[QUOTE="Simbarn, post: 237990, member: 44021"] Clomid can make you feel shut down because of the estrogenic effects it can have in some men, even though it may be increasing natural testosterone production significantly. It can make many men feel quite awful while they are taking it. Enclomiphene citrate (the single isomer version of Clomid) may not do this to the same degree. It is not easy to get unfortunately. It looks to me that you diagnosed yourself 6 years ago, and put yourself on testosterone. You have been on testosterone for some time, but with a properly run restart protocol your natural T should come back and may be even higher than it was before with the Marijuana out of your system and other lifestyle changes. Cialis, has been know to have an effect on testicle size and function. I would think if anything, in this very short amount of time what you are noticing is from this and placebo effect. Splitting your dose may definitely help you. I will give you this advice, simply changing protocols can have a short term initial effect where libido and other positive effects suddenly occur. This is due to hormone levels changing. The long term effects show themselves much later on. I have found it best to ignore these initial effects as they can be quite misleading and disappointing. I still personally feel, given what you said in all your posts so far, that you should seriously question being on TRT, and that at some point in the near future you should try and reinstate your natural hormones and stay that way for a good period of time before considering TRT again. I realise you may not be at this point now, given your concerns, but in time you may be. I am nearly 60, I have been at this for nearly 25 years Robbie. I have not been able to achieve the same reliable sexual function I had as a young man in my twenties, even allowing for the effects of ageing. I understand why now after many years of extensive research into male hormones and erectile function. Natural is always best and you cannot emulate our complex systems with the primitive techniques we have available to us at this time. I know some young men in their thirties with T levels comparable to yours who are perfectly healthy virile young men. How many morning tests did you do? Sometimes our T levels drop to a lower level and then return for many reasons. I have seen this many times with friends who get their T levels assayed often. You have been smoking marijuana since you were 17 and have only just recently quit! What has this been doing to your hormone function? You already admit this made your ED worse. There is a lot of conflicting scientific evidence as to if chronic marijuana use causes hormone issues and erectile difficulties in the human. Some studies conclude that it does others do not. Studies in primates seem to be quite consistent in that it does cause hormone disruption, testosterone loss and fertility issues. Perhaps the effects in humans can be subject to a multitude of factors and individual biochemistry. The much respected member on this forum called Cataceous, has developed a very complex HRT protocol which involves administering multiple drugs a number of times a day to try and emulate more closely what we do naturally. I believe he has come quite close to what he considers reliable good sexual function, compared to anything else he has tried. His experiment confirmed to me the inadequacies of TRT and the extraordinarily complex nature of our sexual function. If there is a chance that you could have normal healthy HPTA function and not have to worry about all of this for the rest of your life, it can become all consuming, I would take it! [/QUOTE]
