On my current regimen alone, I'm producing very little to no testosterone. I'm taking Estradiol, Spironolactone, and Finasteride.

Only way to halt the man level production of testosterone is to take T-Blockers.

Seems like they start those who transition pre-teen on T-Blockers so its potent enough to work its magic.

Jw were you always on finasteride and if not did your T get to its current levels w/o it?

I started Finasteride when I started Spiro.

You could look up which foods produce testosterone in your body and which foods do the opposite and eat accordingly. You are what you eat. Also if your body is very healthy(stable, drawn down) it is more pliable and able to transition more easily. Exercise up to 30 minutes will produce testosterone. Exercise 60 minutes or more and all hormone levels start to drop. Always depends on your starting point. It is still a function of the mind(will-power) to facilitate the changes. Hormone levels in a favorable(feminine) level will help in the physical realm of chemical transition. Body does follow mind.

After about 12 months on Androcur, my T factories just shut down. And haven't restarted, despite the fact I've not taken Androcur in almost a year..

You can get on T-blockers...

...or you can get someone to kick you in the balls REALLY hard, give you testicular torsion, and then doctors will have no choice but to remove them.

***I do NOT recommend the latter option. That was a joke. Don't do it. Seriously. DO NOT DO IT! (In case you had any ideas).

Where can I get androcur or t blockers over the counter, as I cant online (visa gift wont activate it because im a minor), and I cant get a prescription. I want it out of my system and my male parts to shrivel up and die!

Unfortunately Susan's does not promote self medication.  So we are unable to give you any help on where or how to get medications without a prescription.

Numbsong, let me amplify what Sarah just said.  Self-medication is dumb.  It is dangerous and not anything you should be considering.  One of our very nicest members recently suffered a deep vein thrombosis (blood clot) from self-medicating.

My question to you is, why can't you get a prescription?  Or be under a doctor's care?   You could certainly talk to a school counselor, nurse, or psychological professional.

If you feel you are transgendered, then the best thing to do is start therapy to deal with your issues, then go from there.
