I'm planning to run a prolactin busting cycle in January. Having previously used other L-DOPA based products with only moderate success, possibly due to a B6 deficiency, I'm, considering giving Inhibit-P a try this time around.
However, one thing seriously concerns me. I'm not an anabolic user, never have been. My motivation in balancing my hormones is that my "drive" has been low for some time, not just sex-wise but in general. After repeated blood tests and runs with other compounds (I've just done a massive log of BLR's Rebirth and Letrone with massive success) I've come to the conclusion that the root of my sub-optimal test and lack of motivation is almost certainly related to the fact that my prolactin generally comes back in the range of 200-240. This is within the lab range, but it's much closer to the high end to the low, which is why I'm looking into running an OTC product instead of bring out the big guns.
I'm hesitant, though. My reading of Vitex Agnus Castus related articles indicates that it has been used as a libido reduction agent, possibly due to an antagonistic effect on D2 receptors. Would this not negate the mood effects of a drop in prolactin? As my primary reason for doing this is motivation and mood issues almost certainly related to prolactin dominance over dopamine, the last time I want to do is make what dopamine I have less effective.
What are people's thoughts on this? Or is it one of those cases wherein enduring a month of nastiness due to Vitex will result in a long-term cure for the prolactin issue and thus be worth it?
Pretty conflicted about this. I'd like to try a supp which has less than 99% L-DOPA since there seem to be other compounds in MP which help with these issues, but I'm not sure if it's worth risking taking something which will kill off my sex drive and motivation by blocking the action of Dopamine.
