[QUOTE="Raindog, post: 156869, member: 18433"] TRT effects my mental health big time. I have ADHD, some mild depression and anxiety. Had an awesome honeymoon period- was beforfe I had an ADHD diagnosis and TRT initially made it go away. I didnt feel anxious, depressed or ADHD. These things slowly all came back, but to a much lower degree, except the ADHD which got worse. Ive gone up and down with T and E and how it effects my ADHD and the meds I take for it too. My meds react differently depending on my hormone levels. Sometimes it can feel like they dont work at all if I am not right hormonally. But mainly for me it is looking like I need highish test- in the 900's and mid range E in the 20's coupled with pregenolone. Low and high E is all bad. I inject .40 mg EOD. I get slightly high E at this level. Ive tried an AI and I drop to low, its too hard to figure out using an AI for me. I seem to be able to control it enough using a Chrysin lotion a local pharmacy made up. If I lower T to control E, I loose the feeling I can accomplish things, confidence sort of, more like "lets get this done now" thing, I get more worried generally (before TRT this was full blown anxiety w/ an occasionally panic attack), socially withdrawn... If I take the Pregnenolone out of my protocol ADHD meds do not work right (Guanfacine) and I get a subtle depression and socially withdrawn even at highish t levels. I take 25 mg. of OTC Pregnenolone every other day to maintain. It feels like it is a balance between Pregnenolone, E and T for me to feel good mentally. Has anyone tried Chrysin lotion to control E? I havent seen much on this yet. I was skeptical, been only a couple weeks now, but I think its doing something... Will get some labs in a couple or few more weeks to see for sure.... [/QUOTE]
