Remember you will likely feel worse the first 8 weeks after changing things. For me libido is basically zero for those 8 weeks. That’s why on every thread it says wait 6-8 weeks before changing things.

Hardcore to be honest.
But i have a feeling that I enjoyed propionate way more (just after week). It’s possible?
It’s possible but if you don’t wait the full 8 weeks then you’ll never know. What if this current protocol is actually the perfect one and will have you exactly where you want but you didn’t wait long enough for it to work. How bad would that suck
May I ask for your protocol?
200mg/week IM daily shots
Thanks!
No AI no HCG?
Last question: anyone knows something about TRT and kidney stones?
I am not aware of one having anything to do with the other.

Used to use AI when I started but it caused more issues than it helped. There’s absolutely nothing worse than crashing E2. Never used HCG and it’s not recommended to use it until you get your T dialed in first.
How long You are on TRT?
About 10 years, tho not straight thru. There were a couple of years where I tried to go without it.
How was without it?
Sexual Dysfunction after paxil was severe?
Do you have normal sexual life right now if I may ask?
Sorry to bother you with that kind of questions, I am just terrified with AD side effects years after quitting and I am looking for solution that will give me somewhat normal life. Thank you!

My dick didn’t work for the year I was on Paxil. It took a little while to work after I came off. I was 16 though.
Mine didnt came back and it’s like 4 years without the drug. But I am somehow managable, some people commit suicide because of persistent effects. This shit is serious.

I hear ya bud but the answer is out there. You just have to trial and error until you find it. Don’t give up
It was a long time ago. I got on wellbutrin for a while and it helped recovery. Im 42 now and having the best sex of my life. So just hang in there. Erections and sexual enjoyment rely on more than just hormones. And the anxiety around dysfuntion has a negative feedback loop. Especially if like me you were on paxil to begin with for anxiety and depression. I know that it seems like the end of the world and its hard to focus on anything else other than ‘ahhhhh!!! my dick doesnt work!!!’ But it will get better. Just dont give up like @dextermorgan said. Keep trying things, checking off the list. Maybe you have to be on TRT with cialis. Just know there is a solution.

Almost six weeks of test cypionate. Nothing is working. Feeling worst depression in last 4 years.
Also I am afraid of testicular shrinkage which make me primary if I want to stop. I was secondary.
There are a lot of factors that go into libido and erections, of which, T and E2 are only 2. Those are the only labs ive seen you post? You are a low SHBG guy and when on TRT it goes lower. I am also low SHBG. So one thing is your doses seem high. If i go up to 140-160mg week, i feel good for a brief moment as T surges but then it goes away quickly. I have to keep it at 120/wk or lower. Also, look at back filling pathways with pregnenolone and dhea. Many forum members, myself included, report benefits. Also, if you were on Paxil for anxiety and depression…you may still be dealing with clinical anxiety and depression…which are libido and erection killers. Look at other solutions there.
What are your ranges in 120/wk?
