Help. Low cortisol and hypothyroid on TRT

[douglasmich]

I have been on TRT for 2 years now. 50mg 2x a week test-cyp with no arimidex or HCG.

My last bloods came back with an e2 of 28 and test as 950ng/dl. DOctor was very impressed.

However over last 6 months ive gotton worse on TRT. I had my cortisol checked via 24hr cortisol saliva and it was 50% lower then what it was before TRT.

I now have a hypothyroid aswell with a 35.7C temp in the morning !. I have a script for armour thyroid but i cannot take more then a grain because the low cortisol causes pannick attacks.

I am considering STOPPING TRT because it feels like it has made me worse by ruining my pregnenolone production and screwing up cortisol.

i tried oral pregnenolone 2mg and i felt foggy and bad on it. Im very close to giving up.

Can anyone help me?? thanks.

I would not stop TRT, because if you do, your T levels are gonna drop to near zero without a re-start protocol that takes weeks or months. Trust me, you don't want your T levels near zero on top of your current issues.

There are guys here that know a lot about cortisol and thyroid issues and I am sure they can help you.
