[QUOTE="BUD987, post: 203236, member: 42714"] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=12px] Hello. Thank you for all the work this forum does. I just started TRT for low libido and energy about 1wk ago (protocol below). I will do my best to limit this post to pertinent info and not write an intro novella. ACUTE ISSUES/CONCERNS : The day after my second 70mg Test E, I experienced rather severe anxiety starting early afternoon and insomnia later that night. The anxiety occurred spontaneously in a relaxing, low stress setting (boat). It was just an amped up, nervous, non-specific, anxious/exhausted energy that was not at all pleasant. I am also noticing that my penis and scrotum are, subjectively at least, cooler and ‘heavier’ than I’m used to. I don’t have a significant hx of anxiety. Overall these last few days I have felt like total smeared dog s**t. Very discouraging and concerning. I hope I’m just experiencing some relatable bumpy start issues and not indications of a terminal, TRT-resistant flaw in my Finasteride-altered physiology. Of note I am a former propecia user who got sides. Any people here former Propecia users and had an improvement from TRT? There’s too much noise online about it. MOST RECENT LABS: On NO Rx. Previous baseline labs were all similar [can post], but these were the lowest-TT. FT. Lh. QUEST: - TT - LC/MS - 358 - [250-110 ng/dl] - FT - dialysis - 61 - [35-155 pg/ml] - LH - 1.4 - [1.5-9.3 miu/ml] - E2 - 33 - [<39] . Standard assay. Not ultrasensitive. - SHBG in late April ranged btwn 28-33 – [10-50 nnmol/L]. Thyroid panel and Prolactin and other basic/trt labs norm. - ? Btw What would be ideal FT range with this range/test method? PROTOCOL: All from Hallandale Pharmacy, FL. Known/Reliable? - M/TH: 70mg (0.35ml) 2x/wk -Test Enanthate. Compounded with Vit D 10000IU/ml. - 0.5mg Anast 2xWk. [1mg ttl/wk] - 500Iu HCG 2xWk. [1000iu ttl/wk] - At this time, I have only taken my Mon and Thur doses of 70 mg, 0.25mg of Anast x1 and 350iu of HCG x1. Pharmacy had compounding delay. -? My Test E is compounded with Vit D – could the vitD and compounding source be a factor? Should I switch to a non-compounded formula ie: Pfizer, Sandoz etc? Test cyp? ———— I'm a 39yo physician. My HOPE is that this is transient and manageable and helps me learn more about the art of TRT so I can help myself and other similarly affected patients. Thoughts, similar experience and /or suggestions? Please don’t hesitate to be direct. Many thanks. -[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
