44 year old male 6'2" 250 lbs 30 bmi. I eat a strict Paleo diet and have lost 85 pounds in the last two years since starting it. I do not lift or exercise but work outside on my feet most of the time.
[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Dr tested me for low t and it was 168. He told me to see a specialist and I eventual ended up with dr saya (started with crisler but he left). Was started on .25 clomid eod. Test went up to 480 e2 went up to 40.1 they stated me on anastrozole .15 compounded with dim 200mg 3 times a week. E2 came down to 30 test stayed around 480 for three months maybe four then dr saya told me to try .25 clomid ed and see if my t went up. I just had blood drawn after a few months of .25 ed and t went up to 520. Free dropped from 15 to 12 lh was 8 e2 was still 30. I felt better at .25 eod so Dr told me to go back to taking .25 eod.[/FONT]
[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]I feel better than I did before clomid but I want to feel the absolute best I can. I am curious if having higher t levels would make me feel even better. The thing that scares me is if I stop clomid and start trt and dont like it and I go back to clomid whats my chances of getting back to where I am now and feel ok but not great. I know very little about how this all works. I know I can easily get higher t levels by starting a hcg, t, and anastrozole protocol but would like to know if its worth doing before I make the change
Would I feel better with higher t levels that trt will give me vs clomid?
Whats the chance of getting back to where I am now with clomid after stopping trt? I am a lot less anxious now that I am taking clomid. I used to suffer from anxiety regularly before clomid and love that it has decreased significantly.
What effect does trt have on anxiety? I have read some people say they had worse anxiety and others say it lowered their anxiety. It seems to me that since clomid helped with anxiety in my case that trt shouldnt change that? I dont know what made my anxiety better with clomid. Was it the rise it caused in my t or is it another effect of clomid? Regardless I like that it has helped me but really would like to feel better. Less tired more energy better sleep all the things I read about in others post about trt.
