[QUOTE="RAS, post: 151950, member: 38954"] I really need some help, I am having severe anxiety, I have never had anxiety before ever. I have been on TRT for over 9 years without issues, @ 200MGs per week and AI twice a week. My TRT doctor is out of the office till Monday, and I was hoping this issue would go away but its not. After my last appointment in May my Dr told me to lower my testosterone does because my levels came in pretty high on the last test (The cause for the high levels were discovered shortly following my last appointment, and it has to do with a popular sleep drug and doing things without being awake, it also explains the new espresso machine, items that have been moved, and the 10 pounds I put on. I set up motion-activated cameras and saw what was happening and flushed the medication.) So I lowered my dosages as directed to 170mg per week splitting that dosage up into equal injections EOD, and even lowered it a little more, and around May 19th I started to feel tired all day, dry skin, dry mouth, no energy no drive, and tired like I could just fall asleep, then the anxiety kicked in, just slightly at first, then to what I can only describe as a full blown anxiety attack, I couldn’t sleep, eat, think or sit still, this went on for 9 hours straight.. Went to the ER and they said it was just an anxiety attack and gave me some Xanax (Xanax is a different kind of hell.) to help me calm down and get some sleep. So in retracing what changed in my life the only thing that changed was lowering my TRT does, so I went to get a blood test run. Results from said test are below and attached. [LIST] [*]SEX HORMONE BINDING GLOBULIN = 8 Range: 10-50 [*]Testosterone Free = 448.6 Range 46 - 224 [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Testosterone Total = 1145 Range 250 - 1100 [*]Testosterone Bioavailable = 863 Range 110 – 575 [*]Estradiol, Ultrasensitive LC/MC = 9 Range: < OR = 29 [/LIST] So looking at the results I saw that my Testosterone was just slightly over the top but it had decreased significantly from the last test of 2436 and that my Estradiol was very low, compared to 51 from the last test.
