In regard to the injection protocol, I can only attest to my nature of obsessive behaviors! Yes, I'm feeling good yet always looking to improve. Thanks for all the other input with immune system. I'll be paying more attention to this. Indeed could be just rough luck. I use "Watson" 200mg/ml test...

I'll tell you, this is the most ill I've been in the short amount of time in ages!! Of course it could be worse with more severe health issues but this is not the norm for me so my obsessive mind concluded TRT implications lol!!

Not sure if this is coincidental, time of year or perhaps TRT related but curious as to what you all may think. Started TRT on 11/17/2016 (45 y/o). After a month from starting, followed the more progressive injection schedule @ E3D 45 mg cyp IM (equates to 105 mgs E7D) with a SHBG of 39. Test...

Your in the right place here. I like the fact that you are looking for what is best for you. I'm not educated in BPH or how to overcome this along with TRT but a lot of guys here are. I've read good things about Dr. Saya. When you first started TRT, two weeks is not enough time to reap long term...

I see an endocrinologist in the N.W. suburbs of Chicago. Dr. Rvykin. She did start me on the standard fool protocol of twice monthly injections and I followed that Rx just once. I educated myself and along with this forum, I'm now cruising along at E3.5 day injection dosage. I can only recommend...

My personal experience so far with TRT has been a life changer. I suffered from low T for so long and didn't realize all the symptoms I had, could have been addressed with a better understanding of the power of the endocrine system. To educate ourselves and listen to our bodies is an...

Dr. I have had my prolactin levels tested over the years and has always come back slightly above high. My average is 17.2 with a range of 4-15. All other tests for pituitary abnormalities are negative. The only thing I "feel" is a somewhat lowered libido as in not always one to initiate sexual...

I realize this thread is older but after reading your vast array of medications for "treatments", I felt shudders down my spine. Was in the same boat you are but I abandoned ship and fast. Methadone destroyed me. Can you give suboxone a shot? Was a game changer for me and the only way I was able...

Going to lay off sex, ejaculation for a while. See where that puts me drive wise. Get prolactin re-tested and go from there. Since the TRT, I've been a freak in the bedroom, or any room for that matter

CW- In all honesty, I'm guilty of over analyzing my status which includes every little change in my body, mind and whatnot. Always looking to feel my personal best. This comes from my personality traits and being in such poor physical and mental health during my decades of addiction. Feeling...

CW- since my E2 test was the improper non-sensitive test, is it a good assumption that my estradiol is actually lower? I've read here at excelmale that the empirical number can run up to 10 units lower with a sensitive test. I am contemplating on actually raising my E2 slightly for an...

Definitely curious what estradiol is on the more accurate sensitive test. Won't know till mid February when endo runs that test. Have always been on the higher end on prolactin. Maybe just the way I'm made. Compared to where I was pre TRT, this is nothing short of life changing for me. Haven't...

Just a quick post on some basic blood test results from 1/19/17. 45 y/male. On TRT due to severe opiate abuse. Started TRT on 11/17/2016. Previous results and pre-Trt test results are posted on other threads Blood draw on Thursday afternoon prior to that evening injection. On 12/20/2016, I...

I also felt like you prior to TRT. Keep at it. You are aware of your situation and that is good. So many things in life can cause us to feel defeated. Don't give in. Things will get better. I thought I was going to live the rest of my life in a state of barely existing. The person back then...

Jds, never take anything harsh here and prefer the brutal facts. This is why I ask. For insight into every aspect of TRT. Especially in the long run. This is a changing science and because of guys like you and others, we are all in good hands imho. I'm in this for all the right reasons and feel...

So I have been doing some reading on various different forums and came across an interesting thought. From what I know, the male testes can naturally produce 6-10 mgs of testosterone daily in a pulsing fashion. Levels can fluctuate quite rapidly throughout the day and this seems to be good for...

Transit- I never did have any seizures although I felt as if I was going to at any moment. The fear, anxiety, sleeplessness, body ticks, lights and sounds when there were none, and essentially feeling like a strung out cat hanging from a ceiling were problematic for about 3 months. I could not...

Have you thought of taking a break from lifting? Giving your body some rest perhaps? With the stress and anxiety you have, add in a psychotropic medication (lexapro), a month or so of easy does it could possibly give your body and mind a nice break. Imho.

Judging from your prolactin levels, there lies a red flag. High prolactin will kill your sex drive. After sex or more specifically, ejaculation, prolactin levels rise causing men to go into the refractory period. You pretty much are done with sex and now looking for food or sleep. If your...

Went to my PCP on 1/5/17 for a nasty cough. Asked him to run only two tests to see (curiosity and peace of mind) where my current protocol of 50mg of cyp every 3.5 days IM started three weeks ago, was doing. I realize it's not a full panel and many variables are not here yet it has given me...

I have experience with addiction. This is a complex subject with many different viewpoints as you can see. I am a recovering opiate addict after 10+ years on pain pills then methadone and at the end, suboxone. After this came 2 years of benzo addiction that were initially prescribed to help...

Benzo addition and the crippling withdrawals are indeed dangerous. After my decade+ long stint on opiates, I was prescribed 2mg klonopin to help with the post accute anxiety and restless leg syndrome. Needless to say, this became another crutch for me. I got so fed up with my life and with...

Gene, you have a lot of experience with this. Some time back I took DHEA and bloated up within days. Of course I stopped taking it yet at 45, I wonder if I should try again at a lower dose and give it some time? Currently on cyp only @ 50mg every 3.5 days.

Great post and uncannily perfect timing. Been contemplating this for some time.

Never mind. Found Gene's post answering my question.

What would be the purpose to supplement with DHEA? If one is low in this area, I understand. Other than that, is there a advantage?

Best wishes. Your in the best of hands here. Fellow native Canadian born in Montreal.

Thanks for the push guys! It was a great evening. Excellent dinner, conversation and most importantly, the opportunity to see the changes in my personality overall. I have to say what a HUGE difference for me I have seen after a much better TRT protocol can make in life. I was a much better...

I had no idea of the power of DHEA until I tried it myself. Within a few days I blew up like a balloon. At the time, I wasn't as educated as I am now and didn't make the correlation. The fluctuations in E2 levels are powerful

I know this post is old but I'm glad to know I'm not the only one with a nipple fetish. A woman with big, hard nipples is sexy and erotic!
