Irritability and mood swings during my first month on TRT—is this normal?
I started testosterone replacement therapy a few weeks ago and I've noticed I'm snapping at people and feeling unusually agitated. Is this adjustment phase normal, or is something off with my protocol?
Experiencing temporary irritability or mood swings during the first few weeks of TRT is relatively common as your body adjusts to shifting hormone levels and downstream changes in estradiol. This initial turbulence usually subsides once your testosterone levels stabilize on a consistent protocol. However, persistent mood volatility often signals that your dosage or injection frequency needs to be fine-tuned. At HeydayMD, our expert clinicians monitor your symptom response closely during the crucial early weeks to help you dial in a balanced protocol and keep your mood steady.
