    hCG, hot flash, dry mouth/eyes, anxiety side effects

    Arimidex can lower your estradiol to much. Low estradiol can cause anxiety as well. May want To have it tested or you can get It tested yourself. Low estradiol can be worse than high estradiol especially with anxiety. Dr Saya told me a couple of years ago that 1 Mg of arimidex can lower...

    hCG, hot flash, dry mouth/eyes, anxiety side effects

    I would not take any arimidex unless he pulled an estradiol. My estradiol has been all over the place at different times over the last 7 yrs and most of the time it has been a non issue except for when it was to low. I’m telling you right now, beware of doctors who tell you what it is without...

    hCG, hot flash, dry mouth/eyes, anxiety side effects

    They had me try 120 IU twice a week. It wasn’t as severe but still have tension through my whole body like anxiety trying to come on. Hate that feeling. Needless to say, Hcg isn’t for me lol. I’m just going to stick with the T. I took the dose 4 days ago and I still have the tension in my...

    Does your anxiety subside as you get further away from your injection?

    hCG, hot flash, dry mouth/eyes, anxiety side effects

    I haven’t asked Dr.Saya. I am going to email the nurse. Regardless, if you happen to be someone who is more sensitive and your testicles are relaxes at 200 IU then who cares about theories. Bloodwork and numbers are a guide but what matters is how YOU feel. I’ve been on higher doses of T...

    hCG, hot flash, dry mouth/eyes, anxiety side effects

    So I have been on TRT for 6 years and over the last 1 1/2 yrs have been a patient of Dr Saya’s at Defy. I literally just added HCG last Sunday. Started at 400 IU sq on Sunday and Thursday I had the same reaction. Thankfully I dealt with panic attacks 8 years ago so am well versed in those...

    hCG, hot flash, dry mouth/eyes, anxiety side effects

    I’ve been on 54 mg Cypionate twice a week and 10mg DHEA daily for over a year and a half. I’ve been feeling great. I added 400 IU HCG twice a week starting last week and have experience very weird anxiety coming and going randomly that can be very intense. I took 200 IU today as my third dose...

    Reducing ferritin levels to lower the risk of heart attack and cancer

    That’s interesting. Ferritin can be quickly elevated due to infection or inflammation. Would this make ferritin more of a marker for inflammation as opposed to the ferritin being the cause for increased mortality? If the subjects also had horrible diets and did not exercise setting off a...

    Heart Attack Today: Need Studies to Show Testosterone is Safe

    Unfortunately some are just genetically predisposed to this. Just because you take X doesn’t mean it caused Y. How many people have MI a day that are not on TRT and fit as a fiddle.......a lot. Unfortunately in our society everyone needs to find a blame for something Sometimes things...

    I’ve been using the same T for a couple of years and when my pharmacy switched to the cipla brand earlier this year I definitely noticed a difference. Thankfully was able to get my original brand back

    Is subq less effective for some?

    I tried and gave it a good run for awhile because I was worried about E2 being to high and also hematocrit. It didn’t do well for me at all. Switched back to 50 mg IM twice a week and everything has been good. That was 6 months ago. I think a lot of us on TRT over think our feelings as...

    After many years I think I've figured my situation out

    SH1973 glad you’re doing well. So you’ve felt good since June of last year at the lower dose? I was wondering what dose you were on before you switched to this new protocol and how you dropped your dose and how long it took for you to notice the difference. I do pretty well at 50 mg...
