I’m new to TRT. I was tested and my test level was 270. too low. I’m getting ready to start with Test E. However, i’m in the middle of a bitter custody battle. My trial is coming up in a week. The last thing I need is for my demeaner to change right before trial.
So my question is: what was your experience during your first week of TRT? I’m especially interested if you were injecting testosterone and any mood changes you experienced the first week or two.
thanks in advance
No mood changes.
So, if you jump over the stand and strangle her attorney, it’s on you. You can’t blame TRT.
No mood change for me as well in the first week. Good luck.
Never had an ‘anger’ issue, not in the first week and not in my now 6th week. In fact i really didn’t feel it kick-in, and by that i mean more energy and morning wood, until about week 3 or so.
Good luck…
I would say be very vigilant for changes. I never felt angry, but did go through periods of extreme assertiveness and supreme confidence like I had never experienced in my life. I was no doubt over-confident, and would have gotten my ass kicked if the right set of circumstances had come along at the wrong moment.
I definitely would not have wanted to be going through any kind of court battle during those first few weeks, mostly because my mood and level of assertiveness varied greatly and was unpredictable. If your estrogen spikes you might also go the other way and be a total wimp for a day or more (I experienced that side too).
For background: I was (and still am) under the care of a doctor who was injecting normal doses. No roid-like levels etc. I don’t take any other kind of drug at all (anti-depressants etc.). I am extremely healthy, with TRT being my only ongoing treatment.
I started at the end of November. My experience didn’t give any indication that you would have a problem. Actually you will probably feel better for the proceedings. I noticed differences within three days after the first shot. Minor but better.
Been there and done that with the nasty custody trial. Five day trial. Was honestly just about the worst year of my life. Just kept reminding myself that some day it would end. Godspeed Sir. I wish you luck…
No real anger issues for me but a few things worth mentioning. I’m not more angry but more willing to confront the problem when I feel I have been wronged or treated unfairly. Not out of control at all but less likely to swallow it without explaining myself when it’s appropriate. I also have had a persistent flash of irritation in the morning right after I wake up. Again, nothing drastic but just a flash in the pan first thing fairly consistently. Neither of these are near the degree that they would cause problems with a major event for me.
It was a roller coaster for me. Fucking spectacular for a week or two and then the E2 sides kicked in. Went from a bit more aggressive and alpha-maleish to and emotional bitch. My levels were bad enough before that I still wasn’t as much of an asshole, but I was a muted and unenergetic asshole before. Be careful.
I didn’t have emotional sides in the first few weeks, it was about 6 weeks in when I suspect the E2 went out of range. I did have some sleep disturbance at first, as if I was on a slight stimulant.
