I do take 1200 Mg of NAC a few times a week. What is a goof NAC protocol? What is the MTHFR mutation and how does one deal with it? I am actually starting to get some energy back, which is good. Went to gym yesterday and today. Still not much of a libido, but did wake up with morning wood.

I only ever got to the high 380s for total T on clomid. But even when my T was in the 700s and 800s, I never felt consistently good on TRT. I am being patient with my psychiatric treatment and then I'll wrestle with the hormone stuff if I am still symptomatic. I think I will reorder the...

Hey Fellas, Just wanted to give you an update: I just started some SSRI treatment (Lexapro 10 mg daily) and kolonopin as needed for my mental health issues. (had tried Wellbutrin and Zoloft and xanax before my TRT journey) So far, so good, but I feel pretty lethargic and my libido is pretty...

Thanks for the encouragement...so Dr. Saya got back to me (so incredibly attentive and caring!). I can stop the Clomis cold turkey b/c of the long half life. I will keep you updated about how the mental health side goes. Dr. Saya did also say that if all else fails Defy could provoide proper...

So I think I might try to titrate down (and off) the Clomid with the supervision of Dr. Saya and Defy, of course. When I bumped up to 25 mg/day about two weeks ago, after a few days I felt a bit better, but now I am feeling very low and depressed with ZERO libido. My usual problem mentally was...

Nelson, are you still on Zoloft? If not, how long did you use it? If so, how long did you start to feel a difference. I have an appt finally with a really good psychiatrist this Friday. I had tried Zoloft over a year ago (before TRT) and it didn;t really works..sides were hard for me. Then did...

Just a little update on my journey. Have been on 25Mg clomid every day for two weeks. Up from 12.5 Mg every day for about 6 weeks). To be honest, the first half week on increased dose was rough, but then I started to feel really good again. My libido was up erections were good, energy was...

As always thanks for lending your expertise to the board and to me as a patient. I totally get my options if teh Clomid does not work out for me. I guess my wife and I are leery of TRT b/c I really wasn't doing well on it. The question now is IF the Clomid doesn't work, what option do we...

Just a quick question: Can Clomid cause depression even without elevated E2 levels? Have a appt with psych next week b/c my wife and I feel an SSRI or another med (again!) might help with this. Normally I suffer from anxiety, but not really depression. The anxiety has actually not been bad...

Excellent. Thanks again for all your help. My wife and I are incredibly impressed with your level of care, sympathy, and attention. Thank you!

Thanks, Doc. That kind of makes sense to me. I'll start doing 25mg/day until our next follow up consult/bloods in 2.5 months. My wife and I have also decided I really need to give an SSRI a try again to see if it could alleviate some of the depression, etc. Thanks for you time, expertise, and...

Got blood work back just now. Really makes no sense to me. This is now after 2 months daily clomid 12.5 day and DIM and Calcium D. Glucarate Blood from Friday May 6 2015 Blood from March 28 2015 (about 2 months into clomid) (1 month into clomid) Total Test. 386 (range...

Thanks, Doc. Will do...I'm very curious to see what the numbers will show.

Thanks for the support. I just heard from my uro and the blood work won't be back for another day or so, so I'll have to wait. I was going to wait to have bloodwork in hand to send to Defy, buy I think I'll alert them now anyway to keep them in the loop.

He did pull the sensitive E2 along with some other things I asked for (I updated previous post.) I'll share when I get them. Do guys use arimidex while on Clomid if they had been feeling well and E2 wrecks it? Hopefully I can make it through the three months Dr. Saya and I agreed to do with the...
