[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 111514, member: 16042"] Crashing: I am doing terribly. It is one month since last protocol change, reduction in T and DHEA dosage. I've been having terrible mood swings again. Depression, frustration, anger, hopelessness, negativity, motivation has plummeted etc and of course in combination with hypervigilance over medically why, and I sure can't figure it out. My exercise capability has gone through the floor and I am not recovering. Whereas a few weeks ago I had shifted from climbing to training, started light and had been increasing a bit, now even after 3 days rest can't do what I did the previous workout. It's all I can do to walk my standard 2.5 miles/day on our mountainous road. I also am experiencing energy crashes almost every day at 3-4pm. Brain can't handle more input, can't think straight, work/complete tasks. body is just too tired and I have to lie down for a while. Right now today I feel like post migraine. I have previously had migraines directly correltaed to food sensitivity, and others for unknown reasons, but since being on better TRT protocols have had none... zero for almost the last year until now. Had a headache all night last night that did not feel like migraine, but today the migraine hangover. I have noted increased swings in belly bloating. I had a wham bang bloat yesterday, was up maybe 5 times last night urinating and this morning internal bloat has subsided, seems I have expelled a lot of the water again, but external fat layer is still puffy and jiggly. I am really confused. -It seems like I may have hit the lower threshold of useful T in my system -Seems like estrogen symptoms are stronger but due to being high or low? The mood emotional component is getting like it was last year before starting with Defy when my E2 was 12, but my latest E2 May 5 was 51(sensitive), and though DHEA was reduced from 25mg to 12.5mg/day I don't have any real suspicion that E2 crashed for any reason. With the bloating it seems more like it must be too high. Edit: Oh also, libido has tanked. I am going to have interim labs pulled July 3 which is 6 weeks after last protocol adjustment, including PSA/Free PSA, TT, FT, E2 and CBC. I am really at a loss about what if anything to do now, it's getting really bad. Thoughts/ideas welcome. (Note: I have noticed a down or rocky period at about the same interval after other dosage increases and decreases, but this one is the worst yet) [/QUOTE]
