[QUOTE="miked123, post: 75057, member: 7549"] Hi folks, Been on TRT and with Defy since Thanksgiving 2016. Primary goal was to solve fatigue problem, with libido being a secondary goal. Unfortunately, I haven't really gained a lot of ground. Energy during the morning and day is below average, with it dropping off significantly in the evening. Upon starting my protocol, the incessant yawning I would experience around 5-6pm everyday went down to a trickle, but energy levels have barely improved. When I get home from work, I just want to veg out on the couch. Libido is essentially unchanged. I did have a honeymoon period of crazy libido, but it has since gone back to normal. Dr. Saya put me on low dose Anastrozole, as my first blood work after 6 weeks showed high E2 (61). That turned me psychotic and I have since lowered my dose (and HCG dose) and ditched the AI, and these latest labs show E2 (41) in a much better spot. I really want to improve energy levels and climb out of this fatigue funk. I lift weights regularly, count calories and macros, and have lost a few pounds and gained a little muscle since starting TRT. Sleep could be better, but I have had bad fatigue for the last 4 years and during that period there would be times when sleep was dialed in and fatigue remained the same. I am unsure what to investigate next. Reverse T3 is very high (no infections, sickness, or stress at time of test). Free T3 is slightly below mid range. TPO is high, although been dropping from a high of 54 at the start of TRT. Cortisol is lowish, with first sample good but remaining 3 low. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Current protocol: 18mg Test Cyp daily 100iu HCG daily 500mg Metformin 2x DHEA Selenium NAC Ubiquinol fish oil B12 B6 Vit C Vit D Vit E Vit K magnesium iron Salivary Cortisol x4 - 5/30/17 Blood work - 6/15/17 [/QUOTE]
