[QUOTE="JustPanicNoDisco, post: 231071, member: 42100"] I'm strongly considering getting off TRT after being on 1.5 years and worsening my health tremendously. Since I'm suffering from an abundance of low E2 symptoms which I would probably exacerbate majorly if I were to use SERMs. Are there any other good alternatives? Anything that antagonizes estrogen (even things like cialis) absolutely wreck me, hence my need for alternatives. Current thoughts on potential tools for recovery: - Triptorelin - some people have used this to recover HPTA function after failing to recover their HPTA with SERMs) by kickstarting GnRH production and all downstream hormones (LHRH -> LH -> T -> e2) - Gonadorelin (another GnRH agonist, which sometimes is used for puberty, and I believe which [USER=38109]@Cataceous[/USER] uses for preserving some LH activity). Any others to consider? Any input? Read story below for more info. Back story: I crashed my e2 for a prolonged period when I started TRT about 1.5 years ago, and it's been nothing but hell since (flat emotions, memory loss, brain fog, lack of sweating, loss of erection "fullness", loss of libido, anhedonia, apathy, anxiety, among many others). When experimenting with exogenous estrogen, I did see some improvements in some symptoms; however, I was toying with too many variables. I may try a couple more regimens before throwing in the towel on TRT and trying to get my estrogen to work naturally (I wasn't technically hypogonadal prior to starting TRT, but I had lasting sexual side effects from SSRIs - a condition called PSSD, which is very similar to PFS with respect to symptoms).
