Thank you Kemp! Will look into this!Much more like your natural test production and better DHT conversion and estrogen management. IMO the best TRT protocol.

Thank you madman. I have upped my testosterone dosage to 40mg x3 per week. Will see if it makes a difference.I tend to agree with you that with my numbers, I don't think my hormones are the problem. I was going to try one final protocol of 40mg on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I doubt it will help though, especially since 10mg of cialis is not working. Do you think it is worth a shot?
No harm in trying as you have room to bring up your trough FT if need be but again highly doubtful your issues with ED are due to your FT level.
I am currently also reducing my anafranil to switch completely to Trazadone under the supervision of my psychiatrist.
I am also abstaining completely from porn (3 weeks in) to see if that makes a difference.
I also have an appointment lined up with a pelvic floor therapist to see if there are any issues with my pelvic floor.
Smart move ditching the Anafranil as it poses a higher risk for sexual dysfunction (ED, reduced libido ejaculatory issues) due to its strong serotonin reuptake inhibition.
* Anafranil, a tricyclic antidepressant, frequently causes sexual dysfunction, including ED and ejaculatory problems, because it potently blocks serotonin transporters
Thank you wondering.After the response I just got, I would drop your original post into ChatGPT. Seriously.
