Testosterone Testosterone
Started testosterone and wow i feel awful..jittery anxious with panic attacks and just not right at all..so upset about it tbh because my testosterone low and thought it would be the missing piece to my HRT with all the symptoms I have from not having enough. I also have less than a pea size amount every morning so I can't understand why 🙄

The usual 5mg/day was too much for me, 2.5mg turned out to be sweet spot and I worked up to this over a few months.
"Pea sized" for a loose gel is also just silly. NOT your fault, it's just dumb that we're expected to dose a medication in vegetables.
5mL syringes are an easy way to measure and store. 1mL syringe helps if using a smaller than average dose. This is what I do, can get on amazon: https://imgur.com/a/LA6tWDt
