[QUOTE="nicknot, post: 184764, member: 41132"] I've been on TRT for almost 5 weeks (started the 5th week last monday). I didn't feel much during the first 3 weeks, but at the beginning of the 4th week I started feeling much better. Very focused and clear of mind in a way I'd never experienced before. I've had brain fog my entire life and have never been able to stop the constant chatter in my mind long enough to formulate any long term plans. Since my early 20's I haven't even felt the desire to do anything. This all seemed to change very quickly during that 4th week. Most of my social anxiety went away and I started experiencing a calm focus that felt amazing. I even started for the first time in my life to want to actually do things, to have some thirst and enthusiasm for life, it was almost euphoric. These positive changes however only lasted for about a week or so and 5-6 days ago I started feeling even more anxiety than I ever did before in my life. I've also started feeling desperation and sleeping 12 hours/day with no motivation or energy to do anything. I'm with a clinic remotely and they have me on 23 mg per day (160 mg per week) of Testosterone Cypionate and nothing else. I asked for a daily protocol after doing some research. My Estradiol is naturally very low and my SHBG extremely high (80 nmol/L out of a 20 to 55 nmol/L range). I actually worked out 6 days/week before getting so depressed a week ago. I'm very lean and eat very healthy. No drugs/smoking/drinking, anything. All my bloods are great. Blood pressure, cholesterol, etc... They started me on what some would consider a high dose because my SHBG is so high and they said it would take a lot to get my Free T where I would feel good. Did this happen to anyone? Does it mean I'm taking too much? Not enough? One theory is that on my way up to higher levels of Test I passed a zone optimal for my mental well-being and have now overshot it. Another theory however is that I was getting a double dose of Test (natural production + TRT) and now that my natural production is shutting down I actually need more Test to make up for it. I'm not taking any hCG (don't care about kids of smaller testicles) or any AI. [/QUOTE]
