Hey All,
I'll give you a break down of what was going on and the reason for the thread is that my t3 suddenly stopped having an effect on me and was wondering if any other's had this experience
Some quick background
-Been on TRT for 3 years 100 mg test prop a week
-Had low E2 in march stopped taking an AI
-Weight as of today is 192 (Dieted from 205 down to 192 March-Today) Bodyfat is around 12% down from 18-20%
-Cholesterol pre t3 back in Late March was 240-250
-Have been supplementing iron due to low ferratin 30 - copper 4-6 mg a day maybe twice to three times a week, magnesium 500-1000 mg twice-three times a week
All was well I was getting a great effect from t3 up until 3-4 weeks ago. I bumped my dose to 50 mcg and I suddenly had high e2 high cortisol high serotonin symptoms and retained a lot of water. Some theories were that I burned thru my electorlyte stores which is very plausible considering I've been dieting/exercising/sweating a lot. Now my t3 seems to have no effect at all on me.
Has or does anyone know why this is happening? I do feel slightly run down so perhaps this is a cortisol related issue? My only theory is that the big jump in t3 rose my estrogen levels and with higher cortisol the t3 isn't working like it should. Not sure what I should do from here. I want to lower my trt dose to lower estrogen but I don't have high e2 signs which I know all about since being on a high trt dose prior to reducing to 100 weekly.
thanks all!
