c) I began PM at Easter 2010 and have been on the recommended, by PM UK, intake of 4 capsules per day, 2 before breakfast and 2 at night. I am now at week 20. I am taking nothing else.

I would suggest you at least double the 'recommended' dosage. Those recommendations are for genetic females, not males. Excess phytoestrogens don't have the same undesirable side effects in males as they do in females (reducing endogenous estrogen production), and males need more to counter the effects of testosterone, especially since you aren't currently taking a testosterone blocker.

I do wonder if PM has some sort of testosterone blocking action or compound in it that has not been specifically identified as I still had the desirable mood changes many have noted when I was taking PM without SP.

Just a thought, and increasing your PM dosage may give you the results you are looking for.
