On Thursday around dinner, I decided to take a .125 anastrozole to see if it would relieve any of my fatigue, anxiety, and libido issues. I injected Friday like I normally do, and had a pretty good day. Both Thursday and Friday evening I did have some OK nocturnal erections and morning wood...

Thanks for the in-depth reply. There’s a lot to digest there. A couple things to give a little more context. My PA told me it didn’t matter when I pulled labs as long as I did it before my next injection. I asked him if he wanted me to wait until Monday to be at a 72 hour trough, and he said it...

I don’t cut the pills, that’s what empower compound them at. When I say my libido was good I mean my mental desire to want to have sex, physically there was nothing there. Struggled with ED and maintaining your erection without Cialis. I guess we all kind of define libido differently. My free T...

5 mg daily cialis. Started 6 grams of citrine a day this week. It’s libido as much as arousal. That’s the concerning part. Even before therapy, my libido was strong, arousal and erection quality was up and down.

Well, I can tell you I have no intentions on dropping my dosage down to 50 mg a week. The lowest I would even think about going right now would be 80, and I’m not even sure I’m going to do that. My biggest concern really is the sexual side effects. They are as bad if not a little worse than when...

First off, I want to thank everybody giving feedback on this thread. I appreciate it all of your views, and I agree with a lot of what all of you were saying. I know I’m definitely overmedicated on some level for me, but it might not be for other people. Having all the sexual side effects...

I am not taking any other meds except for 5 mg daily cialis in the mornings and a low dose atorvistatin. I know you are a big advocate of keeping estrogen higher, but it does not treat me well. I do appreciate your feedback and thoughts on what might be causing my issues.

I’ve been short tempered, been suffering from anxiety and have gotten lightheadedness off and on. I am also showing a lot of sleepiness around dinner time before I eat, especially on the days I inject. My libido has not been very good, and I am suffering from moderate erectile dysfunction and...

I did take .125 anastrazole a few times when symptoms got really bad. Every time it killed the anxiety and light headed feeling. Sometimes it fired up my libido, other times it did not. I had not taken any for almost two weeks before my labs. I inject sub q, most recently in my fat caps above my...

Agreed. Just need to figure out how much to drop

So I just got back my first follow up labs since starting TRT a little over two months ago. I was pretty pleased for the most part, as a lot of my numbers improved from a non-hormone standpoint. I was happy to see the drop in my hematocrit, and a lot of that has to do is me stopping iron...

Getting ready for my follow up labs very soon. Overall anxiety, exhaustion and muscle soreness became unbearable by the end of last week. It had never gotten that bad before I took a .125 AI pill on Saturday, and within two hours the anxiety and exhaustion went away. My libido and arousal were...

After I injected this morning, I had a little sting at the shot location. I placed a cold gel pack on the shot location about 15 minutes after I injected. After I pulled it off, had a white film around the injection site that I had to scrape off my skin. Is it possible that the cold pack drew...

Thanks for the reply. I definitely agree that 100mg is not too low of a starting dose. I have two more weeks and get labs pulled, then I’ll know for sure.

Thank you. I am looking at the liquid melatonin @Nelson Vergel has discussed in other threads, and using 1 ml of it when I wake up. I pretty sure my mild prostate issues are trt related. I inject MWF, and today on Sunday morning, I woke up with zero irritation or inflammation. It’s been that way...
