TRT and Anxiety, What should i be checking?

Ill try to summarize my story/question.

So i ran a cycle of 600mg/week from march 2015 until november 2015. Did a nolva/clomid PCT, which apparently failed... (i know, stupid cycle, i was ignorant)

January i started to get anxiety, March i ended up having a severe panic attack(there was alot of stressful events occurring in my life) over being conscious of my breathing.

Checked T levels days after panic attack, and they came back at 237 (350-1200 ref range)
Started TRT and now i am at 200mg/ enanthate a week, and .25mg of Arimidex EOD.

My anxiety continued but lessened, at first i wasnt able to work or drive, now i am able to but consistently battle anxiety which i never had before, i literally carry xanax everywhere, have not taken it for months though.

I want my life back and trying everything to figure out, since being on TRT, i thought it would have something to do with my anxiety, but from what i feel, it didnt help. So heres my questions...

1.) Could i have adrenal burn out from cycling hard and long?
2.) Should i check Thyroid and cortisol levels at all?
3.) Would any of the above attribute to anxiety?

I have ordered from privatemdlabs , hormone panel for females (CBC, CMP, Total Test, Estradiol, FSH/LH) And will be taking it Thursday morning (thats my pin day) Seeing if i should add any more tests. I never had anxiety so the steroid cycle i did had to have f'ed something up, any opinions extremely appreciated.
 
Let's see what that blood work shows and go from there. You could also look into checking cortisol levels.

What does your most recent blood work while on TRT show?

Why are you taking so much adex? Do you have a very high body fat %?

Are you self treating or is your TRT doctor prescribed and monitored?
 
I have had bad anxiety in the past and some recently. The only thing that is consistent with my anxiety is the use of testosterone. I have asked around and nobody knows why I have it after seeing my labs. I know mine is in connection with injecting testosterone whether at TRT levels or higher. I still can not figure mine out. I am pretty sure if I stopped the anxiety would go away as it has in the past from stopping. I am trying to figure it out so I can continue TRT but if I can't I will try getting off TRT and seeing if that resolves it. It's really like picking your poison so I'm trying to figure it out.
 
Thank you for everyones responses. I am on doc prescribed TRT, but he doesnt believe in arimidex so i self adminster that.
Heres the blood work

7/11/16--- Testosterone, Serum 411 ref range(348-1197)
Was on 100mg a week of test cyp, for this test

Result ref range
10/26/16---- Testosterone, Serum 589 (348-1197)
Luteinizing Hormone <0.2 (1.7-8.6)
FSH, Serum 0.3 (1.5-12.4)
Estradiol <6.0 (7.6-42.6)

For the test 10/26, i have been on 200mg/week test cyp, and .25mg of Arimidex EOD.
Estradiol is gone so what should i change my dosing too? And how can my Test only be 589 when im on 200mg/week...

Im 218lbs, probably 22%BF. I have entire CBC and Metobolic panel too as well done on 10/26/16 if needed, but nothing was flagged high.

OK. So you tanked your E2. That is likely why you are feeling anxious. You are taking way too much adex. You need to back off that dose.

I am guessing your TT is 589 because you inject once per week and checked your trough levels? Please confirm.

Just curious, what is your hematocrit at? Ideally, you should post all your blood work results.
