[QUOTE="irishguy1989, post: 178007, member: 39286"] About 6 months ago I started TRT with a TT that ranged between 450-550 and a free T that was 10-11 ng/dl (range was 5-20). My symptoms were anxiety, no morning wood, poor erections, v low libido, no motivation etc for many years. I did 2 short steroid cycles in the past that probably didn’t help. Since my free T was lowish I eventually found a private clinic to treat me and initially felt great on TRT but haven’t had much difference since then and have had to go back on anxiety meds and go back to CBT (which was the main reason I wanted to try TRT in the first place). Even at the upper range I don’t feel much difference and my prolactin is also way above range since starting TRT. My thought is that TRT is maybe doing more harm than good now and whether I should perhaps come off of TRT (with a PCT). I honestly believe that most of my issues might be related to mental health and not hormones. Any insight or advice would be helpful.
