[QUOTE="cja, post: 64820, member: 15116"] A little back story here. Began TRT in December of 2016 with my PCP. I was on 200mg every 2 weeks, for the first 3 injections (6 weeks), then 200mg once per month. Reddit helped me see this protocol was horrible, and PCP refused to budge. Since the pharmacy kept refilling me with 2 X 200mg 1ml vials I was able to start a 50mg E3.5D protocol. I then sought out Defy, I ran out of my PCP test and got my meds from Defy on my injection day, couldnt have worked out better! With Defy the protocol is... 70mg Test CYP E3.5D 400ui HCG E3.5D .22 Anastrozole E3.5D (my sensitive E2 was 40.5 while on the 50mg E3.5D) 25mg DHEA Daily With this I felt great for about 2 weeks, best I have felt in years! Slowly after I began to lose libido, getting sleepy again, some foggy brain, water retention but also more urinating, sore and at times clicky joints. One day I am sure E2 is high, the next day I am sure it is low. I still have the morning wood, though its not as strong as before. I spoke with someone and they said it is the long acting opiate I take daily, this is why I am no longer feeling like I did those 2 weeks. I know the opiate is the cause of my hypogonadism, but with the TRT these symptoms should vanish, not just come and go as they please. I am 42 years old, a little overweight, but get a full workout while at work. I am set to do labs again Monday morning (Defy Medical), just Test and E2 sensitive, so hopefully there will be some answers in my blood. Has anyone any knowledge on the TRT with opiates, could the opiates be counter acting my TRT to the point I am experiencing? If so, is there another OTC med/supplement I can take to help keep this in check. I have also read where many people are taking Wellbutrin along with TRT, perhaps this is a option? Thanks in advance!
