I haven't had any headaches, no . .

It went away for a day or two only to return again once more and finally died off 3 weeks into treatment. I never experienced adrenaline-like effects again as I continued with Stablon for another 5 years.
>Hey, when you say "adrenaline-like effect", does the sensation resemble, say, the stimulation you might get from coffee, or is it closer to panic-like anxiety?
The reason I ask is because for me it's closer to the latter, and the feeling has unfortunately been escalating over the course of my trial. Yesterday it became completely unbearable and I spent the day with my chest closed up, barely able to breathe, and feeling so fatigued that I couldn't even go for a jog.
I take it this might not be a typical reaction to Stablon, and I'm wondering if lowering cortisol might not be beneficial in my case. Maybe I'll try lowering the dose today, but I'm not sure I could last two more weeks like this; yesterday was frightening.
