first day on trt,,,high anxiety,,,feel terrible...

just been put on testogel by the doc due to my test being very low,one 50mg sachet per day,a couple of days ago I tried it for the first time and felt absolutely awful,after about an hour of spreading the gel on I started grinding my teeth,then high anxiety and flushed face came on and ive had insominia since,ive not used any more of it,anyone else have similar experience when trying trt,spoke to the doc on the phone earlier he says those feelings will fade after a few days…

I started with the rub on stuff. I didn’t notice much one way or the other. I was a bit anxious but mostly due to posts here from guys what said TRT made them worse. In my case it did not make me worse unless my E2 gets out of control. You got fucked over by progesterone, right? So I can imagine you would be naturally anxious about this, in addition to the fact that most with PFS have a reduced ability to handle anxiety.

Did the doctor check your E2 as well? How is your T?

You should get on Nebido injections, the gel by all accounts is shite.
I’ve been on TRT for over 6 months now and overall it’s improved most of my PFS symptoms except for my shrinkage which I still suffer with and probably always will for the rest of my life.
I’ve had no adverse reaction to my TRT injections at all, except for a bruised arse cheek for a few days after my injection!!!

My offer is always there if you want to talk then call me. Good look Robbo, regards Paul

thanks for the reply,i wasn’t anxious about trying the gel atall,I was looking forward to it to tell the truth,i think I was expecting some surge of sexual electricity or something,and all I got was high anxiety,a red face and insomnia lol,just felt like pure shite for about a week,i react badly to things these days,yes the progesterone screwed me right up a few year back,it made all my symptoms worse and gave me a few new ones,im not sure what the doc checked for in my last lot of bloods,i usually get a print out of them but didn’t this time…

hey paul,the doc im seeing at the minute is a urologist and he was saying the same as you about how the injections would be a surge at first them they would wane towards the end and told me the gel would give me more of a balanced consistent level,i only took the one sachet of gel,i daren’t try anymore just yet,i felt like pure shite,its took me over a week to get back to normal,i seem to react badly everytime I try something,i never mentioned pfs atall to him,all I said was that all my symptoms started when I was taking finasteride years ago,i didn’t want to start spouting off about pfs as in the past when ive done that they usually look at you like your some kind of crank,he is the best doc ive seen upto now,he seems really interested in helping me instead of just telling me its in my head and heres some Viagra etc,when I mentioned to him id been taking fin he said fin is a dangerous drug and didn’t the gp who prescribed it to me warn me of the dangers etc,he said its not a drug that young men should be taking,i wish id met him around 12 year ago,anyway I might give it another try when im feeling a little better,the next plan is to see a homeopath and get my gut health checked right out and maybe go on a diet to sort it out if theres anything wrong…
