I’m thinking of taking my dosage of 6mg a day down to 4mg a day so I can stockpile 2mg each day in case of an emergency. Or maybe every other day to stockpile 1mg each day.

I’m worried though about it negatively affecting me mentally, but I also know that if I do run out and don’t have a stockpile, it’ll be much worse.

Or maybe I could ask my doctor to prescribe me extra so I can stockpile without reducing my dosage?

Anyways, what are your thoughts on doing this? I know Erin Reed recently put out an article which mentioned it being done (which is what inspired me to make this post).

    I assume you’re not in the U.S.? Those sound like old Benjamin Rules and not based on current WPATH standards. If you talk to people in your local trans community, they might know doctors and therapists who are willing to give you medication without those kinds of requirements.
