[QUOTE="Charliebizz, post: 159116, member: 12858"] When I first started trt. I didnt have e2 problems at all. According to labs that is. But I was in great shape and 10 years younger. 37 now. But what I did have was low normal cortisol and trt lowered my cortisol even further I confirmed it a few times through blood and saliva. However trt with Cortef was probably one of the worst times in my trt journey. A lot of which dr c had no explanation for. We tried many other things in between and it didn’t go well so I got off. Fast forward to my last few times with trt. I tried low dose lexapro because of dr Marino’s work with ssri and cortisol. And I actually was able to tolerate trt. I felt ok on it but not great but things were looking up. Then boom 6 months in I started getting mental sides. Anxiety and loss of interest and just over all grey outlook on life. Now mind you at that time I put on weight and wasn’t working out much and having my first kid. My estrogen was now high on labs and could very well be what contributed to the mental sides. Tried an a.i a few times but was never really comfortable taking them. So long story short I’ve been through the ringer with trt and restarts and trying t3 and cortisol. Also preg cream and prog cream and just got so tired of it all. I come off cold turkey with no real issues and I could live my life like this if I have too but I am always tired libido sucks eq isn’t great. No spontaneous or nocturnal erections. And terrible workout recovery. So I would really like to fix that. But I don’t really want to waste my time. Low shbg has been a pain in the ass for me dealing with trt. I was hoping any low shbg guys did well with cream. Because injections were just too all over the place for me [/QUOTE]
