[QUOTE="Pnw0031, post: 248434, member: 45081"] Hello everyone, I have been dealing with severe insomnia while on testosterone cypionate for the past two years. Used androgel (sorry I do not remember the dose) for years prior. Testicular cancer survivor, can’t get off trt. I’ve tried various regimes and protocols and tricks and I’m going insane!! Need a lot of help and advice because sleep is my Achilles heel for life, training, work, school, etc. working with a sleep therapist starting this week but it’s likely my trt to blame. Main side effects are brain fog and lack of libido and anxiety in the evening and night. No anxiety in the morning or during the day. Can’t nap and get poor quality sleep Current protocol: 125mg weekly, .1ml everyday except Wednesday, 20mg oral progesterone nightly Considering lowering this to 100 and injecting nightly, I used to use androgel at night so possibly this would work… Shots are IM taken in the morning Current supplements: progesterone 20mg, magnesium citrate 500mg Past supplements tried: l Theanine, vitamin e Berberine, valerian root, melatonin, liquid ivs Past meds tried: trazadone, Benadryl, long list but all of these didn’t work… don’t want to take benzos or harsh meds Most recent blood work: Test: 720 ng/dl E2: 41 Shbg: 23 Cortisol: 10.64 ug/dl Unfortunately this is all I received from my endo, I’m going to request labs soon and if there’s anything that should be tested for next time I will ask for and update ASAP. Practice good sleep hygiene, sunlight in the morning and I live in Arizona so vitamin D deficiency:) Lift 4x a week, box 3-5x and over 10k steps a day. Diet is perfect rn, hit 97% on Cronometer daily. Don’t drink much, occasionally smoke cigs. University student most of the year, wildland firefighter in summer. Can’t sleep a damn during either season. Fan of hockey and boxing… is this enough information? [/QUOTE]
