So I was on a TRT dose of 210 mg/week for 4 weeks, then bumped up to 400 in weeks 5 and 6. I was using an AI sporadically weeks 1-4 (Roughly 0.25 mg anastrozole EOD).
In weeks 5 and 6, I didn't use any anastrozole (figured since I wasn't having nipple itching, it wasn't necessary).
Well, I've been having some super bad insomnia lately where I wake up too early. Like around 3-4 A.M. I feel warm even though my room is like 60 degrees. Also no morning wood, some chest acne, and I've been putting on 2 lbs on the scale each week despite a low calorie surplus (~200 per day)
I got bloodwork done yesterday to confirm my suspicion, but I think I'm experiencing high E2 so I decided to take 0.5 mg anastrozole yesterday and will take 0.25 EOD going forwards.
Is there anybody else that's experienced this same sort of insomnia?
For reference, I already take Melatonin (6mg), 5HTP (50 mg), Magnesium, GABA, Ashwaghanda, pregnenolone (100 mg) and DHEA (50 mg) before bed. I'm out of ideas and would like some input from you guys.
