Good Morning all. I had a ruff night and wanted to vent a little plus I have a few questions and need of a little moral support. This is kind of long but like I said I am letting off a little steam.
I never had Erection problems until all this started, 1'm 37 by the way. I take 10mg Testim a day. Now in the last six months I have had several episode of ED. I 've been taking Levitra when wife and I have sex, if I dont I usually have ED. My T is up to the mid 500's but my prolactin is high (15.9). I can get an erection if I take my time and think naughty thoughts (dirty mags, and movies still really do not work for me which really sucks because they always did before).
Last night was a planned night of sex. I took my Levitra and was some what ready to go. I still get really nervous even when taking Levitra, Feels like my heart is going to jump out my chest. Wife gets upset and decides she no longer wants to have sex if I take Levitra. She says it does not feel "real" and it takes away from the experience. She is tired of planning sex. Talk about putting some added pressure on a guy to perform. Now sometimes we do have sex in the morning before the kids wake up. I seem to do OK then, T levels higher, I do not have all day to think about ect. When I think we may have sex I will have what I think is anxiety attacks all day long (increased heart rate, feels like heart will jump out of my chest, no pain though). Actually starting to feel like that as I type this and I know I am not having sex to tonight. Also it seems like I week out of the month I will feel better than the rest of the month.
Is this a bad case of performance anxiety?
If I get my prolactin back down to 2.5 to 5 and my T up to the 700's will I be horny enough that I will not have to worry about performance anxiety?
I am associating my "anxiety attacks" with sex, could they actually be something else?
When I was into my third and fourth week of Testim I actaully did not have any anxiety attacks. Acutally felt really good. All down hill since and "anxiety" is actually worse than before.
Did any was else have really bad performance anxiety they overcame once on TRT?
If no one replys thanks for letting me get this off my chest. Soemtimes it feels good just to write things down. I do have an Endo appt on May 8th.
