OK, it's obvious that you have high DHT (dihydrotestosterone, some people call it "super" testosterone). SP helps block it but you are taking a very low dose. I suggest switching to another brand and looking for "standardized extract". Usually the standardized extract seems like a lower dosage (generally 160 mg/tablet) but you get much more of the active ingredient than you do from the "whole fruit" tablet you are taking now. Once you get the standardized extract of the SP I would suggest slowly ramping up from 320 mg/day (two tablets) to 640 mg/day (four tablets) and see if that doesn't help. I'm not an expert here but I do know that SP blocks the conversion of T to DHT so that should help control your levels. Maybe Abi will check this thread and add more info (she is very knowledgeable on the effects of SP).
I really think you'll need to get the DHT down before you'll see results.
Good luck!
