[QUOTE="Kirk001, post: 112314, member: 18401"] So I'm 10 days into my first experience with hormone therapy. The protocol given to me was 15mg clomiphene ED, 25mg DHEA ED, and 0.125mg anastrozole as needed. So far I have only taken the clomiphene. While waiting for the meds to arrive I did some research and asked in the forums. DHEA seems to have a wildly varied effect on different people, so I decided to wait on that to see how clomiphene affected me first. And the advice I got on anastrozole was to not take any until/unless I had high E2 symptoms and lab work to back it up. Until today, I have felt no effects at all except that my testicles feel kinda like inflating balloons. So this has been a mild discomfort. But today I am feeling strong anxiety, worry, negative thoughts and emotions, pessimistic feelings... It sorta came out of the blue because I wasn't feeling this way yesterday, and it feels out of the ordinary for me. So what to do now? I am supposed to do follow-up labs and consultation after 30 days and I wanted to try to do clomiphene alone with no anastrozole for the whole time period to see what my numbers would be. But there is no way I'm going to feel like this for 20 more days. Should I just stick it out for a bit and see if these feelings are temporary? Or add in some anastrozole? Or try to get a rush consultation with my provider sooner than the 30 days? (I don't know if this is possible but I could try.) And if I do get an earlier consult, what changes if any to make in the mean time? Pre-treatment numbers: Total Testosterone 297 ng/dL (264-916), Free Testosterone 8.3 pg/mL (8.7-25.1), Estradiol Sensitive 14.5 pg/mL (8.0-35.0). [/QUOTE]
