Why do you want to cut your T3? The deiodinase type 1 enzyme is located in almost all tissues in the body, not just the liver.

See this article. http://clincalc.com/blog/2015/07/vitamin-d2-ergocalciferol-vs-d3-cholecalciferol/ The issue is that D2 just isn't absorbed as well as D3.

Ropinirole can do this for a while, especially at higher doses, of course it can come with nasty sides at those doses as well. See: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/08/style/finding-equilibrium-in-seesawing-libidos.html?_r=0

Tried it last year. Helped for a few weeks and then stopped. This is not uncommon with bupropion. Not sure if cycling it would be a valid approach.

I had a sleep study done a few years ago. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and RLS. For the sleep apnea I was prescribed an APAP machine and for the RLS I was prescribed Ropinirole. I titrated up the Ropinirole dose to about 4mg/day. I did not notice any increase in libido, most likely because I...

Yes, but that is almost all at the doses used to treat Parkinson's. The doses used in the paper I listed and the dose that I was prescribed for RLS was much lower. I did not experience any of those sides at 4mg/day.

Found this and thought it relevant in light of the buspar thread. Ropinirole for antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction. [h=3]Abstract[/b]Sexual dysfunction is a relatively common side-effect of antidepressants, occurring in approximately one-half of patients, and is associated with...

I've seen it talked about for years, but can't recall anyone who said they tried it and it worked to improve their libido.

Welcome to Excelmale. You don't mention if you are on HCG, but if you are planning on maintaining your fertility to have more kids in the future you should be.

Thanks for the responses. I was fasting for 12 hours before the test and I don't use creatine. I have always avoided creatine, even though it sounds like it could have real benefits, because my creatinine has always been high.

So for the first time in my life I had serum iron, TIBC, and % Iron saturation tested by my PCP at my last physical. Here are the results: Iron 185 range 59-158 High TIBC 323 range 250-400 % iron sat. 57 range 20-50 High I had been taking an iron supplement because if I don't my...

With all the unknowns about what the FDA is going to do, it sure takes a lot of optimism in the future of compounding pharmacies to make that kind if investment . Very impressive.

I was seeing an endo once who said he had some patients who actually preferred an every 2 week injection schedule because of the euphoric rush they would get after an injection. To each his own I guess.

A definite maybe. In my younger years I had a body temp of 98.6. Now I run about 1 to 1.5 degrees cooler and no matter how much thyroid hormone I take (within reason) it doesn't increase. So for some reason, other than thyroid hormone status, my body temperature set point is lower now.

I should clarify that of the thousands of patients my doc has treated I'm only the second one he can remember who has been a non-responder, and the other guy had Kallmann Syndrome.

I believe ERO is with Defy and I'm with one of the other top tier Docs.

Are you taking any supplements? I just took my usual evening supplements and my resting heart rate has jumped to 137BPM. I suspect it's the pregnenolone which I only started taking about a couple of months ago. This seems to be a not uncommon side effect.

Maybe and hour or two, but I don't suffer from anxiety. Yesterday I had them pretty bad and they were going on for a while so I did some meditation and tried to really relax and they went away.

I had the same reaction to Armour. Just too much T3 in there for me. I was doing OK on 50mcg Levo for several years, but this past year my TSH shot up to 4.0, even though I was taking the same brand and dose all along. Past few months I've been trying to dial in again. Seems like somewhere...

I had that feeling when I first started Androgel. Felt amazing for a few days. Sadly that was 4 years ago. I've never come close to that feeling since.

Interesting, from the WSJ article on the subject: "Many of the voided results were for calcium, estrogen and testosterone tests."

It shouldn't effect your TRT. Trazodone has very mixed results as a sleep aid. In many cases people report feeling really groggy the day after they use it.

2500IU twice a week is what fertility docs prescribe. I had a fertility doc try to prescribe that dose to me once. The dose recommended by Merck, the manufacturer of Pregnyl, is all over the place: "Selected cases of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism in males. 1. 500 to 1000 USP units 3 times a...

I wouldn't expect there to be noticeable variation on a weekly basis, but the cumulative effect over several weeks could be significant.

Pure speculation on my part but it sounds like the stimulation of red blood cell production by testosterone has an upper bound. In other words red blood cell production increases linearly with T level until some maximum is reached and then it can't go up any more. So the higher peaks of the QW...

According to this study: Pharmacokinetic Profile of Subcutaneous Testosterone Enanthate Delivered via a Novel, Prefilled Single‐Use Autoinjector: A Phase II Study The ratio of DHT to T is pretty much the same whether you do subq or IM.
