How to Counter Anxiety and Panic Attacks on HCG Monotherapy?

Before anything my test was 280 to 320 range i started trt 50mg 3.5 days caused lots of problems spontaneous painful long errections hairfall high hematocrit levels gyno high bp anxiety, than i did hcg monothreapy was working fine on 250iu eod which i adjusted after trying different protocols, AI sucked tried different doses still too much sides so I rather lowered the dose. 250iu hcg along with 75mg hmg twice per week was going ok but the tests remain same as i attached did twice almost same, on the other hand my testicles were full and bigger i was hung well having good erections good amount of semen still no sperm though, lost lot of fat every thing was fine for like 5 months until i started having panic attacks and anxiety was super high. I was waking up in middle of night hyper ventilated full of sweat rapid heart beat, went to hospital ecg was clear bp was normal except that doc said its anxiety you are having panic attacks i was like jumpy all day. And these episodes were happening after like 9 to 10 hrs of last hcg injection. I stopped hcg and took xanax for few days all back to normal but now i have like soft erection low libido and like smallest drop of semen ever after ejaculation. Please some one any one need help now i have no option left.

If 250iu was working, then go back to it. Some are prone to anxiety which hormones can exacerbate, hormones are like fuel for mental problems if they already exist or can cause mental problems where none existed.

The twice weekly TRT protocol may have been your problem from the start, T-cypionate causes spikes in testosterone and estrogen unlike naturally produced hormones. In these cases men should inject daily doses to minimize these spikes, I can tell you from first hand experience daily dosing was smoother emotionally.

It may not be the TRT or HCG causing the anxiety and panic attacks, it might just be you. You said you were doing fine and it sounds like all of these panic attacks came on suddenly.

The only thing you can do is lower the dosage and inject daily, but taking benzos amounts to chemical castration.

250iu eod was working until panic attacks and anxiety attacks but my labs dosent show that my labs always show low test and estro when in hcg lower than what i was before but physically i was perfect lost fat good libido a d erections etc all ok except labs but when i was on trt my labs showed test 570 that was after 50mg twice so from ur post i should go for every day approch but i tried 125mg ed hcg was not working and 250ed was giving sides as for test i dont know how much to take ED gels are not available here only test E depot so how mich and i am sensitive to medicine even a smaller dose works for me

You had xanax laying around. Do you have some other health issues that warrant you having xanax laying around?

Nope docor prescribed me xanax as i have written

Do you supplement magnesium?

I had multiple mineral deficiencies after starting TRT, TRT seemed to use up a lot of my minerals which were previously on the higher end. The anxiety could be a way you body is trying to tell you something if you never had it previously.

I have never known TRT or HCG to cause anxiety and panic attacks on the levels you’re describing. If I had to guess I would say you’ve been on xanax previously and are trying to wean yourself off do to the sexual side effects and are running into trouble. I could be wrong.

I’m very sensitive to medicine also, I’m an AI over-responder. Have you tried cutting up the xanax into smaller doses to see if that provides benefit without causing chemical castration?

If I had to choose between xanax and clonazepam, I would choose the latter because it has a longer half life and is smoother and not to abrupt when it hits or leaves your system. Xanax has a short half life of 6 hours in some people and is harder to taper off than clonazepam.

Just try to take these drug infrequently and not regularly so you don’t build a dependency. Getting off clonazepam after 30 years was hell on earth and what dropped my testosterone, I was hypersexual and had no erection problems on it.

Yes i do i take multi vitamins and those have magnesium and i was not a xanax user maybe melatonin now and then and i took 1 0.5mg xanax first day 0.25 next and 0.25 next than doc said dont take if u have no symptoms and i stopped because i had no anxiety panicking feelings sleept well it was just no more hcg no more libido :sob:

Well I was suffering some anxiety and thought ruminations and the endo that used to post on this board had me up my Mag from 400 to 600 before bed. Took 2 days and I was better. It never came back.

600mg or mcg ok i will try that too can u write ur protocol and how and when u took magni

I take 600mg of Magnesium Glycinate 10-15 minutes before bed. Titrate up if you don’t notice anything in 7 days. @physioLojik said he has guys as high as 1200.

I second the magnesium. Be sure to go with mag glycinate. The bulk of other forms have the potential to cause diarrhea in high enough doses. Some other great options to reduce panic and anxiety are pregnenalone (100 mg in am), omega 3s (up to 8 g per day as needed) and glycine (I take 5 g after workouts and 5 to 10 g before bed).

Some strains of kratom are great as well in moderation and cycled on and off as you can develop a tolerance. Kratom is banned in some states.

feel too sleepy the next day after taking all kinds of magnesium tried so far, didnt try glycinate.

Is it causing less sleepiness from the other ?

Glycine already take post workout will try to get pregnenalone and also taking on omega already

How much magnesium and what type? Ive never noticed this. Admittedly I use a lot of supplements but tyrosine in the AM on an empty stomach really revs the engine.

Citrate(200mg), aspartate, now I try L-Threonate - 144mg

Maybe I can try topical

Try the Mag Glycinate @400mg and @physioLojik always recommended a nightly cream on the legs instead of pills. I never tried it though. I do do an Epsom salt foot bath every couple of weeks.

It depends on how I’m feeling. Magnesium always makes me feel calmer. This can occassionaly lead to sleepiness at times. I run tense, so calm is always more welcome than stress, even if it comes with a touch of sleepiness.

Tyrosine is also in my pre workout blend but i going to drop caffeine now it also messes the already escalated condition tried that
