[QUOTE="Fortunate, post: 252267, member: 42264"] I started this thread a while ago and feel obligated to update it. As you'll see above, I pegged CoQ10 as the culprit in bouts of anxiety I was having a year ago. I have since determined CoQ10 was [U]not[/U] the villain. I now take CoQ10 without any obvious anxiety patterns. On the other hand, I have made an interesting discovery regarding intermittent bouts of anxiety. I have noticed odd episodes during which my heart rate jumps well above my baseline (per my Apple Watch) and along with it, I feel on edge and anxious. It's hard to say if the HR is causing me to feel anxious or vice versa. Regardless, I first noticed this a year ago when I started this thread. Looking back, I was microdosing daily with enanthate, and the bouts of anxiety were coming about 12 hours after my injection. I later noticed similar bouts of anxiety 4-6 hours after a Natesto dose (right before I was due to dose again). As I started to pay closer attention, I noticed I also had a similar experience about 2.5 days after injecting with 50mg of Xyosted. I am very confident the episodes are all due to the same underlying process. I am not exactly sure what that process is, but my theory is that it has to do with dropping testosterone levels. In each scenario, the onset of symptoms occur about when you would expect levels to be going from high to low. I don't know if my body is responding to absolute levels (ie, I feel bad below a specific number) vs. responding to the transition (numbers don't matter, but the change is what I am feeling). Regardless, I have been watching and noticing this phenomenon for close to a year and it has been pretty consistent. I thought I'd post for two reasons: to vindicate CoQ10; but, also to raise awareness of this phenonomon. There have been a lot of anxiety posts here. Clearly supraphysiologic levels of T or E2 can cause anxiety. We all agree on that. But, I think I have identified another potential cause. I just haven't figure out yet if the absolute number is driving my symptoms or if it's the transition. One could speculate that the CV and anxiety events occur as levels peak, but based on what I know about Natesto, my peak levels occur well before these episodes occur. I also suspect the cardiovascular response occurs first, which then drives the anxious feeling. I may be a unicorn on this one, but I thought I'd put this out there to raise awareness for anyone else with anxiety. Disclaimer: I am only taking 200mg of CoQ10 at the moment. If I increase and notice a bump in anxiety, I will update for anyone interested. [/QUOTE]
