Anxiety When Lowering TRT Dose

[WhatSayYou89]

Most guy get anxiety as a side effect when starting trt, it’s very common until body gets adjusted to it.

I always thought it was just bc more testosterone, higher dopamine and just body running at a higher gear so just an overall shock of the body.

I’m starting to notice that same elevated anxiety after dropping my dosage down.

So maybe it’s not just the increase of testosterone, maybe just the body going through a change and that’s what causes the anxiety?

Anyone else get this when lowering their dosage and did you see it subside around the same time as when you started trt? Which I believe took about 8 weeks for the anxiety to subside for me.

In your case since lowering your dosage, your dopamine if anything is going down along with the T since T increases the release of dopamine.

This reduction of dopamine if sensitive to all these various hormonal changes, can trigger all sorts of mental side effects. You’re taking away something, something that you need and the body has troubling coping.

Just ask any woman on her period or one who is going through menopause.

Why should men be any different?
