Wouldn't worry too much about the fish oileffecting 5ar receptors, since any affect would be minuscule unless megadosing, just ensure you don't go over the recommended doses on any supp and herb and you're good.
About permanence it isn't man, get that thought out of your head (easier said then done), thats the mind screwing with you. Hang in there and go easy on yourself, you're doing everything in your power to recover and you will be rewarded for your efforts, no doubt. Just will take a bit of time for your body to stabalise and heal since it sounds very much like you have severe symtoms which are not going to go away overnight.
Last week i was seriously suicidal because of how bad I crashed and didn't have no libido, couldn't sleep etc and thought definitely permanent, body is finished,game over, can't come back from this, won't be able to get an erection and have sex ever again, but then realised how ridiculous it and now there is the turnaround this week and body is showing signs of life again. It's only permanent if you don't do anything to change even then you can't say for certain because you never know what's round the corner.

There are plenty of things from nootropics to different foods, which help with GABA and the brain can always be rebalanced so long as you are doing the right things which you are.
Are you taking Glycine? That works on GABA from what I recall along with sleep.
Have you found through research any others reacting so bad to the blood pressure med you took?
Bro you need to stop dropping the acid and talk to a suicide helpline or get in touch with a therapist/doctor if you're seriously considering ways to end it and experiencing genuine psychosis.
You need to stabilise yourself and acid trips are not gonna get you any closer to that.
And wtf you doing working out at 10pm that's gonna mess with your sleep in a big way and at this time you need as much as that as possible.
ok cool, still have you got any one to talk since what your going through sounds very traumatic?
Suicidal ideation isn't something to take lightly, you may well have to reach out for real support, no one wants to see you do anything stupid. Might well be an idea if things continue to feel worse for you
You could test for cortisol, dhea, progesterone, SHBG, LH and FHS, those play key roles in how your hormones work together.
Are you doing any deep breathing and meditation? That would go a long way in helping to relax.
Glycine might be helping a little. Today, I slept 8 hours and dreamt and can remember the dream clearly. It wasn’t continuous sleep, as I woke up once or twice, but quickly got back. It was deep enough that I feel like I got enough of it and don’t feel completely drained. Still very little libido and no energy, like I’m “couch locked” to my bed and my muscles are stiff. Skin is still burning a little and very sensitive to textures. I noticed yesterday wearing a jacket that was always once soft to me felt like it was irritating it. I’ve got the pine pollen, ashwaganda, and tribulus our for delivery. Should be here within the next few hours.
Update (3:30pm): I met with my primary care doctor today just a couple of hours ago to go over the labwork from a month ago. I have posted the labwork below. Keep in mind, this was before I started the diet CD laid out on his site and quit the testosterone. Total T was extremely high, estrogen was above range, I had a lot of “bad” cholesterol, very low “good” cholesterol, my immune system is in overdrive, and my prostate is irritated. She says, in terms of my progress, she can tell I’m making some by my demeanor now compared to when I first came in but that I still have a long battle ahead. They will retest me in time but want me to continue what I’m doing now for awhile before doing that. As of now, I’m still battling the bad disconnect, the nerve issues, and this anxious/depressed “I’ve gotta do something but something is wrong and I can’t feel anything and I feel horrible” feeling that constantly looms over me. My ashwaganda, pine pollen, and tribulus arrived and I’ve take tribulus and pine pollen. Those should reduce the estradiol issue, if that’s still an issue. I will take ashwaganda at night before bed to simulate what’s supposed to happen naturally with cortisol at night, since mine was high last I checked. 5a-DPH will be here by Monday or Tuesday.
Update (9pm): No issues so far on Tribulus and pine pollen. Took Ashwaganda and fish oil an hour ago and so far so good on that too. No reaction. But the depression, anxiousness, disconnect, weakness, no libido and acid trip feeling are still hitting me hard and just brutal. It’s sucking the life out of me. Im starting to wonder if it’s because I’m not on the TRT anymore and coming down. Ive decided to abstain, as it isn’t worth it and I’d rather recover. I’m also noticing that’s it become more difficult to obtain an erection anyways. I can get them nocturnally a bit every so often, so at least I know it somewhat still works. Really looking forward to that 5a-DHP though. Eager to try it.
