[QUOTE="Okrhit, post: 241237, member: 41214"] I was dialed in a couple years go, and on a pretty conservative TRT protocol. 40mg EOD, 500 HCG twice a week. 100mg DIM every night. Everything worked great, except my sleep wasn't the best at the time. My wife of 17 years dropped the divorce bomb on me from nowhere. I had never had anxiety a day in my life. Started having panic attacks. Eventually dropped TRT cold turkey, no restart medications at all. Dropped 40 lbs in a matter of two months. Went to therapy, took antidepressants for a few months, got back in the gym. Had to learn coping skills I never needed to deal with anxiety. Took almost two years off TRT and now I'm back on. If anything, for me, TRT makes me more emotional because I let E2 do what it wants. I don't use an AI other than DIM, which may not be doing anything anyway. I want to echo what others have said: the hormones can't solve everything. I think they make some things better. I'm less bothered by aches and pains, and mentally clearer with them. I have to deal with feeling certain things more than I would like and some heightened anxiety, especially in the day after an HCG shot. Spend time figuring out YOUR triggers and YOUR coping skills. When I was acutely in distress, I figured out when I woke up, my anxiety was through the roof... probably directly related to cyclic cortisol levels. I started every day with a cold shower. That would get me to the point where I could carry on with a morning routine and by the evening I was fine. Now, I rely on my friends, the gym, and the knowledge that I made it through the worst thing that ever happened to me. You can do this, brother. Keep asking for help and looking for answers. [/QUOTE]
