    Could it be my cypionate dose that's making me moody?

    Home and work life is good. I sleep as much as I can and nap. I usually sleep 7 hours Mon though Friday but a little more over the weekend. I do tend to be moody out of the blue at times. Likely from like you say negative thoughts that we sometimes dont learn to set aside. It could be trt but...

    I'm on 60 mg now split twice a week on Mondays and Fridays. My concern is will it keep a steady flow injecting on Monday after injecting two days prior which would be Friday?

    Should I up the cypionate dose?

    One thing I thought about. Spacing like I am doing now by splitting on Mondays and Fridays thats about 4 days apart however, come Fridays to Mondays it is even closer. Does that make it peak more defeating the point even if its split?

    I saw the doctor yesterday and settled for 60 weekly but split. 30 on Mondays and 30 on Fridays. I'll see how I feel with less peaks and valleys.

    Should I up the cypionate dose?

    I haven't lifted in a while because of bad neck and shoulders but I slowly want to get back easy and steady. 50mg weekly won't build muscles correct? I am not looking for an Arnold physique but tone and overall be healthy.

    Should I up the cypionate dose?

    I read Maximus but is that actually testosterone or like a supplement that helps promote your natural testosterone levels? Is it a prescription? Looks like the individual would need to get it straight from Maximus and also pay for labs. I get practically free labs with my insurance.

    Should I up the cypionate dose?

    By fatigue I mean injecting so much gets old. Today I see the doctor. I will talk about all this. I heard oral form is harsh on the liver. Is this correct?

    Should I up the cypionate dose?

    If I split the 50 twice a week what would my average daily T be having so little at a time? With 50 once a week it was around 580 in 36ish hours.

    Should I up the cypionate dose?

    I've been on cypionate for 7 years or so using 50 to 200 weekly. I feel like no matter the dose I feel about the same. Sure hematocrit and rbc have been elevated the higher the dose but I felt the same. Anyhow, in order to lower hematocrit I finally started 50 again for the last 7 months and the...

    Elevated PSA

    Elevated PSA

    I'm not. I made an appointment with a urologist. The trt doctor says maybe it's the cypionate and lowered the dose. I have no problem with that. In fact I think I'm going to stop until I get repeat labs.

    I don't know his outcome but I fear a low free with a high psa can be bad.

    Re use the individual Cypionate vials or throw away?

    I have the individual 200mg/ml vials and my dose is 70mg weekly. For awhile now I've been using over and over what is left of each vial vs throwing them away like the label says. The pharmacist told me he really can't tell me to re use them but he said as long as it looks clear and free of...

    Can an older man still build muscle while taking statins?

    Hyperlipidemia runs in my family. I've had high cholesterol since I first got tested as a teen. I was a skinny twig. In my 20s I started atorvastatin. I've been to cardiologist and carotid is fine, echo, stress test etc is fine. Recently I had a calcium deposit test and it came back as 0. With...

    Could it be my cypionate dose that's making me moody?

    I suspect what's happening my peak is 500ish within a day or so and then the remaining days I'm at the lowest until my next shot. I'll do 60 or 70 to have higher trough.

    Could it be my cypionate dose that's making me moody?

    I didn't say this med causes liver toxicity. I was referring to other oral meds. With this one no liver issues I read and yes that's good. My concern is how safe is it on the lymphatic system since that's the channel for t to be utilized.

    Could it be my cypionate dose that's making me moody?

    I may increase my dose to 60 or 70 and see how that plays out. As far as the oral med it doesn't effect the liver like other oral t meds but goes through the lymphatic system. That's scary too as we don't know how toxic it is for the lymphatic system.

    Could it be my cypionate dose that's making me moody?

    The thing is my ferritin drops and hemoglobin at a higher dose. My ferritin was as low as 12 before and now over 125. I had no energy before. Good energy now but moody more.

    Could it be my cypionate dose that's making me moody?

    Hello I've been on trt since 2017 and have always taken 150 to 100mg of cypionate weekly. The last few months or so I've been on 50 mg weekly. I settled for 50 mg because my estrogen sensitive, and ferritin ans rbc have normalized and so has my htc. When I was on a higher dose I felt better as...

    PSA increases over time on Cypionate

    Is it normal for the PSA level to go up on Cypionate? Before trt back in 2017 my level was 0.8 and it has gradually increased. My latest dose is 50 mg weekly since 5 months ago. 3/8/22= 1.82 8/16/22= 1.32 5/1/23= 1.51 2/6/24= 2.7

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
