Considering weaning off of TRT

Erection without libido. Mate, at least you've got half of it working! I better understand your situation. I'm not as knowledgeable as a few(or many) of the other guys on this forum, but maybe more T is a solution. Just a guess. As for Trimix, never tried it but I've read men saying it's painless. 30g, 1/2 inch needle. I'd use 31 gauge.

Yesterday morning, went back to subq and was awakened by an erection! My wife and I sleep in separate bedrooms because of sleep issues but the wood was good enough for a quick slap and tickle, LOL.
An old thread but you're not alone sleeping in separate rooms. 6 out of 8 women on my wife's hockey team admitted to sleeping separately. Even when we sleep together, morning oak wasn't "acted upon"
 
It's great that you get a good response to Cialis! My urologist told me that a man has to have a total T of at least 600 ng/dL to get a response to oral erectile meds. Maybe that's all you need, along with a more adventurous sex partner.

I'm really at a disadvantage regarding PDE-5 inhibitors. Cialis at low dose gives me a nasty headache that lasts a day to a day and a half. Never tried Viagra. I have Vardenafil and I can reasonably tolerate it, though it messes with my sleep and stomach. Taking a pill would so much easier and convenient than an injection in the penis, LOL. Cialis is the winner since it lasts for 3 days. I read an abstract where men were given 20 mg of Cialis, I believe 3 times a week. Several of them had spontaneous erections return. I can only sadly dream of that. :(
Since "tada"lafil works like a vaso-dialator and coffee works as a vaso-restrictor, have you had a cup or two when you get the headaches? My GP recommends caffeine when his patients have irritating headaches. Worked the first week I was using "tada!"

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.
