[QUOTE="readyforchange, post: 114490, member: 16501"] One thing worth noting: I've seen guys around here posting about how "it's easier to start low and go up in dosing than start high and try to go lower", I would DEFINITELY agree with that sentiment at this point. A month ago, was advised to drop test dosage from 140mg/week to 100mg/week to combat E2 that is persistent and man this has been a rollercoaster. A few years ago, prior to TRT and when going through a very intense and stressful life stage, I battled really bad anxiety, to the point where if I didn't pop a valium in the evening, I'd wake up with a panic attack in the middle of the night. I'm experiencing that again now -- originally thought it might be HCG because I've had anxiety-like symptoms when including that in my regimen, but nothing like what I'm currently feeling with this big drop in test dosage. I saw in another thread someone suggested decreasing (falling) levels of androgens can initiate anxiety, depression, etc., it definitely seems to be true in my case. In the past 2-3 weeks, I've had 3-4 panic attacks in the middle of the night (and feel like I'm on the verge of one most of the day), and that's more than I've had in the previous 2-3 YEARS. [/QUOTE]
