It’s been a wild ride since I started TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy) back in April. I’ll be honest, I didn’t know what to expect. I’d heard all the hype—more energy, better focus, improved mood—but I was skeptical. After all, I’d been on Lexapro for years to manage my anxiety, and while it helped, it also left me feeling a bit… flat. Like I was just going through the motions. But TRT? That was a whole new ballgame.

It’s hard to believe it’s been a full year since I started TRT. Time flies when you’re not constantly battling brain fog, fatigue, and the general malaise that comes with low testosterone. I’ll be honest—when I first started this journey, I didn’t know what to expect. I was hopeful, sure, but also a bit skeptical. Could a weekly injection really turn things around for me? Spoiler alert: it did, but not without a few bumps along the way.

It’s been three months since I started Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT), and I’ve got to say, it’s been a wild ride. If you’ve been following along, you’ll know I’m not one to sugarcoat things. So, let’s dive into the good, the bad, and the downright weird of adjusting to my new normal.

The Energy Boost

One of the first things I noticed was the energy boost. It’s like someone flipped a switch. I’m not talking about bouncing-off-the-walls energy, but a steady, consistent flow that keeps me going throughout the day. It’s been a game-changer, especially with two young kids running around. Sarah and Adam have more energy than a GAA team on match day, so keeping up with them has been a lot easier.
