    Crashed Estradiol on TRT - Please Read!!!

    it's been about two months since i crashed my E2. i don't have the labs to prove it, but my doc gave me 1mg anastrazole to take EOD. it was a huge dose, now that i know more about it. i am still not recovered. depression, anxiety and just overall feeling of being barely alive has been...

    Switching from cream to injections

    Thank you for your reply. Reading everything I can and considering my situation and extremely low T numbers and slightly elevated E2, I too think my doctor is doing the right thing. At least he explains all of his decisions in detail and gives me plenty of time and information to consider...

    Switching from cream to injections

    Only the first dose was higher. If I'm converting the numbers correctly, 0.4cc every 5 days seems like a good protocol (generally speaking). I can ask about about more frequent administration and smaller dosage... Just curious how does 3.5 days work? One day you'd inject say at 8 PM, while next...

    Switching from cream to injections

    Honestly, why would you even reply with something like that? Did you even read my question? I didn't start a new protocol nor am I switching "back and forth". Not to mention, unlike my doctor you have no idea what my SHBG number is, because it has nothing to do with my question. Dissing...

    Switching from cream to injections

    Hi, just as the title says, yesterday I got my injectable T. Pretty standard 200mg/ml in organic grapeseed oil. I've been using lipo cream at 1ml (0.5ml 2x day). Doctor told me that the new protocol will be 1cc on day one (yesterday)... And .4cc every 5th day. Since last night I've been feeling...

    crashed E2 or high E2...

    of course. i have stopped on Monday as soon as I felt all this s*it coming on... i am definitely not taking it anymore. considering i only took 2 mg in total (2 days apart) how badly could it crash? i really thought that after 4 days i should see a little improvement, but it honestly feels like...

    crashed E2 or high E2...

    unfortunately it was prescribed by the doc. 1mg EOD mon-fri. that's what it says on the bottle. i took one on Friday and second one on Monday. that's when doo doo hit the fan. i felt this shit creep up on me, like the flu. that's when i immediately started googling side effects of AI and...

    crashed E2 or high E2...

    the thing is i had similar symptoms, but much much lighter. and when i first started TRT in May of this year we did a similar approach (although I don't understand how i could've handled that dose without a problem really). so the main reason i got AI again, was because of extra anxiety and...

    crashed E2 or high E2...

    hi all, i'm kinda new to all this and i've seen plenty of threads on this topic but i just cannot figure out what happened here. i messed up my protocol and ran out of cream, i restarted about 20 days later already feeling pretty crappy. but over the week or so applying the cream things stared...

    Addiction and TRT - Benzodiazepine effects on testosterone.

    hey buddy, i really appreciate your response. a brother in misery indeed. i read my own story in your post. i'm also here for your support, feel free to reach out at any time. what's even more interesting is that i am also a Kratom user. I'm only using it to help me with anxiety and initially...

    cannot get stable on TRT: insomnia, anxiety

    just a quick update. my doctor agreed that i should stop taking AI... he also suggested that i take Propranolol to deal with these anxiety-like symptoms specifically tachycardia and sweating. i'm a little concerned about taking another pill, but maybe it will help with some symptoms. he said it...

    cannot get stable on TRT: insomnia, anxiety

    i use left shoulder / pec area. usually i'm around my wife so i cover up with a loose tshirt shortly after application. that's also why i didn't try scrotum as of yet. today it doesn't look like i'm getting any action anyways.. so i may just try it tonight.

    cannot get stable on TRT: insomnia, anxiety

    thank you. @Weasel ... wow. one year?! i couldn't imagine living like this for a few days. although my situation might be more desperate because of the pre-existing condition. but all in all this makes sense. i haven't changed anything except taking that 1mg of AI... and it just completely sent...

    cannot get stable on TRT: insomnia, anxiety

    Thank you so much for this clarification regarding e2... no wonder I am all over the place with this stuff. I did feel like taking that 1mg of AI yesterday kicked my anxiety and subsequent insomnia into high gear. I'm going to hold off on taking it for the time being. it's just so strange that...

    cannot get stable on TRT: insomnia, anxiety

    did you use Anastrazol or other AI for lowering e2? ... if so can you share the dosage that worked for you? i've been reading that some people are very sensitive to AI and i'm cautious about taking too much and messing things up even further.

    cannot get stable on TRT: insomnia, anxiety

    thank you so much for your responses. i will definitely bring this up with my doc. i chose to go the cream route because of my preexisting anxiety and i wasn't sure how well i'd do trying to inject myself. perhaps i do need a stronger and more consistent option. I am also wondering about...

    cannot get stable on TRT: insomnia, anxiety

    hello all. i really hope to get some hints on what could be going on with me or my protocol. i've been on the TRT cream for about 4 months total. when i first started on the protocol my T numbers were extremely low and e2 was high. i felt like everything in my life became an unsurmountable...

    Addiction and TRT - Benzodiazepine effects on testosterone.

    i'm going through the same thing exactly, pretty much. i am quite new to TRT so still trying to figure out a lot of things. please take this with a pound of salt. (i'm 39 yo for reference). first, i think my doctor is quite good (i've seen dozens over the years and finally found one i can...

    Strange results -- About 4 months on TRT protocol

    thank you for your response. definitely makes sense. and as you said, my plan is to get my next labs mid-treatment when i'm at my "peak" ... definitely a bit of a learning process on my part. for anyone who is new to this, i have to say that i didn't expect much from this treatment, but now i'm...

    Strange results -- About 4 months on TRT protocol

    Hello all, I'll try to explain the situation as simply as I can. I'm 39, very active until recently because of complete lack of energy and started gaining weight, injuries. I used to train muay thai, wrestling and brazilian jiu jitsu pretty much daily since I was in my teens. In the last year I...
