My question is why the hell am I getting bad anxiety directly after my injection. Followed by days of bad anxiety and depression? I don't even wanna leave the house. Went to the gym once and felt great. About an hour after right back to the anxiety. I'm 32 and my levels were 200 something. I'm prescribed 100mg a week. But I planned on taking more especially since I did when I was younger. I'm hearing it could be the conversion to estrogen along with many other things. HELP!!!
 
I have been going through the same thing. I was having panic attacks started heavy dosing AI and the panic attacks went away, but still dealing with the anxiety.
 
Did the doc prescribe the AI n how much? I just wanna be semi normal lol. I hate feeling this way.
 
Conversion to estrogen will depend on dose. There is no set dose as to where testosterone converts to estrogen, as everyone responds to exogenous AAS differently. Honestly, I feel that the anxiety/depression could be related to something else entirely different. Keep in mind that low testosterone can cause depression, so the TRT should cause relief with this.
 
That's what I was thinking. But it definitely got worse. Before my anxiety was barely ever. Then after injection it got worse. I'm wondering if it could be allergies to cottonseed oil?

How fast is ur body converting the test? I started getting panic attacks after my last shot, usually do 100 mlg per week, new nurse gave me a bump to 200, and then it all started, its weird i know, not sure if my body much like urs just freaked out because it had to ramp up all the hormones due to the sudden increase? Whats ur e2? High e2 has been known to thro ur body into panic attacks.... Start with an ai, get bw done to see how high ur e2, e1, are, get it all checked out
 
Adex causes me to have issues at higher doses...i dont think op was usind adex though at trt dose...i could be wrong....

Sounds like it could be all mental to me. But i'm not a shrink either. I mean I get anxiety too when I'm pumping large amounts of test into my body but at a trt dose IDK man, something seems off. Maybe you have a legit anxiety disorder and should see a psyc and get a eval?
 
not sure bro...i kniw in studys at hrt doses it helped with anxiety disorders amonst other things....id say get bloods done and see what estro is plus hemoblobin,rbc etc...there might be something in the blood test that helps out if not id try different esters maybe...
 
Tren does that to me but not test in any amount. Weird.

Hope you get this sorted out. Depression can lead to bad shit so don't stop lifting whatever you do. Make yourself get up and go to the gym no matter what.
 
Oh check your blood pressure too. High bp can cause panic attacks for some people, and no I'm not joking.
 
First does anxiety and depression run in your family? sounds like you have had an issue but not often enough to worry about. Also, what other meds are you taking.? Also,Sounds like first ai didn't work so well. This could cause your problem by itself if you already have borderline anxiety and depression.or if it runs in your family. Your injecting once a week? And no ai? Sounds like your hormone levels are bouncing all over the place.
How long after injection (days) does it take before your anxiety subsides? to bad when this first starts you couldn't get bloods? This would be the best thing for a comparison.

When injecting once weekly, how long (days, hours?) after your injection should you take an AI?

I had a similar reaction after a few months on TRT. I wasn't getting sensitive nipples or any gyno type symptoms so I stopped using my AI and after a week or two I was a total wreck. First thing I would do is try to take an AI if you have any on hand, get bloods if you can, and if you need go and see a doctor. I hate going to the doctor, but they can test for a lot more shit faster and better than me, and every day of misery you spend trying to figure it out yourself is another day you lost.

That E2 is not that bad and should not, in general, cause the symptoms you are quoting. And 100 mg per week should not be enough to cause those issues. Even if you are a high converter Estrogen is not typically linked to anxiety. My E2 has been as high as 72 and I did not feel those effects running 300 mg per week of Test E.

Have you considered splitting you dose into two events each week instead of just one? That could help but honestly once you reach a stable level it wont matter as the half life will almost completely negate the two injections at those levels. At larger doses it makes sense to split into two applications.

I hate the anxiety for ya brother. I get that when I run Tren A BAD........but its aggression versus anxiety for me.

I hope you get it worked out.
