After using steroids in my younger years, I'd spent the last maybe 8 years on TRT since I had levels in the 300's and was having major ED. It had worked great, but the past year or two I started having reactions to nearly everything I take. I mean everything, Vitamin D gives me anhedonia, Magnesium gives me really bad depression, I can't drink coffee because my blood sugar crashes, can't take B-Vitamins because they give me horrible anxiety.... I was never like this, I was one of those people that usually needed to double or triple the dose of anything for it to even have effect, so I'm not sure why my body has started behaving like this.
In regards to test, my dose was 50mg split in two, and I noticed that for about 2-3 days post injection I was feeling like I was crawling out of my skin, I couldn't sit still, was very emotional and could barely function because I was completely on edge... I've never had a manic episode, but it sure felt like it, to the point where I went to the ER. I started lowering the dose, more recently getting down to 20mg twice a week, and even such a low dose is still giving me these reactions. I did also try a low dose AI, thinking it might just be an E2 issue, and daily 10mg subq injections, none of which helped at all.
I'm really not sure what to do. I've been off for three months now and no longer having these manic, anxious episodes, but obviously have absolutely no energy, can barely get out of bed, zero sex drive, zero desire for anything, and this has been the case most of the last year as those tiny 20mg doses weren't doing anything positive.
I'm curious if anyone has any insight into why my body might have suddenly started becoming so sensitive to everything? I've had no illnesses (never got the virus, nor the vax) or done anything differently, and my bloodwork is all normal. The doctor who did my bloodwork after I went to the ER, claimed it's just aging and we can't handle things the way we did when we were younger, which seems ridiculous... I'm talking a female TRT dose or a vitamin from my grocery store sending me into near insanity.
I feel like absolute garbage but there isn't much I can do, if I inject even 10mg of test the feeling is almost unbearable, but the thought of never having sex or a relationship again for the rest of my life is pretty brutal being just 40... I've gone on several dates the past year while trying to figure this out, but being pretty much asexual with no energy, and zero function down there, dating is essentially pointless.
