Hello,
I'm currently just over two weeks into TRT. Protocol is 200MG/ML Hydrogel cream from Empower. Two clicks in the morning, applying one click to scrotum and one to shoulder or chest area. Have not done follow up labs.
The two positive things I have noticed so far is a marked increase in nocturnal/morning erections with an increase in energy and intensity at the gym and an increase in energy level throughout the day.
A couple of other things I'm experiencing the last few days I have questions about. About 4-6 hours after application I've been experiencing facial flushing (redness) and two days ago some minor anxiety coupled with heart palpitations that lasted about two hours. Woke up in the middle of the night from continued feelings of anxiety. Thinking that I may be absorbing very well I skipped this mornings dose, and as of late this afternoon the anxiety and any sign of heart palpitations are gone. (I plan on resuming tomorrow with just one click to the shoulders)
My question is how many of you experienced similar symptoms when starting TRT, especially creams applied to the scrotum. Does that area have a much higher absorption rates? Also what does it feel like for you when your levels rise too quickly or into the supraphysiologic range?
Thanks much.
