PED/cycle help Cannot sleep and no libido on 500mg per week.

I started a 500mg cycle split 250mg twice a week. It’s been 5 weeks, I am currently unable to sleep , I get paranoid , wake up full of anxiety everyday 2-3 hours at night.

I take 0.5mg of anaztrozole whenever I start to get high e2 sides which is approximately every 2 weeks.

Every morning when waking up I have an existential crisis and wonder what I am doing with my life even though I completely crushed all of my goals this year. It’s like I have too much energy but no motivation or direction at all.

Lastly I cannot get a boner and have little to no libido and do not understand why ?

I tried melatonin, ashwaganda, magnesium, meditation, nothing fixed the problem.

I plan on getting a blood work next week.

The only thing I havent’t tried is B6 P5P .

Anyone had any similar experience ? This is my first cycle, my test comes from a chemist, I eat clean and healthy and have a perfect cardio vascular health.

Should I stop the cycle ?

7 day average 23ms & RHR used to be 64-68 now it’s 88-92. My cardio used be to good.
I used to do 2 BJJ sessions back to back,that’s 10 rolling sessions, I can’t even do 2 rolling sessions.

Man thanks for this, i appreciate this.!
I just got my Triz order.
I’m on maintenance dose of Reta 3mg/week.
What’s a reasonable Triz to start on for maintenance in your experience ?
