[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 254751, member: 38109"] With those numbers I would not start TRT. Negative! That 14-16 ng/dL is right in the middle of the healthy normal range for Vermeulen calculated free testosterone. It would be foolish to start TRT with such robust free testosterone. Many of the guys claiming to feel better at 25-30 ng/dL have not even spent significant time at physiological levels. What newcomers fail to appreciate is that TRT can be quite disruptive, affecting many hormones and systems. When a guy already has normal testosterone, starting TRT fails the cost-benefit analysis in my opinion. You have other options. If you're determined to see if higher testosterone does anything for you then try a fast acting form, such as nasal gel or troches. Because these provide relatively short bursts of testosterone they have less impact on natural production and other hormones. The symptoms you describe can also relate to neurotransmitters, and dopamine in particular. You might experiment with supplements and medications that boost dopamine, etc. [/QUOTE]
