I was already fixed, but I decided to take fenugreek for libido not knowing it had 5ar inhibitor properties. How could I be so stupid!

Anyway I had been taking fenugreek on and off for a month, I got drunk which has never affected my PFS, and I woke up with a hangover the next day feeling very off. I had brain fog and anxiety. No sexual sides, I'm still able to get hard. And also I have no insomnia, I actually have the opposite. I've been sleeping and taking way more naps than usual.

Idk if it's my hypochondria since I am a huge hypochondriac or if it really is a crash. It gets worse the more I think about it but idk. I'm crashing out. Are second crashes worse than the 1st ones? Has anyone recovered from a second crash? How long did it take?

I'm really just losing hope here. I thought I was done with this mess.

To my knowledge fenugreek wasn't a 5ar inhibitor but I came to find out it is just today after finishing an entire box of 30 capsules 🙃

I will say it helped my libido pretty well though. I was able to wake up with morning wood and I felt a good amount of sexual desire. The reason it raised my suspicion was because I had a pretty intense sleep paralysis episode, the second in the past month or so.

It's not unusual for me to have sleep paralysis but the intensity was stark. I woke up feeling so confused and the only variable that's changed is the fenugreek. So maybe it's triggering the neurological/mental aspects of PFS.

I didn't take it consistently just every now and then so maybe that's helped me not have a "crash" but it does help your libido for sure. Hopefully I don't have a super crash if I stop taking it 😭. Has anyone else taken fenugreek? What were your experiences?
