I feel like I’ve hit a wall and I’m completely out of options. It’s a constant battle between my health and my sanity. If I use any kind of GLP, I’m dealing with non-stop hypoglycemia, but if I stay off them, my appetite is literally bottomless. I’m not just talking about being a bit hungry - I can put away 4,000 calories of plain rice, beef, and veggies and still feel like I’m starving to death.
On top of that, my hair is thinning and receding like crazy. I tried taking Dutasteride for it, but it makes me feel anxious and just plain horrible 24/7. It seems like every "fix" has a side effect that ruins me. When I let my estrogen run high, I actually feel great mentally, but I blow up with water retention and look like a buffalo - yet the second I touch an AI, I feel like absolute trash.
I’m just stuck in this cycle of being hungry, irritable, and losing my hair. I’ve genuinely never felt this close to just giving up on everything because nothing is working. I just don't know how much more I can take.
man i feel this in my soul. it’s like every time u fix one thing, two more problems pop up. the "bottomless pit" appetite is the worst part because it makes u feel like a slave to the kitchen. hang in there bro, you aren't alone in this.
honestly the glp hypoglycemia is scary stuff. have u tried splitting your doses into tiny micro-injections every day instead of one big weekly shot? it might keep your blood sugar more stable so u don't crash but still get the appetite help.
that buffalo look from high estrogen is the worst lol. i get the same thing- face gets round as a basketball but i feel like a god. have u tried just a tiny bit of primo or mast instead of a real ai? it might lower your e2 just enough without making u feel like trash.
i had to stop dutasteride for the same reason man. the brain fog and anxiety were not worth the hair. i switched to a topical version and it’s way easier on the head - might be worth a shot if u still want to save the hairline.
4k calories of "clean" food and still being hungry is a nightmare. it sounds like your leptin/ghrelin is just totally fried. maybe try a "reset" where u just eat at maintenance for a month and dont touch any gear or glps?
i know it feels like nothing is working but dont give up yet. maybe your body just needs a break from all the "fixes." sometimes we throw so much at our systems that they just start redlining in every direction.
man i am so sorry youre going through it like this. the "bottomless pit" hunger is a special kind of hell and people who havent felt it just dont get it. have you tried smaller doses of the glp but more often? maybe that would keep the hypo from hitting so hard. hang in there though dont give up yet.
the buffalo look vs feeling like trash on an AI is literally the story of my life lol. i finally just accepted some water retention because the low estrogen depression was way worse. for the hair thing maybe look into topical fin instead of the oral dutasteride? i heard it has way less mental side effects for some guys.
bro the hypoglycemia on glps is no joke. i had to carry glucose tabs everywhere for a while. i found that if i ate more fats it actually helped stabilize things way better than just high protein/carb. really hope you find a balance soon because being "starving" 24/7 is enough to make anyone lose their mind.
honestly sounds like your hormones are just redlining in every direction. maybe it’s time to just drop everything back to a true TRT cruise for a few months? just give your brain and your blood sugar a chance to reset. the hair and the hunger are probably way worse because your body is stressed to the max right now.
damn this sounds exhausting. sending some good vibes your way man. i know it feels like a dead end but maybe there’s a middle ground with the estrogen? like just a tiny dose of aromasin instead of a full pill. sometimes "less is more" when you’re sensitive to every single med like that.
