Hi all...I've been on spiro since this spring and doctor upped my dose to 50 mg/day in September..and it's helped...most days I can feel the testosterone is down...I'm less depressed/anxious, less easily angered, as well as less acne/hair growth etc.

Now, twice in the last week or so, I've woken up with extreme anxiety...the kind you feel in the center of your chest and even though I have things to be stressed about, this is clearly a physical reaction, and it feels like the testosterone has spiked overnight.

The thing is, it could be some sugar I ingested the night before (ice cream, last night, chocolate milk the time before), but I am also wondering if it might have a connection to higher amounts of dairy ingested the day before? Last night, I had mozzerella sticks with dinner as well as a med. bowl of ice cream for dessert, and last time, I was out of diet soda, so had milk and chocolate milk the night before. Has anyone heard of any anxiety reactions associated with dairy products or a combination of sugar/dairy? I know that dairy also provides sugar in the form of lactose.

I am wondering if I've had this reaction the whole time, but only now, when my baseline testosterone is lower, does it become more acute and obvious?

I'm not on spiro but it might be your blood pressure,since taking spiro can cause lower bp.I sometimes get anxiety attack in the morning,I thinkit was my blood sugar since I wasn't eating anthing after 7pm.its been a week that I just eat aslice of buckwheat cake or couple of almonds before bed and I wake up fine,no shaking no anxiety.
try not to eat simple sugar before bed and also get up early and have proper breakfast.
hope this would help

I think I may have found a possible answer. it's the end of my cycle and apparently, one of the common symptoms of a common form of pms is anxiety, caused by estrogen dominance that comes from not ovulating....a possible connection to milk products could then be the estrogen compounds in cows milk adding insult to injury, so to speak, by raising the levels of estrogen compared to progesterone...just making a logical leap from what I read, and will chart it next month. My guess is that when my testosterone was higher, this reaction was not as clear because high testosterone could give a similar reaction. May have to try progest. cream next cycle.
