Afternoon energy crashes and low motivation on TRT—what should I discuss?

Asked in r/trt · Answered by the HeydayMD team ·

I feel dialed in during the morning, but my motivation and drive completely tank by mid-afternoon. What should I review with my prescriber to fix this?

The short answer

Afternoon slumps and drops in drive while on testosterone replacement therapy can stem from a variety of daily factors, including injection frequency, sleep patterns, or metabolic rhythms. When reviewing these patterns with your prescriber, it helps to bring a detailed timeline of when your energy peaks and drops throughout the day. Your clinician can evaluate your ongoing protocol and laboratory results to see if protocol adjustments are appropriate. Maintaining open dialogue with your care team ensures your treatment remains optimized for how you feel day-to-day.
