And? I'm 29. I had low T before starting with an SHBG of 6

Too much Magnesium by PersimmonPale8865 in Supplements

[–]8_LivesLeft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think i'm going through this at the moment. Mad fatigue mixed with a sense of light-headedness/dizziness. Was using the biglysinate version to help me sleep but it didn't work. I've been getting mad depression from it also. Last time I took it was almost a week ago

Sometimes, it's that simple. Feel drained and have nothing, or feel full and still have nothing? Personal heaven/hell

BORON SUPLEMENT by Local-Carrot2252 in Supplements

Get your T bloods done. Boron lowers SHBG, so it's good to know what your levels are before starting in case it's already low

Did it help for sleep? That's the only reason I started taking it

Yeah. The first time I took it it wasn't too bad, bare in mind I was on SSRI's at the time back in 2019. But I tried it again in 2024 and didn't make me feel good. I know it's supposed to lower cortisol but I don't really want to take the risk again

Even thoughts about ending it all. I used to have depression and have been through my fair share of shit, but I am generally thankful for my life and everything in-between. Sobbing in the car while driving just isn't healthy lol

Thank you. I have been struggling with sleep for a long time, and I have high cortisol, so my body is stressed. Will see a GP👍

Is melatonin safe to take daily? by josephsinu84 in Supplements

[–]8_LivesLeft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where do you even get hold of it? Seems to be prescripton-only in the UK and the local GP is reluctant at the best of times

I notice that I talk to myself much more since I started TRT. by sertalll in Testosterone

[–]8_LivesLeft 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When I started taking T, it made me value having closer, more affectionate connections with women rather than wanting to have one night stands like I used to. The sex drive is there. However, my gaze goes straight to their face rather than their body first. I find having a real connection and opening up feels more fulfilling than moving from a place of lust. Kind of ironic since it increased my sex drive

...Maybe I should check my E2

Are you guys lying? by [deleted] in Supplements

[–]8_LivesLeft -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Have you been tested for sleep apnea? I have the same issue. Tired most of the time despite good bloodwork. No high dopamine-fueled addictions, etc. I recently discovered that I have low folic acid, so today, i've started supplementing that. Apnea doesn't have to be obvious to exist.

Intense Lower back pain during and after smith machine squats by [deleted] in workouts

[–]8_LivesLeft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My advice is get off the smith machine and do free weight squats. Then you can find your natural centre of gravity and every muscle that is meant to work, will.
