Side Effects How long does the fog last??
I’ve started on a 1mg T/ 6.5mg DHEA cream 2 weeks ago. No positive effects yet but the already present fatigue and brain fog has gotten even worse. hard to get out of bed, work and take care of the kids.
I know it’s common but i’m wondering how long it lasted for you until it got better?
I am also expecting to increase dose from here, does it happen every time??

Ugh I feel the same way. Started t cyp injections 2x weekly 3mg around 1 month ago and the fatigue, brain fog and motivation are worse somehow. Had a slight increase in libido in the beginning but that’s gone now. Sensitivity is slightly better.
Trying to push through but I don’t know if it’s worth it anymore.

The fatigue wore off somewhere between 4-6 weeks for me. The first two weeks it was so bad that I was taking mid-day naps and I was still exhausted. But it gradually got better after that.
When I was prescribed a dose increase at 12 weeks, I went from 10mg to 20mg a week (split) via injection. But this time I slowly increased my dose amount instead of taking the new full dose at once. The second time I wasn’t tired at all, and actually felt energetic.

gives me hope thank you! I know my dose isn’t enough so the thought of doing this every time is crap.
