Here to update what I’ve experienced so far at the dose of 1.25mg ed.
SLEEP
The 1st thing I noticed day 2 was sleep quality improved a bit. I don’t have trouble sleeping normally anyways but I do have trouble getting up and moving. I wake up around 5am during the work week. My routine is I go piss, do a quick dead hang in the doorway (helps decompress back), a few quick stretches and mobility stuff, brush my teeth, throw on some shorts and go for my run(1.5 miles). I have to really push myself to get this done, it’s so easy for my mind to say “fuck that, we working out later anyways.” But since starting Trest I’ve felt more rested and more motivated. Could be placebo effects but still kool nonetheless.
DREAMS
Wednesday night I had this weird ass dream. Lol I was basically fucking the mail lady at the mailbox?? But the weird part was she had on clown makeup lmao red hair and all. Very vivid dream. I woke up and thought to myself “did I just smash pennywise’s sister!?” Haven’t had any weird dreams since but my dreams have been kinda sexual in nature Friday and last night. Probably not important but felt like I should still add it. I wonder what my therapist would make of this lmao.
STRENGTH/GYM WORKOUTS
Nothing of note until Friday and Saturday. Felt I had more stamina those days. Started feeling like I was on go both workouts, more than usual. This could also be a placebo but maybe not. We’ll see if that continues. Friday was a leg day, and my Saturdays are speed/agility/plyo days. Felt more explosive in my cuts in cone and ladder drills. Felt I was applying more force into the ground. I haven’t noticed any obvious physique changes yet but feel if the workouts keep going the way they are I expect I might.
APPETITE
Lol idk how else to say it but I be hungry as hell now. My meal plans normally would satisfy me and I’d feel full. Now it seems like it isn’t enough. I ended up adjusting a bit.
SIDES
I’ve had no sides at this dose. Blood pressure is still normal, no signs of issues with e2 or anything. Maybe I could put the erotic urges here but lol I wouldn’t consider that a side. If it is then I don’t mind it lol.
LIBIDO
I wound say it definitely picked up a bit. I find myself thinking about sex more than I normally do. I don’t mind it but it sidetracked me Friday. I got a txt from someone I use to work with. There was attraction back then but dealing with a coworker is bad business. I caught myself lusting over her instagram for a solid 25 mins. Luckily I was working from home that day but still not something I normally do while working.
MENTALITY
Nothing really to note here yet. I’ve always been mellow and chill so there’s that. Dont know if I feel that euphoric vibe people talk about yet. I’ve read anecdotes of folks being more assertive, more confident etc etc. As far as that I haven’t been in a situation to gauge it yet. I didnt go out this weekend and my job I don’t really have to interact with a lot of folks, even when I work from the office.
Tomorrow (Monday) I will up the dosage to 2mg ed. I’ll track how I feel, note any changes and if all is well I’ll increase again the following week. Like I said I don’t plan on going any higher than 5mg, and I’ll only go to 5mg IF there’s no complications. I’m so cautious with this I debated for a few days between jumping to 1.75mg or 2mg. Overall though I’m really liking the experience so far.
