Also in a similar situation here. Anxiety, insomnia, hematocrit and hemoglobin issues, etc all while on TRT. Haven't taken a shot since Friday and sleeping better already, and that's without any extra sleep supplements. Anxiety improved. The reason my last shot was Friday though was because my HH were scary high, 53.8 and 18.8 (in my opinion, plenty of people disagree though).

I can feel the brain fatigue (as i call it) starting again as I recall that from years ago, and blood pressure is even lower (118/64). Doctor appt is tomorrow to decide which avenue to take next.
Apparently eating grapefruit regularly can help lower hematocrit. Haven't done it yet, but worth trying especially cause it tastes pretty good too and isn't a drug. Who knows if it works though and by how much

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
