[QUOTE="Goldtop56, post: 239269, member: 44635"] Hi all, I’m getting pretty down lately and thinking about throwing in the towel on TRT. Background: My PCP prescribed 200mg test-c per week in August, and said “I’ll see you in 14 weeks”. Well, week 9 I started to feel a lot of side effects. Could not orgasm, gained 25 lbs, high blood pressure, and my nipples were extremely puffy. Come to find out it was likely high E2. I freaked reading about gyno and stopped cold turkey when my doc refused to see me. 4 weeks later, I went to a specialized clinic and they started me on 100mg every 4 days (I guess this is technically 175/week) and .5mg anastrozole on the day of injections. Current feelings: Tired with a weird soreness in my body. Like I’m always on day 5 of getting over a cold. I assume this is probably my E2 being too low due to the AI. However, my nipples just won’t go down. Even when I got off for 4 weeks and my E2 was 8. I’m honestly pretty upset about it. I have a nodule behind one nipple now, but both are crazy puffy. Yesterday my doc gave me 10mg of Tamoxifen every day to battle the lump. I started TRT after hearing all the glorious stories of higher energy, libido, etc, but I’m left almost 6 months in feeling exhausted and wanting to give up. Even that is daunting, as I’m sure I’ve obliterated my natural system by now. And I’m sure my gyno will remain. It’s just too much to figure out how to dial it in. Any help would be appreciated. For context my T was 175 when I first started back in August. Blood work is a week from tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
