Guest guest Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Hi I've been on 5mg of andro daily for three weeks, I have developed some pretty intense anxiety. Not panic but like intense worry about loved ones. Is there a chance my t level is lower than when I started or perhaps the t is being converted to estridol? I have my lab draws next week. Any info would help, thanks Shaun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Yes this happens when men are put on gels a starting dose. They need to be tested again in 2 weeks. Some men feel better when they start on this low 5 gram dose but then fall back. There brain sees the T in there blood and slows down sending the LH message to there testis to keep making T. So they can end up lower then there base levels and if the gel dose is to low for them end up with only what the gel is giving them. Now for Estradiol most Dr's don't even test this so if your levels were on the higher side adding the gel can make it go higher and you feel like your feeling.
