[QUOTE="Cshull09, post: 248375, member: 45061"] Looking for help 7 weeks in 32, 185 lbs, 6’ 1”, don’t train but active life build my own house ect. I started TRT 7 weeks ago. I’ve never had anxiety or depression in my life but Jan 7th I had a full blown anxiety/panic attack pretty much outta no where. I’ve since learned that stress kills T, and I was/am under a lot of stress. Before though, stress seemed healthy to me. I thrived taking on lots of projects and working long hours. Now the script has flipped. Anyway I went to the doc a week after the anxiety started because I was so miserable. Just in a constant state of fear. First labs revealed. Total t 177 ng/dl Free t 10.1 pg/ml Estradiol 11.pg/ml High reverse T3 And low Vit D After labs he started me in 100 mg once per week of test C and Vit D supp. Things were trending upward until mid way through the third week. I woke up 2 days before my next shot drenched in sweat and in a terrible panic. I told the doc and we ran labs right before the 4th shot. Those labs showed Total T of 377 ng/dl Free T of 14 pg/ml Estradiol of 24.6 pg/ml Reverse T3 improved into normal range Didn’t test Vit d The day after my 4th shot I felt real depression for the first time in my life. I wasn’t thinking of the S word, but I def wanted to die. This scared the life outta me. I decided to start lexapro that the doc had prescribed at the very beginning, he said to help even things out. Well I only lasted 6 days on that at half does (5mg) because it made the anxiety/derealization soooo much worse. The following week, week 5, was my best yet. It helped that I took time off but I thought for sure I was finally coming outta it. I was also unhappy with the unavailability of my main doc so I went to a clinic for a second opinion. They drew blood directly AFTER my 5th shot and found Total T 732 ng/dl Free T 25.3 pg/ml Dhea 300 ug/dl Estradiol 35 pg/ml SHBG 19.1 NMOL/L Thyroid markers were all good, good insulin sensitivity, good Vit D. Well 2 days into week 6 the anxiety came back and has been kinda present ever since. Now I’m halfway through week 7 and I experienced true depression again so I decided to reach out. I’m still off work looking for answers. Hopefully someone has a story like mine and can help. Maybe more frequent injections? Tldr: suddenly developed anxiety at age 32 after never having it. Want to give TRT a chance but it hasn’t really seemed to help. Wondering if more frequent injections would help. Edit: I should also add I have no libido at all.
