Hey guys,
I'll be brief, just looking for some feedback.
Been on TRT since 2013 due to a testicular injury suffered in the gym. T never recovered past 300 total after surgery, so here I am. First doc was the urologist, 200mg IM every 2 weeks. Felt amazing for like 3 months and then the rollercoaster became too much. Fast forward, a lot.. Signed up with Defy in like 2017/18 and worked with them to develop a good regiment. Turns out, My SHBG is lower, around 22, so more frequent doses (.33units MWF) were needed and this helped a lot. Also, I over-respond to AI, so went to 0.05mg adex once a week. DHEA was on the low end, so suggested I supplement 10mg before bed.
Ok. So I got lazy.
I got to the point that I quit HCG because I only have two stockpiled vials left, quit the DHEA, and was not really paying attention to the T scheduled and just knowing I was injecting 200/mg a week at kind of random intervals. All in all, I wasn't doing too terribly bad like this.
I decide to dial it back in a couple weeks back. Everything described above I have been doing to the letter, except my DHEA tabs are 25mg so I cut them in half and take 12.5.
I'm feeling pretty miserable. I've been sleeping better but have brain fog, motivation is trash, libido is crashed which has been historically insanely high, haven't had a spontaneous erection in a couple weeks and they're weak when forced, having some odd joint pain, and I'm just wondering WTF is going on here? I've been around long enough to know that this is kind of how I feel when E2 gets up into the high 40s, but arimidex crashes me down like 15 points if I over do it.
I'm due for labs, just need to make the hour drive over there, and due for a follow up that I've already paid for. My schedule is messy so I'll get it it all when I can. Just wanted to see what you guys might think.
Regards,
