Feel terrible after orgasm?

[Duece12345]

Kind of weird question, I know. Since starting trt I feel awful after orgasm. Tired, brain fog, lethargic, etc. I never had this problem in the past. It will literally ruin the remaining day. What the heck!?

I don't know if this is why, could it be because of increase prolactin, after orgasms?

perhaps. Does trt increase it that much? My pre trt prolactin level was 9.6 (4.0-15.6)

No it doesn't but orgasms do.

Using data from three studies of men and women engaging in masturbation or penile-vaginal intercourse to orgasm in the laboratory, we report that for both sexes (adjusted for prolactin changes in a non-sexual control condition), the magnitude of prolactin increase following intercourse is 400% greater than that ...Aug 10, 2005

My only thought is, is trt increase your prolactin after orgasms? I haven't studied it much, so I don't really know, it was just a thought

Was your issue within the first 8 weeks of being on TRT? TRT will shutdown your bodys ability to produce its own testosterone. You can actually dip to a lower level then pre trt for a bit until youre adjusted/dialed in. Also what is your dosage and injection frequency?
