Lethargy on TRT

[Tim Zane]

I have not experienced the energy levels most people get while on TRT. I actually feel worse. Random days I could fall asleep mid day and I often have to fight it. I have tried 80mg/wk up to 200 mg/wk within the last two years.

Anyone else experience this? I would really like to get my energy back. I sometimes feel like my brain is in 1st gear and can't get out of it. Kinda like a brain fog.

How does your blood work look?

Have you had your thyroid checked. The symptoms you are describing could mean you are hypothyroid. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about 6 months ago. I was very lethargic and just felt very off. I am now on 100mcg/day of levothyroxine (t4)

Never had thyroid checked. Blood work is usually good. What in the blood work would signal something that causes my symptoms?

Tell your doctor the symptoms you are experiencing and ask him to do a full thyroid panel or at least check TSH and free T4

Check your DHEA. Once I hits my 40's it's a must have for my TRT. I'm fatigue ao any dose of test without it. I take 50mg x2 daily and feel best with it in the 800s.
