    How to discuss TRT dosage adjustments with doctor?

    Thanks @madman, that seems like prudent advice. I did get bloodwork on Friday (at trough) and will be getting results back on Tuesday, so I should have more information about my testosterone/E2/hematocrit levels then. Since I have the flexibility to dose at my own schedule, would an EOD or even...

    How to discuss TRT dosage adjustments with doctor?

    I mentioned the energy dip around 3 days to my doctor, and he prescribed a vial of Test-Cypionate and said I can step my dosage up slowly to 100mg E3.5D as long as I don’t experience any negative side effects. He also said he’ll be monitoring my estrogen levels to see if I need to be put on an...

    How to discuss TRT dosage adjustments with doctor?

    Hey folks, I’ve been on 100mg/wk Test-Cyp TRT for 6 weeks now. No side effects thus far, other than one mild case of acne breakout and skin greasiness (probably more to do with it being time to wash pillowcases and sheets). Today I’ve got an appointment with my TRT doctor to check in, get...

    4 weeks into TRT, feeling worse/mood crashes.

    Awesome. That worked. A little bit dripped out of the end of the new syringe while I was reinserting the plunger, but I still got just a tiny bit less than half a dose. Hopefully that will make the next two weeks more manageable.

    4 weeks into TRT, feeling worse/mood crashes.

    Sadly, my clinic gave me prefilled syringes... I’ve got 2 weeks until I go back in for new labs and a refill. I’ll try to stick it out until then and ask if I can get vials so I can inject twice a week. Is there a way to get the test out of the syringe into another syringe so I can inject 2x/wk?

    4 weeks into TRT, feeling worse/mood crashes.

    Hey folks, I’ve been on 100mg Test-C 1x/wk for 4 weeks now. For the first 2-3 weeks I was feeling great overall, sense of wellbeing was way up, energetic, more motivated in the gym... just really doing well. The last couple of days have been... not that. I take my Test-C Thursday evening or...

    New member introduction, and asking for advice.

    I started on bupropion extended release 150mg (Wellbutrin XL) daily at the same time that I got my blood panel. I also take methylphenidate ER 30mg (Ritalin ER) 5x/week for ADHD, only when I’m at work. I’ve been taking the methylphenidate for several years now.

    I’m not sure where those specific values are at, actually. My glucose was at 91mg/dL a couple hours after eating lunch when I got my other blood panels done, which is at the higher end of things. I’m at 216 lbs morning weight right now, having dropped about 10lbs in the last 3 weeks by cutting...

    I should probably drink more water, that’s a great point. I only drink about 64oz/day. I alternate upper and lower-body workout days... so my upper-body day is my lower-body rest day, and vice-versa. Is that actually counterproductive? Should I have a dedicated cardio day for recovery?

    New member introduction, and asking for advice.

    Hi folks, I’m a 24 year old male who was recently placed on TRT after dealing with moderate to severe depression, lack of energy, and difficulty with weight loss and muscle gain despite working out regularly. I’m taking 100mg Test-Cyprionate once weekly - I had to argue with my doctor against...
