    I tried DHEA and it was horrible for me- absolutely horrible. I could barely make it through the following day.

    Sleep apnea/insomnia on TRT can time fix it? advice needed

    Good question. I've been battling decreased sleep quality while on TRT for 4+ years now. I'm convinced that at certain T levels I will wake up out of a sleep cycle more easily than when off TRT. Still trying to figure it out.

    Hematocrit 57.5

    Yeah I'm new to this site and find it very informative. I have been on TRT for 4+ years and am very close to giving up. I am very appreciative of all the information that is being shared here. So no one has any studies? I am a dentist (31 years) and had always questioned the medical...

    There are several population groups that have untreated high HCT that they live with- specifically people living above 5000 ft from sea level, and those with COPD. Is there any data showing that these population groups have a higher incidence of Strokes or heart attacks, or kidney disease, or...

    “Cycling” for the sweet spot.

    This cycling thought is something I have pondered as well. I have been trying to get "dialed in" for 4+ years now, have even quit for up to 3 months only to go back on to try something else. I do notice that I can feel great for 2 weeks or so and then begin to feel crappy. I haven't tried...

    Need help with sleep management on TRT

    I tried the Magnesium and pregnenalone for a month. Did 200 mg Magnesium 100 mg pregnenalone. It was horrible. Yes I would be very tired at night and could go right back to sleep, but it made me tired the whole day! Gave up on it 2 nights ago.

    Need help with sleep management on TRT

    Wow!! This is EXACTLY what's happening with me!. Off TRT I will wake up 1 time a night to pee, sometimes 2. On TRT it will be 2+. Can never figure out how to manage it, which brought me here. Docs have thought it could be BPH, overactive bladder, Pelvic floor tension- they just don't know.

    Need help with sleep management on TRT

    Thanks for the update. Glad to hear the improvement. Where you are now with your sleep is where I had been for a while while on TRT and I personally find it inadequate - mostly the waking up 2-3 times a night. I never feel totally rested. But it's great if it works for you. Do you feel well...

    Need help with sleep management on TRT

    Any updates? I've been following this thread since my issue is very similar. I've stopped TRT at my wife's urging (am at day 15 since my last injection) and started sleeping better, but can see myself eventually missing the benefits of TRT

    Help with sleep issues

    I hear you. I’ve been trying for 4 years. I’m not even sure that the guys that are “dialed in” are truly all good. They just live with it.

    Help with sleep issues

    Fifty- you planning on going back on? Last year I went off for 3 months. I did sleep better, and I did have decent energy, but I felt my libido was lacking. I guess I could have waited it out to see if it would improve but I decided to go back on. I will also confess that I feel like the...

    Help with sleep issues

    Did you end up staying off? I am on a long vacation and my wife was complaining and begging me to stop again so I haven’t dosed in over 1.5 weeks. My sleep improved immediately and the pulse rate has dropped by nearly 10 bpm.

    Help with sleep issues

    I’ve been doing TRT under MD’s care. This is what I was titrated down to because I am so sensitive to AI and almost don’t need it
