To Restart, or not to RestarT?

[jomamma007]

so I'm suffering from adrenal issues and just realized this. Now I'm working on recovering, but want to try a restart as I feel this was the reason behind my most of my symtpoms.
Also being 22 years old i don't want to be on trt yet.

Should I hop off and try a restart or try to fix my adrenals this year then hop off when they are fully functioning? I know injecting test can affect the adrenals, the reason dhea goes down while on trt and I don't know if I should just get off testosterone yet.

I've felt a drastic mental change since beginning trt, feeling very positive and confident (had extreme anxiety problems before), but haven't felt the physical effects.
Kinda thinking that losing that mental edge plus being physical screwed up from adrenal fatigue is a bad combo.

what is your protocol, and have you done follow up BW? if so post it all with ranges so we can see what's going on.

Everything seems great, which makes me attribute all my symptoms to adrenal problems...

40mgs twice per week, no ai, no hcg, 50mgs dhea and preg daily

not bad at all. it could be in your head, being on TRT at a young age can be concerning. however i noticed you lipids being on the low side, are you eating enough? what's your diet like? if you decide to restart you're simply going to go back to where you were, which i am sure is no better that what you're feeling now!

no test for cortisol? How do you know you're suffering with adrenal fatigue? It's cool they tested for ATCH, but you need to corresponding cortisol levels.
