Exactly what the urologist did to me - 400mg in one shot. For about 2 weeks after that, I felt horrible. Couldn't stop sweating, heart rate stayed around 100 constantly, etc. That's when I started educating myself and switched to Defy. Couldn't be happier now.

Had you recently taken Tylenol? Mine has been elevated before (it was this last blood work actually) - Tylenol is often to blame. Anytime it comes up a little high, my doc always has me retest in 2 months and it's always been normal again.

Good Evening & Happy Thanksgiving! I've been with Defy now since June or so with this protocol: Mon/Wed 500IU HCG, Tues/Fri 80mg Test Cyp, Tues/Fri 0.5mg Anastrozole / 200 DIM; then was added 5/2.5mg hydrocortisone in August because of Cortisol results. Last month the nurse reduced me to 60mg...

Your free T is pretty low compared to the very high total T. Did you get SHBG tested? In my case that was very high originally with a very low free T while total T was low normal. TRT has dropped my SHBG, my free T is upper normal, and my total T is high (but not as high as yours).

Love this post! Thank you!

I've been on 80mg Cyp x2 + 500U HCG x2 for about 10 weeks now (and was on 200mg biweekly for 4 weeks before that - was with a horrible urologist). Free went from 6.5 to 19.6 and SHBG has decreased from 80.2 to 62.4. Obviously I'm on the combo therapy, but I've been happy with the effects...

I had a f/u with Dr. Crisler on Tuesday and he told me that would be my last time with him. I too am a current patient and haven't been getting the emails. I'll check my spam filter too.

Here were the results: DHEA-S was tested, but I was already put on DHEA 25mg twice a day since that was found to be low (101 via blood test) previously. DHEA-S: 87.3 (2-23) Morning: 5.6 (3.7-9.5) Lunch: 1.7 (1.2-3.0) Evening: 0.7 (0.6-1.9) Night: 1.1 (0.4-1.0) No sleep apnea (have had...

So I was just prescribed a "test" for 2 weeks using hydrocortisone (Cortef). 5mg immediately when I wake, 5mg more if I don't feel effect. Then mid-day another 5mg, and an additional 5mg if I feel no effect. This stemmed from symptoms plus a saliva cortisol test that went morning-average...

Just saw this post - I tried it one time and that was the last. I experienced "sleep paralysis" - about an hour after taking I felt paralyzed, couldn't move, couldn't talk but I was fully awake. Lasted for a few hours and scared the crap out of me. I reported the reaction on FDA's watch site...

I just purchased Phosphatidyl Serine after reading how it can help with high nighttime cortisol levels and am going to try it. I too have suffered from insomnia and waking in the middle of the night. Ambien sometimes works, but never keeps me asleep. Still wake up around 2-3am.

Well I got the saliva cortisol tests back. AM: 5.6 (3.7-9.5) NORMAL Noon: 1.7 (1.2-3.0) LOW NORMAL Evening: 0.7 (0.6-1.9) LOW NORMAL Night: 1.1 (0.4-1.0) HIGH

Thanks for sharing!

I just had my 6 week blood work after starting a protocol with Defy of 80mg Test Cyp x2 weekly, 500u HCG x2 weekly, and 0.25mg anastrozole x2 weekly and 25mg DHEA x2 daily (after a horrible protocol with a urologist). The only other meds I take is Hyzaar 100/25 daily for systolic HBP, Flonase...

OK. I'll try that. Using the same needles.

Hi. I've been on Dr. Crisler's sub-q x2 and HCG x2 protocol now for about 5 weeks (and added Lipo-C x3 sq 2 weeks ago) without any problems until this week. The last 3 injections (.4ml T subq, 500 units HCG, and 1ml Lipo-C) I've ended up with either a large sore lump, or a huge strawberry...

Thank you Dr. Saya! Great to know.

I'm hoping for weight loss benefit too - I'd be interested in hearing if others had this effect. Just started today and was planning 1ml 3x week.

I got my order from Defy and was planning on doing it 3 times a week at 1ml as per their instructions. However, the bottle says it's only good 28 days? I'll only end up using 12 ml of the 30 ml by the end of that time. Is it really no good after 28 days?
