March 2024
I was feeling great and I was injecting 160 mg a week (test cyp) with .5mg of arimidex at every injection. My trt clinic changed my AI to aromasin due to lipids but they overprescribed me and told me take 25mg every day. 3 weeks later of taking it everyday I woke up in a crazy panic attack and I could tell little by little during those 3 weeks that something was off. I was getting depressed.
Trt clinic told me to get off the aromasin and just inject my regular dose which at the time was 60mg twice a week.
6 weeks later I started feeling great again. Positive attitude and great libido.
Then all of a sudden two weeks after that (mid May) my anxiety randomly came back. My PCP did also encourage me to drop my dose to 50mg weekly at the beginning of those two weeks as well since he thought my dose was too high.
My trt clinic advised me to go to 100mg a week. 5 weeks later I’m still struggling with the anxiety. Lately my anxiety almost goes to a panic attack the days I inject in the afternoon.
Remember that there was no AI since late March.
I’m seriously considering starting arimidex again and seeing if it helps as I keep getting emotional not feeling like myself and having intrusive thoughts.
If any of you have any thoughts I’d appreciate it.
Personally I think my estrogen creeped up slowly and passed the sweet spot (hence the two weeks of feeling great).
