[QUOTE="BillyJ03z, post: 218527, member: 17759"] FWIW.... I have been on TRT for approximately 12 years..... I was working as a Federal Air Marshal at the time and due to the constant travel, time zone changes, lack of sleep my natural T levels took a hit and I was kind of a walking zombie... So I started on TRT to help balance out my levels... I never had that initial honeymoon of feeling great.... Sleep has gotten progressively worse, sex drive up and down, noticeable cognitive decline over the years (not apparent to others but I can tell as I am/was usually always quick tongued/sharp with my words.. I sometimes feel like I am fumbling to find words when trying to speak eloquently), I find that stimulants which I usually used to get hyped up for working out doesn't work (I never abused stims ever).. Overall I feel kind of blah... I have low SHBG from TRT (prior my SHBG was mid-level) , however, since adding Thyroid to my regimine it has raised my single digits SHB up in low to mid 20's...... I know in the beginning I was overdoing the TRT with 200mg/wk and I tried varying dosages over the years between 100 and 200mgs as well as ed, eod, bi-weekly inj schedule to no avail... I then a few months ago tried lowering my dosages to under 70mg/wk which was worse than all the others, as my muscles felt flatter, physically weaker, and way less energy.... I am now back to 100mg/wk (Cyp/Prop blend) (pure test minus ester) and I feel best on this, not great but better than the rest, but I still have all the problems listed previous... In all honesty, I wish I never started this TRT journey, as cycling AAS once or twice a year prior to TRT was awesome for me.... I am seriously debating coming off TRT completely but I don't think I can handle the crash emotionally, physically, energy wise with my job and family life... I am at crossroads.... [/QUOTE]
