tl;dr: How long does it take for your body to re-adapt after stopping MtF hormone treatment? (spironolactone and estradiol)
The backstory: Been on this shit for about 8 years. I got really sick a couple months ago with a stomach flu and wasn't taking it for a few days. Went back on it at the tail end. Everything seemed fine for about a month, then I got sick with a similar thing again, and after that I ended up with some kind of post viral fatigue thing and felt really wonky and couldn't even leave the house for another month. Was pretty depressed and would miss doses of hrt consistently. Eventually found that after I would take doses, I'd feel worse soon after, and it started leading to panic attacks. I decided it wasn't worth the shit quality of life and stopped completely about 3 weeks ago. Started to recover greatly, asked my endocrinologist if it was safe to stop like that and he didn't think it would be a problem. Since stopping I've had insomnia but otherwise felt pretty good until a couple days ago. I feel like a walking contradiction. I'll be tired but twitchy and full of energy, want to sleep but spazz out. It feels like I'm getting a constant shot of adrenaline in my chest. Last night my resting heart rate shot up to 100 and I felt like I was going crazy, but it was different from a panic attack. Feel like that pretty consistently now. I cut some of my leftover spiro down to quarters and taking one seems to calm everything down for a bit. I'm figuring this is just the resurgence of T since I feel more aggressive too. Just wondering if anyone else has experience with this and how long it will last before I feel somewhat normal again. I don't give a shit about the physical regression, just want a better quality of life as either gender.

This is so bizarre that I can't tell if it's bait or you're just a freak.

I wish it was bait. At some point of going through all this illness bullshit I realized that I don't really identify with either gender fully, and that it's just easier to go with what I was given, especially since the hormones seemed to be causing problems.
I just want to get back to living some kind of life, but it's hell waiting for my body to re-sync.
