I think you and I are off on a similar time schedule. I wonder how we will feel at the 6 month mark. I'm just hoping for any sort of improvement. If I can feel the way I felt like 3 days ago I'd be so happy. I felt this new energy spike and it was really blissful but it went away and I got fucking angry. My instinct says when our dopamine receptors recover, we will probably feel like we are on meth or some drug because it has been robbed from us for so long. I really want that feeling back.
Also, how is your sleeping? Is it broken? I sleep for like 2.5-3 hours then wake up and sleep for another 2.5-3 hours and I am not well rested throughout the day. I suffer from insomnia and I hope that improves soon too.
I see what you're saying with masturbation. I thought the same way and did it out of extreme boredom but masturbating ended up hurting me and causing me head pressure and making me feel more heavy so I'm going to take a long break. I can get a full erection but the experience feels very manual, and the orgasm is boring and not worth it. But like you said before, I am worried about storing semen and if it's healthy to do that.
I still don't agree with the half life theory very much. It takes 5-6 half lives for the medication to clear, but at half life 2.5 (around 125 days), around 83% of the poison is cleared, and it doesn't seem that the remaining 17% can be causing all these problems, but I am not very sure. For me, it makes more sense that this is a "drug-induced brain injury" with desensitized dopamine receptors. No idea why there are maintenance doses for this poison considering 6-24 month damage is already done in the first two weeks of a single injection.
