    The benefits of low dose T injections . . .

    I cannot take high levels. I started on once a month shot and it was a disaster. Peaks were crazy and then I would crash. Emotionally I was getting destroyed. So when I started injections Defy had me start EOD and maybe do once a week at 3 days to make it the same. I just did EOD, I learned...

    HELP - Doubts about TRT

    On 80 mg/wk I was sitting at around 180 free (240 max) and 650 total (900 max) and that is at trough. Those are pretty accurate but I will be getting new tests in a month or so. It's feeling and then figuring out what to do, go up or down. Insomina, anger/agitation, anxiety, rising estrodial...

    HELP - Doubts about TRT

    Just my two cents. Start around 50 mg/wk. Keep that for 12 weeks and then evaluate again. I started around 80 to 90 and have moved down to 53 mg/wk. It's done wonders for my anxiety. For me, too high and too low feel very similiar. Some differences but in many ways very similiar

    The benefits of low dose T injections . . .

    I am on around 53 mg/wk and started close between 80 and 90. Managed that for a year but SHBG lowered and side effects became intolerable (anger, thinking of sex 24/7, no sleep, shakiness, anxiety, brain fog). I have been on a lower dose since around Christmas and feel so much better. Energy...

    Testosterone Side Effects after one year.

    I have been on the new dose for 12 weeks. I had a bunch of dental work done so I waited until I was over that before getting new levels. Overall the new dose has been better for erections, mental clarity and I am not so tired all of the time as I was on 80 mg/wk so going down was the right...

    Testosterone Side Effects after one year.

    Short update as I am waiting for my test levels but I went down to 63 mg/wk and over time things improved well. Little bit of strange physical symptoms but seemed to stabilize. I fet a little off with sleep late last week and had bloods taken and my estrodial went up to 34 from 28 after going...

    Testosterone Side Effects after one year.

    Thank you for the information and encouragement. It is quite frustrating finding what works isn't it? I was suprised as I thought after a year I was good but then levels just went up. Even not sleeping much last night I had a short nap and feel pretty good with minimal anxiety which was...

    Testosterone Side Effects after one year.

    Thank you systemlord. Should I worry that my hemocrit is up to 50.9%? That was even after the drop in dose. Last night I just laid there and didn't get much sleep if at all. Going to take all of the meditation and such to get over the hump. At least today the naseau is better and the shakes...

    Testosterone Side Effects after one year.

    Well Guys, Here is my status: After lowering my dose 20% (test cyp) after about 5 days I was sleeping and feeling better but over time things are not going well, nausea, sleep problems, and anxiety. It has been 5 weeks with it progressively getting worse over the last 3. My choices seem to be...

    Testosterone Side Effects after one year.

    Thank you for posting that for me. I appreciate it. It was a very good read with lots of good advice. Madman had a point in there that I wish I would have known before changing my doese down 20%. I should have gone 10% and I probably wouldn't have had such a hard time during the adjustment...

    Testosterone Side Effects after one year.

    How did you decide on enanthate? Do you mind telling me your dosing frequency and levels since that is a big jump if you couldn't handle test cyp. I considered Test P since it is a shorter half life and thought maybe it is better since I maybe able to mimic normal outputs. I tried Atrevis...

    Testosterone Side Effects after one year.

    I definitely developed word recall issues when I was on 80mg/wk. found myself stumped a lot. That is better on the lower dose for sure. I found myself speaking in simpler terms to if that makes sense. I should say I believe one needs to look at blood levels and not just the amount we are...

    Testosterone Side Effects after one year.

    Hey guys, it has been 4 weeks since I lowered my dose and I have good things and then something I can only describe as a type of withdrawl. I think I should have lowered it by 10% instead of jumping to 20%. For the bad. Nausea! Felt like I was going to throw a couple of times. Just out of...

    Testosterone Side Effects after one year.

    I just got my labs back from when I was taking around 80 mg/wk. Total was 655 (300 to 890) and free was 179 (47 to 244). It's been a week since I lowered to 63 mg/wk and I skipped one dose. Sleep slowly got better and the last 2 to 3 nights it has been very deep and restfull. All the sides...
