How long should I break after a massive accidental OD?

#1

The details of my accidental over dose are in my herbal program page. Mainly what you need to know is that I was taking the equivalent of 16g (!!!) of hops without realizing it for the last 2 weeks. I feel pretty stupid, but what really matters now is fixing the problem. How long do I need to break to get it all out of my system? Does anyone know the half life of the phytoestrogens in hops? Does that research even exist and is it actually relevant to my problem? I heard that most people get severe breast pain after a break of a week or more if they were stalled. Supposedly, if you do not get pains after a break it means that you weren't stalled. The longer it takes to get the pains, the more stalled you were. If that's true, should I start ramping up again right after the pains subside? Is there a chance Ill grow during the break? It would be great if there was an upside to this Tongue

Hi mochaccino,

I don't think there is a problem. Even 16 g is not an overdose of 8-prenylnaringenin. You did overdose on xanthohumol, but your intestinal bacteria can't digest that much xanthohumol to 8-prenylnaringenin. Xanthohumol is only a very weak phyto-estrogen, so you can't stall on it. If you did stall, 2-3 weeks brings LH back up.

That's a huge relief. I think might have no choice but to take a short break anyway. If I don't get any pains by the end if the week, Ill just jump right back at half my current dose and ramp up to the full dose if nothing happens.
