Went to a TRT clinic. I personally think that I need to get on TRT and the clinic agreed, but I told myself that I'd give it some more thought before committing. Just want some input from anyone who knows what they're talking about.

I tried Testosterone about 4 years ago and have kinda had health issues ever since. Was only on it for 8-12 weeks at a decently high dose, felt kinda shitty on it and got off. No PCT but my pituitary values have always been fine, so I don't think Clomid would do anything. I think I probably have primary hypogonadism and my other health issues are a result of that.

My triglycerides are very high (7.34 nmol/L) but this was nonfasting and a very recent development. I think it is a result of my inability to tolerate exercise, but I eat fairly clean. HDL cholesterol is 0.90 nmol/L, slightly low.

LH 5.5 IU/L (1.3 - 9.6)
FSH 13 IU/L (1-16)

TESTOSTERONE 9.2 NMOL/L (7.6-31.4)

PROLACTIN 13 ug/L (<18)
ESTRADIOL 62 (<159 pmol/L)
FREE TESTOSTERONE 273 (160-699 pmol/L)

If anyone can even just point me in the right direction of who I should speak to I would appreciate that more than you would ever know. Here's my story:

In my early 20s I tested multiple times with fairly low testosterone and began TRT. Despite noticeable hypertrophic benefits, I began having weird side effects that I did not attribute to the testosterone. After working out in the morning, I’d have to nap at least 3 hours. Just insane post-exertional fatigue. When I worked out, my muscles seemed to become extremely sore after even just 1 set. It was a bizarre feeling that I can’t quite articulate well, but it felt like my muscles were locking. I tried electrolytes, supplements, but nothing helped. After 10-12 weeks, I suspected that the TRT was playing a role in this and stopped taking it. I was not given anything afterwards like Clomid, just went off cold turkey. This is when I started experiencing severe depression and anhedonia that, despite a history of anxiety and panic attacks, I had never quite experienced before. There was just a profound disinterest in… everything. Weeks later, the panic attacks came back in full force. It was a truly horrible time. I started back on an SSRI and that helped my anxiety, I was functional again, but the depression remained. I got bloodwork and my testosterone was in a completely normal range despite the 12 weeks on TRT. My doctor simply attributed all of it to a chemical imbalance in my brain.

2 years later, still on an SSRI, my issues only got worse. The post-exertional malaise remained, I had issues with post-prandial fatigue, insomnia, gut issues (endoscopy found many small ulcers in my stomach, but I was given no treatment for it) and many other symptoms that align with something like long covid. I tried so many different treatments and nothing seemed to help at all. I tried getting off the SSRI and had horrible panic attacks, so that was not the answer. Stupidly, I thought that I ought to give TRT a try again. Maybe that would fix all of this?

Wrong. I started experiencing the most severe yet short panic attacks of my life. I cannot explain it but I am certain that they were caused by the testosterone. I dosed myself very small and these episodes would last for like 2-3 minutes where I got extremely hot and nearly confused, just full emergency mode in brain. My theory was that I was aromatizing the testosterone too quickly and high estrogen was causing these attacks, so like a complete fucking idiot I decided I needed an aromatase inhibitor alongside the TRT. Well if I thought I knew what anxiety was before the AI, I definitely knew it after. 0.5mg of Anastrazole absolutely fucking ruined me. I thought I was dying, I of course stopped taking everything at this time but for MONTHS my entire waking life was pure torture, all I could do was trying to get my mind off of feeling like I was going to die and self combust. I didn’t leave my apartment for like 2 straight months and all I could do was play video games to distract my brain, keep me occupied. It was true hell. Well that was about a year ago and I increased my SSRI dosage to 20mg and I am ‘fine’ now, in terms of anxiety. But the depression is soul sucking. I have extreme brain fog and writing this was incredibly difficult. I used to be smart. A year ago I was still exercising even though I felt shit after, but now I can’t. I gained 50lbs which is extremely out of the ordinary for me. My life is truly awful and I’m agoraphobic and don’t talk to any of my friends even though they try to contact me. I’ve tried different antidepressants and none of them work. I don’t know what to do except try to get this story out to as many eyes as possible if someone can relate or give me an idea of what to do.

My most recent labs have my testosterone at the very bottom of in-range (312) my estradiol is very low (single digits) and my DHEA is absurdly high at around 650. I can’t figure any of this out or what my next steps should be. I haven’t taken anything in over a year other than my psychiatric medications. If anyone has ANY ideas on what I can do, who I should speak to (doctors are ZERO help) please help. I've also had genetics tested and I have a homozygous mutation in the CYP19A1 gene which codes for the aromatase gene, meaning I have less enzyme activity there. Not sure how relevant that is.

I just got this shirt and while I don't LOVE the colour patterns, I love how it feels. It's the perfect soft cotton that I have a difficult time finding. Why don't the Uniqlo U (Crew neck t-shirts) feel like this? Does anyone know where I can find more shirts like this? Thanks!

Hi,

I'm currently on an SSRI and discussing with my psychiatrist about potentially switching to an MAOI, however one of the things I'm worried about is the weight gain. It's difficult searching to see if anyone has had any negligible effects regarding their weight with something like Nardil because they probably wouldn't post about it. When Lexapro still worked for me, it actually helped me LOSE weight and I was the healthiest I'd ever been. But since having to drastically increase my dose due to panic attacks, not only has my depression gotten worse but I've gained about 50lbs which is extremely out of the ordinary for my body. My thinking was that switching to a medication that has a better efficacy for me might actually help me lose the weight, but all I see is people complaining about their weight gain here. Any thoughts? Really appreciate it.

Isn't that crazy to think about
