Brain Fog When Dose Is “Too High?"

Does anyone else have this or is this common? I am starting to see this is one of the biggest signs for me.

My ADHD symptoms are worse when I am on cycle levels of Test. I am more impulsive, and get distracted easier. I don’t know if that is exactly brain fog, but I will say unmedicated, ADHD for me can feel like brain fog in that not being able to focus makes it feel “foggy”, unable to keep my mind on something, just difficulty thinking type of thing.

Same here. It sneaks up on me and I never consider it could be the dose until the brain fog gets more extreme.

I’m the exact opposite, TRT has a calming effect on me and my ADHD only affects my energy levels. I’m less impulsive and can multitask for the first time in my life.

I’m pretty good at trt levels. When I bump it up for gains, my ADHD symptoms get worse.

Same here and I think you summarized it well. I feel more “durr durr” when doses are higher. Not sure if its a direct effect or because it messes with sleep, anxiety, etc.

And by higher doses I don’t even mean cycle territory. Just TRT itself being too high, IE 140 vs 100mg per week.

My watch tracks sleep quality pretty effectively. I find if I’m supra physiological ranges my sleep quality goes to shit leaving me with brain fog.

Could be whats happening with you?

Possibly. For sure anxiety and being negative is worse on higher doses for me, that I can for sure attest to.
