(I'm OP, had to change username..)
So, I told you I believed I would be able to answer my own question. I am now a week into this as of today. I started @ 2,000mg on Day 1. Two days ago, I bumped myself up to 3,000mg. 1,000 in the morning, and 2,000 at night to see if I could notice a difference in these placebo pills. Well, I now know I passed my limit.
Yesterday morning, I woke up and everything was fine. It takes me about 20 minutes from getting out of bed to be at work. I take my PM and vitamins as soon as I wake up. By the time I pulled into the parking lot at work, I felt like I was going to throw up. I ended up being fine after about 10 minutes, but it was weird. I couldn't tell if it was caused by the increase of PM, but I needed to find out. So last night, again I took 2,000mg @ around 7:30pm. I woke up this morning and instantly started thinking if I felt fine.. I felt great. 20 minutes later, I walked into work and it hit me again. I got very nauseous and came closer to vomiting
I haven't decided yet if I am going to cut back on the amount, or if I'm going to space it out a bit better. I'm open to suggestions.
I showed my wife this thread and we have so far had two more pretty lengthy conversations regarding what's going on.
Psychological changes we've both noticed:
My mood has become pretty level. We are both noticing that I have been able to sit and have conversations with her and focus on her. We talked for a good hour last night, and I expressed to her how I felt "content with life" and "finally free". That was the only way to describe it. I do not know if this is due to PM, or if it's a placebo effect, so I'm not saying I'm experiencing hormone-induced brain rewiring. I think it's too early to even begin making assumptions.
Physical changes she noticed:
She has insisted that if there are physical changes, I'd stop taking PM. So, while we were talking last night about my mental state, I made the joke, "I can't believe all of the physical changes as well, huh?" - It was complete sarcasm. But her response was, "I noticed.." She said that while we were sitting in the living room, she saw my nipples were pointy. I haven't been paying attention, and am curious as to what she saw.
Along with the PM, I have been taking vitamins. I am going to post the link to the ones I'm taking, but I cannot say I recommend it or that I am promoting it, as I'm not. I got a ton of these free.

I started chewing two chewable tums (or whatever brand we have at home) per night, as each tablet was 500mg of calcium. I really don't want to be eating tums, or taking more pills, so I'm looking for alternate recommendations.
My wife and I are so happy so far with the progress (mental) and are hoping this is real. In a few months, we are planning on going to talk to a Dr/therapist to see what we can do about getting on some sort of plan where I could be monitored. I am very nervous about hurting kidneys or liver or blood clotting. I just have to get over the embarrassment of telling a professional that I need my testosterone levels lowered.
Again, sorry for random thoughts, but any input, opinions or guidance would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you!
