Headaches and a weird kind of fatigue. Like a heavy, down kinda feeling. Even at 10mg daily. I’ve tried playing around with different combinations and doses, including and excluding medications every few weeks to see what was doing what. I felt best on Lisinopril and Ezetimibe, worst on Telmisartan and Cialis. I’m thinking of trying Viagra next just to see if it does the same thing.
Funny you bring up cialis and viagra, eventually even 2.5mg daily cialis catches up to me. Only one time thus far but took a viagra yesterday and it worked like magic, less side effects and the benefit of them being gone so soon compared to cialis. Also in general, its only once but viagra seemed to work better over all in the general purpose.
That was my hope, shorting acting so shorter side effect time, if I get any. I don’t use for the bedroom, I was using for the gym and general health benefits, but I bet if I did the Viagra on my lifting days I’d get the same benefits. Going to call the doc tomorrow and get some
Half life of viagra is 4 hours, if you don’t struggle too much with ED it should last you the whole day even in that department. I honestly was thinking of what you are.
Would be cool if your doctor is actually cool to just give you a high daily dose.

I use Goodrx telemedicine service. They’ll Rx most things without too much hassle

I’ve seen this service. My wife needs some acne meds. Topicals haven’t helped her much. Do you think they would prescribe something like an oral acne med? I am thinking they probably wouldn’t Rx acutane, but may Rx a different one (I was on minocycline as a teen and it worked well).
FWIW, the side effects of Viagra were worse than Cialis for me. Just very stuffed up, kinda like really bad seasonal allergies. I did find though that it was very dose dependent. Quarter of a 75 mg pill, and no noticeable sides. Full pill, can’t breath through the nose at all.
I also think Viagra is the better dick pill if you can manage to get the timing (not great for morning sex). I kinda forgot what those type of erections are like (where you can be absent of physical touch for minutes at a time and still have a throbbing erection, sorry TMI haha).
I think they do acne stuff. They have over a dozen services they offer. I get my BP and lipids refills from them. My insurance charges $100 for a telemedicine visit, goodrx is $19. I’m sure she could find something. It’s all done via text and they call an Rx in.
I took Cialis 2.5mg for a year before it started acting up on me. Now I can’t take 1/4 of a tab without it shutting me down, congestion and headaches. Thankfully I am running Var now and getting the pumps 
Due to my age (35) they already gave me a hard time with daily cialis in only wanting me to do 5 mg EOD, not sure how they would see viagra since it’s not a daily med really. If they are cool with it I will look into it too.
That’s what I like about the telemedicine services; usually no hassle, no judgements, just a quick text and then the Rx
Around 30 is when ED seems to impact some guys. Seems weird they would doubt you. I would get it if you were 18, but 35 is a whole different thing.
Plus it isn’t like these drugs lose their effects after time. You might need more if you have worse ED, but there isn’t really a reason to not treat it if you have issues. It is also good for BP if you have those issues.
It’s a lot better and improved since I started controlling my E2 and got off that train. I just like to keep the pills on hand just Incase and also maybe it’s mental but I just feel like better to take than not to. Maybe psyched out due to dark time. Plus all the other benefits they say it provided.
Yeah it was with GoodRX they wanted me to do 5mg eod at most.
How long have you been on TRT? Give it 2-3 months, try daily dosing, try a lesser dose after 3 months if symptoms don’t resove.
If you feel ok, why is estrogen a problem?
Wait it out. It will go away for most men. Biggeset mistake men make on trt is blame estrogne, and then shoot themsleves in the foot by reducing the most improtant hormone that comees from trt.
brain, heart, bones, organs , libido and so much more comes from e.
I’d love to have higher Estrogen, but I have them below range with my FT as well. Without TRT ain’t no way they gonna improve and feeling with them down in the sewer makes life rough. Like enackers said - wait it out, don’t mess with them, that be my opinion as well.
