in the US or Australia. I'm not sure about anywhere else. [I][U]Doses [/U][/I]Pick a time of day that you'll be awake both the AM/PM variants of. I use 11. You can use 7 or 8 or whatever you like. For effective hormone replacement, however, you need to be consistent. You'll be taking one [I]half[/I] of a Spiro pill (they're scored down the center) along with one pretty blue Estradiol pill in your AM dose. In the evening, take the other half of your spiro pill. That's going to give you 100mg of Spironolactone and 2mg of Estradiol per day, which is enough to get results but not too much that your body will freak out and spike your T-levels in retaliation. It's important to split your spiro across the day because spiro only has a primary mechanism of action of about 10 hours anyway, so you need the split dose for full suppression. [I][U]Future[/U][/I] In three months, it's probably not a bad idea to get a female hormone level panel. There're private pathology places that can do this for you for around $55 without insurance. You can use the results to gauge where you are vs where you want to be. Raise your doses accordingly, or stay with what you got. It's up to you, and that's what self-medication is about. It's all up to you. Your body. Your choice. [I][U]Notes [/U][/I]If you're on the fence, still, then only order and take the Spironolactone. It'll suppress your testosterone and stop you getting anymore masculine. It won't inherently feminize you on its own, though, and you [I]need[/I] a primary sex hormone eventually. You can stay on spiro for upwards of a year without any permanent changes, though. So if you're on the edge of deciding, then you might want to just order Spiro and not Estradiol.

[QUOTE=Pudding~;39232586]What's everyones dosages? I'm on 400mg of Spiro, 8mg of Estradiol, 5mg of Finasta and 200mg of Micronized Progesterone. Progress is pretty nice ♥[/QUOTE] 4mg Estradiol, 100 mg Cyproterone Acetate each day. 2mg, 50 mg each 12th hour.
taking only spiro for longer periods of time is dangerous
Self medding is really fucking expensive. Even more so here because you basically have to buy them on some sort of black market unless you already have the prescription.
4mg progynova 200mg spiro once every 24 hours i need to fix up my daily rythm atm i have no rythm so its hard to be awake every 12 hours
[QUOTE=Inufin;39233567]taking only spiro for longer periods of time is dangerous[/QUOTE] it mentions that in the post? [QUOTE=HorizoN;39233570]Self medding is really fucking expensive.

You can take Spiro on its own for up to a year at 100mg daily without bringing too much danger. It's prescribed in similar doses for patients with particular cardiac conditions to put that in perspective. Having no [I]primary sex hormone[/I] for long periods can be an issue, especially when it comes to things like bone density; but understand that a year isn't a 'long period' ♥

I wish self medding was as easy for me as it is for you gals
What's the difference between Cyproterone acetate and Spironolactone?
I wish I had the money for selfmedicating. And the guts.
[QUOTE=Jawyen;39233775]What's the difference between Cyproterone acetate and Spironolactone?[/QUOTE] From what I can tell, Cyproterone acetate (CPA) is much more potent than Spiro, though has much more effect on the liver and other certain things. Seems to be something you shouldn't take if you self med. But that's not my case and I'm being "monitored", so I guess things are fine.
