Is this a prostate side effect from sarcosine

Medications
1

it’s hard to describe but it’s on that spot, and it’s not a pain, but more likely a rr rrr r rrrr rr feeling that is not constantly

i’ve read it’s a bio marker for prostate cancer, but some researcher claim not

should i be worried? for the rest it’s helping me

2

i don’t want to scare people off, i think it’s helping me

3

I don’t take it because of the tenuous link to prostate cancer.

4

The reason I won’t try it too. I have several genotypes that point to a higher risk of prostate cancer as it is. I am not keen on tempting fate further.

I am a prostate cancer survivor. Am reluctant to try sarcosine because of possible association.

Think you are right.

14

How much is your dose from the current Sarcosine brand?

15

1g twice daily. Am sure I am going to quit it. Is not good for me :worried:

16

that’s a dissapointment Jimbob, but did your depression get better and anxiety worse?

17

Motivation didn’t really get better but the anxiety definitely got worse.

18

did you try for 2 weeks a full trial? if it’s so bad, i would recommend talking to a doctor

no improvement is no point in taking it anymore, i’m sorry, but there are other options

i tried minocycline 50 mg and it worked after 3 days cured. but i cannot tolerate and its too dangerous for me too you will find something Jimbob that do work and is safe
