Hi everyone,

I just started  estradiol, and I'm super pumped about it! My doc wants to give that a month and then up the dosage and add Spiro, then finasteride a month after that. But I'm kind of impatient; I'm considering taking some saw palmetto supplements for antiandrogen benefits. Is this a good idea, waste of money, or a horrible idea? I'm probably just overanxious about starting my transition.....

Thanks!
Tori Jean

At best herbs are useless waste of money....at worst they can maim or kill....

Thanks Peky!

Hi Tori Jean,

I know anxiety is a powerful emotion. However if you 'were' a winning Formula 1 racing car, would you want someone to add kerosene to the racing fuel just to top the tank up?

Remember; throughout your journey, you are the Formula 1 car, that needs the professionals to ensure you remain the winning one. This is one hell of a 'race.'

Be safe, well and happy.

Lotsa huggs
