What kind of symptoms do you guys experience when you "crash"?? I am crashing way to soon after an injection (like 2 days) Extreme fatigue, foggy headed and dizziness. This doesn't seem normal. I injected last Friday; felt great on Saturday; then Sunday totally crashed. Had to leave early from work yesterday. Took half of the dosage yesterday; feel a "little" less fatigued, but still having the bad brain fog. I've got a call into my doctor to see what needs to be done. Any suggestions and curious about what "crashing" symptoms others have experienced.

most of my symptoms have been sexual.....no morning erection, no libido. But I have had times I feel fatigue. Is it possible your dose of T is too high and your estradiol is getting too high after a couple days? You T does peak in about 2 days after injection so you should not crash in 2 days, you should be at your peak. What are you injecting and what is the dose and strength of it?

Thanks Hayfarmer for responding. I appreciate all the info you give. I am taking 100 mgs a week of T cyp. I took 50 mgs yesterday and will take another 50 on Thursday. I'm not sure if what I am feeling is from hormones being out of balance or this Adrenal fatigue that I also have. In 3 weeks I go back for my 2 month followup lab. Maybe something will show up then. Just hope I can hold out until then.

I bet it's related to adrenal fatigue. Just a guess though. I don't have that (yet) and so I don't know enough about it to advise.

My thought is that if your Dr will agree, my suggestion is to have blood work done right after your injection when you feel good and then re do in a couple of days when you crash... this will give you a better pic then if you do just do one or the other.... I agree with HF....in 2 days you are most likely not crashing but your body is converting the T into some undesiable by product hormone.....

good luck...
