[QUOTE="electrify, post: 268262, member: 44439"] I've wondered if the initial drop in T triggers anxiety/OCD neural pathways in people that take time to resolve even beyond the TRT. I remember at the beginning of my issues I used to think high E2 was creating symptoms but over time and one day when I got better it literally did not affect me at all. I was able to even not take TRT for a week and mentally was still fine, but just felt low libido and some moodiness. Also in the beginning of TRT I remember cortisol did drop but eventually it just stopped happening and my HPA maintained itself, like cortisol levels of 18 ug/dL despite it. Even at times I didn't take preg or HCG. I've wondered, maybe people need to also just live their life and let the T and behavior rewire the neural pathways and HPA over time? Of course now I have other health issues (emotional blunting) that began last year after covid/alc/caffeine but these are unrelated to hormonal stuff. Interestingly, its only after that started that over time my cortisol has come down again but I can tell it's due to the stress of the health issue or the impact of those things and not TRT as I have plenty of blood work over the years.
