[QUOTE="Sloth, post: 68981, member: 14977"] Hello everyone! I'm getting desperate trying to find a solution to my life-long problems, so I'm posting this here hoping that maybe someone might give me some ideas and/or solutions. A little back story: I'm 33, but ever since my early teenage years, I had major problems with lack of energy, motivation etc. Even simply going out of bed in the morning has always been a problem. Then a bit more than a year ago I thought that I finally found a solution (TRT), but after being on it for the past 6 months, I only see minimal improvement. Following advice and instructions of an anti-aging doctor, I also have my diet in check (fully for the past 6 months, but even before that my diet was very good for another 2 years or so - only fresh and organic food). But also no improvement at all ... I'm also taking loads of supplements: Vitamin D, Zinc, Magnesium, Omega 3, Vitamin B-Complex, Boron, multi-vitamin, Iron, Shilajit, Ginseng, you name it ... But nothing helps at all, no matter what I take, I don't even feel any real difference whatsoever. I even took a high (100mg) dose of Pregnenolone for a couple weeks, strangely didn't even feel a thing (this, along with TRT, makes me think my main problems might not be too hormone-related). My TRT protocol: 200mg Cyp per week, EOD (around 57mg per subq injection), HCG 200iu EOD, 0.125mg Arimidex EOD. I started at 100mg per week, but had a high SHBG, after switching to 200mg, my SHBG now normalized. But again, I don't really feel anything. Does anyone have any ideas of what could help me? Thanks and regards, Sloth P.s.: Some blood-work results: Total T: 9.64 ng/ml (2.41 - 8.27) SHBG: 30.55 nmol/l (14.7 - 44.9) DHT: 616 pg/ml (300 - 850) TSH: 1.28 mIU/L (0.35 - 4.94) T4: 16.46 pmol/L (9.01 - 19.05) T3: 4.23 pmol/L (2.63 - 5.70) TPSA: 1.168 μg/L (< 4.0) Estradiol: 26 ng/L (11-44) DHEA-S: 12.6 μmol/L (4.6 - 16.1) Prolactin: 11.66 (3.46 - 19.4) Cortisol: 308.4 nmol/L (101.2-535-7) P.p.s.: I'm going to push to get a sleep study done, but I really don't think that's the problem as sleeping is the one thing I never seemed to have issues with.
