Would anyone know of any health concerns while taking PM?
Thanks

My only worry is it can make people who thought they would be happy with breasts, and who have a fulfilling penetrative sexual relationship, want to go for full gender reassignment. A mental health risk, if you will!

Ok, this is my pet peeve, but I find this OFTEN repeated guess very misleading. I don't think PM "makes" people think or believe ANYTHING that isn't/wasn't already within them to begin with.

I'm not sure why you feel you have to come out swinging at anyone who disagrees, but perhaps that is worth some introspection. I will say that I don't think that kind of posting is beneficial to the forum community. Disagree if you wish, but leave the evaluations of other people out of it please. I really hope chrishoney sticks to their stated intention of not getting into a fight. Saying too late, you're fighting me now whether you like it or not is just inflammatory.
Depression is very possibly affected by PM, like it is by many things you can ingest (e.g. sugar), inject (e.g. meds), or apply (e.g. herbals or meds). That doesn't mean PM is mind-altering in the sense you are suggesting, that it can forcibly change your behaviour. Your behaviour is also derived from a very complex process, a very significant part of which is conscious thought and self-evaluation. Unless you're saying that you believe PM somehow renders you unable to think, then your position is untenable to my way of thinking. It is simply one more factor influencing your decisions. It isn't making decisions for you. My tendonitis affects my ability to shovel snow. But it doesn't decide if I will do it or not. As an influencing factor, I know it changes my predispositions when I am on it, but I don't believe it makes me do or not do anything on it's own. I have always been in charge of myself in that regard. I do not accept your statement that I am at risk of losing control of myself because of PM.
To the original post question, the only health concern I have experienced is I get nasty headaches if I take too much PM (for me that's 3000mg/day) and others have reported this symptom in the past on this forum and others. At my normal dose of 500-1000mg/day, I have no health concerns, and still make all my own choices about how to live.

I feel that these boards are best for covering the mechanics of breast growth regardless of underlying decisions or opinions, and we all have our reasons for the things we choose to do in life without making it more complicated. Even within the bio male community of wanting to grow breasts we seem to be lacking unity in terms of trans/feminization/lifestyle which is only going to lead to conflict and hurt feelings.
Just remember, we are a subgroup on an established board for the main purpose of breast growth, we should keep it to that, in my opinion
