[QUOTE="Novaman, post: 167413, member: 39069"] I was on TRT for nearly 5 years. Started at 200 mg Test Cyp a week split in 2 doses, 500 IU HCG 2x a week and 1 mg of Anastrozole a week. I started noticing issues with the RHR and awareness of my heart beat and sleep a few months in but it wasn't that bad. It became a bigger issue after a year or two. I started adjusting my dosages downward. Dropped the Test to 180 mg, then 160 mg, then 140 mg, Adjusted the HCG downward, also adjusted the AI down, But the symptoms worsened despite the changes I made. Eventually the sleep was so bad I stopped for 3 months before giving things another try. This time I tried only Test Cyp at 120 mg a week, no HCG, no AI, but my symptoms returned. I Then switched to Defy and the doc had me try some ancillary meds (lyothyronine and DHEA) but they made me feel horrible. I gave one last try and decided to micro dose the Test at 60 mg a week but still had issues. My last straw was 2 episodes where I felt like I was going to collapse. I was literally concentrating on just being able to stand erect. And I was SO tired due to poor sleep. So I quit. Like I said, it has been 33 days so I still have a ways to go. I am just coming out of the worst of it (I hope) which I understand is usually around weeks 3-4. My erection quality is still good, but honestly was never an issue anyways. My libido though was near zero although I was able to have sex with my wife. I am starting to notice an uptick these past few days though. I understand it might take a while for me to feel normal again- it could be a good 3-6 months. But at least my heart doesn't beat fast anymore, and I can sleep better, and I no longer have any episodes where I feel like I am going to collapse [/QUOTE]
