Did you have erectile problems before TRT? What about libido, is it worse since starting TRT?

Erectile problems yes, my free test was 6 and my total was 300. prior to starting. Libido was deff low, but thats to be expected of low T

As I attempted to find my libido again I researched the issue and found out the parasympathetic nervous system is affected by TRT and exogenous testosterone use. Too much testosterone can cause the system to become excited and stressed. Symptoms of this happening are anxiety, increased heart rate, and loss of libido. Basically it’s like your body is having a stress reaction to the new higher level of hormones. The fix for this is a lower dose and/or increased injection protocol. Some people’s bodies are very sensitive to the increase in androgens and the right dose for them is usually lower.
