    ...and it was a guaranteed way to induce side effects when the dose wasn't scaled down appropriately. I expect that properly-titrated buccal troches are likely to be sustainable indefinitely. The caveat is that solid research is lacking. A lingering concern I have is that they might be too...

    Need Help with First Labs Post TRT

    ...dose. @HootSnik you have lots of options. If you want to keep HPTA suppression as low as possible on TRT then try nasal gel or a buccal troche. If you want to keep going with injections then up your weekly dose and titrate fT based on dose. Given you are cautious go with an increase you...

    Maximus: Oral TRT+ (native T + enclomiphene + pregnenolone)

    As I mentioned, there's only so much you can pass through bucally/sublingually. It's a good choice for low-dose drugs like enclomiphene & pregnenolone, it's not a good choice for drugs like testosterone that requires higher dosages. Studies on bucal testosterone like Striant don't get levels...

    Empower Testosterone Troches

    This is like music to my ears. It was so disheartening how much I had to spend for even once daily at the 100mg dosage. How does the intranasal dosage compare to buccal? I get the feeling I might not need the full 20mg intranasally, too?

    Empower Testosterone Troches

    That 100 mg troche is going to give you a huge peak if you methodically do the buccal route. Swallowing the troche will do jack. Sublingual very diffficult without awallowing. Look up the references I provided you. You can always increase dosage after bloodwork should the 25 mg not provide...

    Yes administer the troche buccally. Do not swallow (as little as possible). Enclomiphene is not clomid. Wtf? Someone should know that given their post count. More reading material... https://www.excelmale.com/forum/search/674864/?q=Buccal+troche&o=date

    You did it wrong and did not have the proper instruction. If cost is issue then properly doing injections is your best best. After reading this site regularly you should do it correctly. Questions? Or stick to troches. The proper method to use those is buccal not sublingual. It takes a lot...
