Crazy Anxiety 5 Weeks In

Hi brewz…

I feel very sorry for you with the anxiety issue. I suffered from anxiety for much of my life, mostly tracing back to a beloved parent dying when I was at a shitty age.

There may not be much you can do about this particular anxiety except “ride it out” and tell yourself it’s the meds right now. Not nice to hear but comforting in its own way. If it is the TRT, the intensity of what you are going through now will likely subside. I do find that even 100mg a week can cause my anxiety to spike a little, although I generally treat it as a “buzz”. It is possible that 100mg is a little too much for you and you can get away with 80-85mg (two 40mg doses). Twice a week gives you about a 20% boost compared to once weekly (so 85mg can get you close to what 100mg would do for you on once a week).

One week last year when I injected too much I got VERY anxious and paranoid for the first day or two after the inject. Unpleasant. I hope it works out for you.

In the meantime, I shared this post on another thread about a breakthrough way to deal with anxiety. I have had excellent feedback from the people I’ve given it to. I recommend you sit and read it and take it in and see if it the advice can help you with the everyday anxiety you face (perhaps not so much with this little bout if it is chemically driven).

Although the post linked below refers to PTSD, the technique works wonders for generalized anxiety. It’s there to help if you need it. Best of luck.
