Crazy anxiety/insomnia 1.5 weeks into trt dose test e

[chrsispy1]

I've done multiple cycles over the last 10 years that usually consist of 500 - 600 mg of test while cycling other compounds such as mast,primo,tren ECT.. Each cycle has been around 10 - 16 weeks max, with proper pct afterwards. I've felt some anxiety off and on while on cycle, but not bad. I'm having crippling anxiety and insomnia just 1.5 weeks in running 150 mg of test e per week. I'm running the same testosterone ( same supplier, same batch) I ran in my previous cycle just 6 months ago and I had no problems taking 600 mg per week. So I have no idea why this small amount (150mg per week) is causing me such anxiety.
Could it be that the smaller amount of test was converted into estrogen and now of have higher e2 and not enough testosterone? When I'm taking higher amounts I convert the same amount to estrogen but have more testosterone left over to reduce side effects?
Any input or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I've let my doctor know and his only advice is to stop using AAS. with my levels at 300 he says that's just fine for my age. He's really against using testosterone

Your doctor is an idiot, seek a new one

Stop all stimulants, caffeine, T3, ADHD meds ect
Workout more than 5 hours before bed.
More sex

Did you do this

No. I think my issue was the lack of LH and upstream hormone depletion causing anxiety. No LH means significantly lower pregnenolone and other downstream hormones like progesterone, which, if low can cause increased anxiety.

Ask your doc, whether he sits to pee.

I had the same issues early on and it turned out estrogen was too high. Lowered the test dose slightly and added a small amount of AI, and things calmed down fast.

I've had something similar happen when I first started. For sleep and anxiety, I tried using medical cannabis, which helped a bit, but everyone reacts differently. I’d check out https://releaf.co.uk/blog/what-are-the-most-common-side-effects-of-medical-cannabis if you’re curious about how it might interact with TRT or mess with your sleep more. Some strains mellowed me out, others made me paranoid—so try to track what works if you go that route.

This has nothing to do with your TRT at 10 days in on an enanthate based injection.
