Hey Guys,
I'm hoping to get some insight here. I have been taking Test Cyp, HCG, and Anastrozole from an anti-aging clinic for 4 weeks. The only effect I have felt nocturnal erections/morning wood on 3 separate occasions. Once the first day I started the therapy, once about 2 weeks later, and once last night. From everything I have read, I really thought I would be feeling a lot better (More energy, more confidence, less anxiety, better mood, etc.) by now. Is it normal to not feel anything 4 weeks into the therapy, or could it be my low SHBG, or maybe something else? The only help I'm getting from the clinic is that I need more therapies, such as Sermorelin, Glutathione, and a bunch of other things.
Some info:
35 years old.
5'8
207 lbs
I have been experiencing the symptoms of low T for most of my adult life, if not all. Symptoms are Fatigue, low sex drive, lack of motivation, anxiety, low self-confidence.
