First post - started TRT 8 days ago, questions about protocol and Primary diagnosis

Wow I feel you on the k-pin wd's. I quit xanax cold turkey 3.5 years ago after daily use of 2+ mg. It was terrible. Absolutely destroyed my life. I did not lose much if any muscle mass but it surely took its toll on my body. I was unaware of the fact that benzo wd can bottom out your testosterone. No wonder I was feeling so terrible then. I wouldn't be surprised if it is still a factor in my hormonal issues to this day.
Hey Brother

I recently finished my "Kpin Taper", did you experience any "Benzo Belly"? I'm currently awaiting my blood work results after being on Klonopin for over 17 years @ 1.5 to 2 mg daily! During that time I also took 3 to 4 10 mg Hydrocodone every single day! What's interesting is I somehow managed to stay shredded up until around 2012 at which time I believe I may have started going into " Hardcore Tolerance Withdrawal".

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.
