can testosterone cause anxiety

[stickersteve]

I have taken testosterone before under the tongue and shots, but stopped them after a while since I did not really feel any better. I just got a cream from a new compounding pharmacy and took it yesterday and today and noticed my anxiety level was as high as it has been in years. I even had to take part of a xanex today to feel calm which I rarely have to do. It may not have been the testosterone. Maybe there was something in the air, but I wanted to see if this has happened to anyone else.

Check your E2 Estratiol levels doing sanative E2 test High E2 levels even give me Panic attacks.

It seems when people who have anxiety issues, testosterone can aggravated it.

There was just a post made about this exact same thing in the fb group I’m a part of.

I personally have zero anxiety on the cream, but I’m not really prone to it. So I’m not a good example. On injections I’ve had anxiety here and there, but that was probably due to either HCG or E2 being too low from ai use. But literally zero while on the cream for the past 2 months. No HCG, no ai.

You can get anxiety from elevated DHT from the T Cream. Crisler would say this was the only use he would recommend for Progesterone in a male. You would need labs to confirm.

On this forum what I see is guys that already have some level of anxiety whether it's diagnosed or not or even being treated but what happens is is that the TRT just becomes the thing that the mind obsesses(?) about so it can SEEM like its caused but I don't think that's the case.

I get that to an extent in the beginning. Some might get anxiety from starting treatment and the unknown. But for me anything over 100mg of t cyp. I was getting full blown panic attacks and I felt ramped up and anxious all day. I had panic attacks when I was in my late teens but didn’t have them for years till I tried trt. Only other time I would get them if I was absolutely hammered lol.

I did however have some low grade anxiety on androgel so maybe there is something to the dht theory also. But I’m a low shbg guy and got it bad on t cyp also maybe it was estrogen related. Unfortunately for me trt hasn’t been a pleasant experience for me. But being natural 200-250 isn’t that fun either

It took me quite awhile to figure out I don't need very much testosterone to feel amazing, 7mg daily is all that I require. A lot of members would always say, that dose is too low, but provided excellent results.

I made more progress on 49mg weekly than I ever did at the dosing you normally see on these forums. My body works better with less and only have symptoms at normal dosing.

I have low SHBG.

do not take this the wrong way but I’ve followed your posts. You seem all over the place with how you feel. And you say trt lowers you vits and minerals and causes you sides. How is that amazing ?

If you’re applying to scrotum, if so then yes.

why do you say that? This is first I have heard of cream specifically causing anxiety. Is this common?

 

[captain]

Creams and Gels may increase DHT more than shots. Appling to the scrotum may increase DHT more than other places.

spiders can cause anxiety.

Anything can cause anxiety, if you are more alert because of a change in hormones your base anxiety may seem higher.

Put if this way, if you are asleep half the day because of low T, then change to become more alert and active, that may also increase your anxiety.

If you have a ready supply of xanax then it suggest in the past you had anxiety bad enough to need it. It could be that testosterone makes you more aware, or maybe high E2 makes you more emotional.

It depends how you define anxiety. Are me talking about being anxious or an actual anxiety attack two completely different things. People that never had anxiety or panic attacks will never understand. I had anxiety of the unknown first starting trt. But cut and dry anything over 100mg gives me anxiety attacks for no reason. Have no anxiety attacks on lower dose. This is not something I made up. It’s 100% something to do with the imbalance of hormones.

I actually have no doubt hormones could create an anxiety attack. But not sure how common this is and more importantly, what mix of hormones are needed to create this.

Are most anxiety attacks the result of hormones, neurotransmitters, or some other brain imbalance?

Till you have anxiety you think you can control it but you can't. I had anxiety all the time before TRT. I do better on TRT and you can see others still have problems. Mark Gordon has talked about anxiety in PTSD and how its hormone related. I would guess a good doctor doing the correct labs could find a way to help.

I can’t believe how different we all are. Androgel actually Gave me mood swings like very fast. A couple weeks in.

There was a time before I had these mineral deficiencies where the daily protocol was working, then I started having problems keeping the minerals elevated, but for that short time the daily protocol was amazing and I'm trying to get back there. If I can figure out and stop these minerals from declining so rapidly, the daily protocol is going to still be optimal for me.
