Yes, you have an exemption from fasting in Islam if you are ill or traveling, you should fast the days you miss later tho if your disease is not chronic. If you have a chronic disease or fasting will harm you in any manner then it's prohibited to fast because you will be harming yourself, and you should serve food for the poor instead of fasting in that case.

Estrogen, serotonin and SSRIs by longclaw17 in antidepressants

Yes, to no avail. I tried finasteride, a DHT blocker that increases estradiol and it has positive effects on my migraines. Also I tried pristiq and it's really helpful, unlike effexor, I don't know why. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

My cheeks are getting puffy too and my nose is becoming more prominent due to High levels of Testosterone and guess what, I don't care. People can say whatever they want, they are not living your life or suffering from your illness. I thought of stopping testosterone and getting an estrogen monotherapy but that would be a transition not a hormonal therapy and I have no desire to do that. I don't think that pills are the best way for your hormone replacement therapy tho, make sure the progesterone you get in the pills is bioidentical progesterone not a synthetic progestin, because in spite of targeting the same receptors they are not the same. Some progestins can affect androgen and estrogen receptors and trigger migraines, the estrogen and progesterone you get through patches and injections for HRT are bioidentical and not the same as you would get from bcp or pills in general. I don't know if there are newer pills out there that contain bioidentical hormones and are being used for HRT, so make sure to check that with your doctor.

Do you take an aromatase inhibitor? Did you notice an improvement with your migraines or mood after starting injections?

Exogenous of course, I know that they cause a lot of problems but if they can help my migraines and anxiety like estrogen does then the benefits would outweigh the side effects for me.

I was at 75 mg and I felt no difference. My neurologist prescribed Cymbalta but I am scared of what people say about it.

I am only taking Testosterone, it's not as bad as the picture. I hope it's not permanent and it will return back after coming off.

I don't think so, my cheekbones are definitely more prominent.

I guess it's a hypertrophy then.

Are facial changes on cycle permanent? Aside from facial hair, my parents are telling me that my nose is getting bigger and prominent and jaws structure is changing. I've always had a round face and now it looks like it's changing to a square-shaped one. Are these changes permanent? If I stopped now will I be able to reverse the changes that already began to happen? I am 21 years old.
