    TRT + Low Dose SSRI ...anyone doing this protocol?

    So from what I been reading, it seems like the accepted "microdose" of a given SSRI for the application of Selective Brain Steroidogenic Stimulants (SBSSs), is 1/10th the "usual recommended dose" (not an exact science here). So looking at the chart @readalot posted, 20mg of Citalopram (Celexa)...

    TRT + Low Dose SSRI ...anyone doing this protocol?

    Does anyone know if the lowest dose tablet of each of these two SSRI's: sertraline (Zoloft) 25mg vs escitalopram (Lexapro) 5mg are equivalent? Meaning if I were to microdose one of them, is a quarter tab Zoloft 6.25mg fairly equal to Lexapro 1.25mg? Or is Zoloft 5x stronger than Lex?

    TRT + Low Dose SSRI ...anyone doing this protocol?

    Most of us have probably seen one of the many threads by @madman which are great for explaining PSSD (Post-SSRI sexual dysfunction). However, this post targeted towards using a VERY low dose ssri for helping with allopregnenolone issues. There is an existing thread on this topic but I just...

    Prescribed TRT scrotal cream at 23

    Correct but at least you're familiar with it I see. Not even Dr Crisler or Shippen had any answers for that poison.

    It's very likely you have PFS. I suggest you also join the propciahelp forum where you may find lots of useful information. propeciahelp forum

    27G x 1/2 VS 25G x 5/8

    I'm using 30g 5/16" for sub-q and love it. IMHO 5/8" is way overkill for sub-q regardless of gauge.

    How Many Milligrams Of Testosterone Do Men Naturally Produce?

    I liked this part... Splitting a large dosage/administration of 125 mg per week into 7 administrations/micro-doses of 18 mg per day increases Free Testosterone more relative to a large weekly dosage, decreases the amount of aromatization to Estrogen occurring in the body, and maintains more...

    New to anastrazole (confusion)

    Yikes...I'll let the more expert senior members chime in on this one. But just my quick 2 cents... 1 mg Adex a week is a HUGE dose and imho not sustainable! But with not knowing all the info on this, ie labs, protocol duration, med history, etc. I do wonder about your Dr's decision on this...

    Sun Pharma Recalls Testosterone

    I actually use T Cyp from UGL. Years ago after dealing with insurance BS, I did quite a bit of DD on a few steroid forums and found the UGL brands that have the "Bro' experts" claiming it's legit. Some had product test lab reports to backup claims. My brand has a QR code on box & also a scratch...

    Are there people that get on TRT and have no or very few side effects?

    I'm starting at 16mg daily based on wanting to run steady at high end of ref scale. After 8 weeks or so, I plan to do blood work & may titrate as needed. I know many on here may do 10-12 mg daily but as we all know, no one size fits all. Hoping to have numbers like @Vince with 16mg a day...we'll...

    Are there people that get on TRT and have no or very few side effects?

    Same here. I am back on TRT (6 weeks now) and doing daily sub-q injections with the hope that my HCT remains in check. Hoping my blood work shows the results I'm hoping for.My last time on TRT I was doing 2x a week E3.5D and HCT ran high even with blood donations. Believe it or not, I actually...

    L-citrulline Another good feed back

    I just started using L-Citrulline Malate 2:1 Powder. My lord this stuff tastes horrible! I tried mixing with OJ and once with applesauce...both helped but I needed quite a bit of each to mask the horrible taste. Maybe capsules is the better option for me :/

    New Hair Loss Formulations from Empower Pharmacy

    I strongly advise anyone thinking about using finasteride in a topical should first visit propeciahelp.com and read about the recent testimonials of some members claiming to have got PFS from using the topical. Most are in the "member stories" section. If you're not familiar with "PFS" just...

    What You Need to Know About Oral Minoxidil

    So is .625 mg the recommended dose? I see on Goodrx that the generic version's lowest tablet is 2.5mg. So split into quarters...I'm guessing that's how .625 mg became the off label dose?

    Where to Buy Bacteriostatic Water?

    Help!! Mixing HCG

    They way you stated things was that you'll be injecting only 250 iu 1x a week? Extremely low dose imho. The math says you will have 20 doses of 250 iu or .25 cc mixed like that. Thats 20 weeks (5 months) (or 20 injections) off one 5,000 iu vial. I would double check the intended dose &...

    Starting Finasteride this week - here are my lab results. Anything to consider before starting?

    I hear ya...I started going bald at 18 yrs old! BUT STAY AWAY FROM Finasteride (Propecia)...you're better off shaving head, growing a goatee, and do some light tanning...and just accept it.

    Ubiquinol Oral vs Coenzyme Q10 Injection?

    I have been taking ubiquinol orally for years. From my recollection, it's the reduced form of COQ10 and better suited for older people. So I recently noticed Empower has Coenzyme Q10 Injection and has me wondering if that would be better than taking an oral supplement? If anyone can provide...

    Propranolol (Inderal) ER or XL for Anxiety...

    Turns out my Primary preferred me trying Metoprolol Tartrate. I am new to beta blockers and haven't researched much. Script is for 50mg 2x a day but he said second dose can be optional based on how I feel. So giving it a try for now.

    I have used Propranolol (from the Indian Pharmacies) for controlling anxiety when needing to do public speaking &/or work related high stress meetings. It has worked very well for me using it "on demand" and never had the option for the extended release formula. Because often these situations...

    I've been on Bupropion 300 XR for 4 months now & feel absolutely no different. (But my endocrine system has been damaged from Accutane (looooong story) so I'm not a "normal" case). However, I'm going to stay on it for now as I'm terrified to try a SSRI due to the known sexual side...

    Generic Adderall Users...

    I was recently prescribed Adderall (generic name Amphetamine/dextroamphetamine) and my Primary said within 1 day I should feel it's effects. On Day 3, I have felt zero difference. I looked into the generic brand that I was given and it is from Aurolife Pharma. The Google review on this company...

    1 month on 150mg XL + 1 week on 300mg XL and I feel zero difference. Crazy. But I am not a typical case hormonally so not sure if that has anything to do with it or not. We’ll see I guess
