question from a user
i’ve been on compounded cream for 3 weeks. twice daily to scrotum. i am having difficulty sleeping but also started thyroid. is the thyroid medication or trt causing the sleeplessness
AlphaMD's Answer
In general Testosterone helps with sleep rather than hinders it, it's one of the big benefits that we talk about with patients looking to start TRT.
It can take 7-8 weeks to totally stabilize when first starting TRT, so it may be worth waiting and seeing, but our first thought would be that the issue isn't the Testosterone.
Hyperthyroidism is known to cause insomnia, so it is possible your thyroid medication is the cause.
