Do you know what your TT and FT is with out being on TRT? if you aiming for TT of 400 likely better just to come off and see how things go.

I had the 1mg tabs of dox, honestly the mood part of the dox was the biggest turn off. I didn't have the ejaculatory issues on Flomax, but the .4mg would cause an orgasm to take much longer (not a good thing when TRT already increased this time as well). With splitting the capsule amount, no...

Just be beware doxazosin does not work well on demand, it has almost a day half life , also each time you use it sporadically you will constantly go through the first dose effect. I started using flomax , the .4 mg was a little to much. So i empty half the capsule in mouth. So i basically take...

Yeah give it a try, with that BP as you know yourself is not good longterm. Always give a med a 30 day run as some side effects disappear or lessen during that time frame. I got some sinus issues from it in the beginning but went away.You likely will get started at 150mg , but you can always...

I get where you’re coming from, but I will say with the irbesartan I really have no side effects, but will say it has boosted erection quality for sure. Likely due to its affect on nitric oxide. I honestly did not like my resting bp in the 140s, if it was in the 130s I may have not tried any...

I will chime in on the BP issues (pre treated 140s/85-90, I started out with Losartan , barely worked at 100mg Dose, BP was 130/85 on it. It gave me anxiety\depression. Switched to Valsartan 160MG worked great for BP 120s/70s, caused servere muscle\bone pain. Then moved to irbesartan 150MG...

Yeah I think the excess DHT maybe counter acting or lowering my E2, I just stopped using it as of now, probably give in a 3-4 weeks then try the cream somewhere else. Or I was thinking maybe EOD on the scrotum since the skin acts as a reservoir any way.

Honestly my Doc suggested it from having other patients having good comments on the protocol.

Total T 836mg/dl. 250-1100 Free T 199 pg/ml. 35-155 These are not far off from the 14mg I was doing. The only thing that is way off from any other labs is DHT , I had that tested a year ago and was 54ng/dl, so I didn't know if the high DHT apposes E2? The joint\tendonitis like pain...

So I actually have notice a tighter penis and erection issues after I added a small dose of T cream….so I’m curious if it was the higher dht or possibly the dht causing lower E2 https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/test-cream-on-scrotum-and-dht.27268/

So my doc let me change my protocol, I dropped down to 12mg a day , and apply 1 click of test cream which is 12.5mg to the scrotum area. My DHT came back way over range, My TT and FT are about the same as doing 14mg daily that I was doing. The only thing is erection quality went down the drain...

At 9MG EOD day do you have bloods to see what your levels are at? Actually looking at your past post you have change doses so many times in your 8-9 weeks of TRT.....First get bloods on the same protocol that last at least 4 weeks , but 6 weeks recommended. You sometimes need to ride out side...

On once weekly shots your testosterone goes way up and then down hill from there. The high testosterone spike then cause other hormone spikes and nuerotransmitter spikes as well. With all the different fluctuations your body can not reach balance. Some people do fine on weekly injections, some...

Back on topic….lol. Appears from the small pilot vote ….more trt users feel better with higher free T.

You went from 10mg daily to 100mg every 5 days.....Thats the same as doing 20mg daily, that's a very big increase in dose. you need to ride out changes for 6-8 weeks, but if you were tired of daily maybe go to every other day or 3.5. Again gradually increase dose, you doubled dose....would make...

It’s a range they made up for their purpose, same as labcorp. There is no standards. That’s the biggest problem with free T , hence why we are here seeing what ranges people do best in or arguing what is to high or low…lol

Could be True, the problem is most of us don't know our levels when we were young and had no issues......only until we had problems\aged and then tested.

This could be be, My BP was high before TRT well 130s/85-90.....I take Losartan 50MG for like the last 11 years and it pretty much keeps it around normal 120s/70-80....In terms hematocrit no where near even being close to over range.

So far it appear more people feel better above range .......but then again the ranges are problem. On the quest lab I'm over range buy a lot, but from the calculators I'm in the 20's to little over 30 depending on which one.

what were your labs like on 25MG Daily, I tried 10mg, 12mg , and 14mg Daily....doing pretty good at 14mg.....I debated at trying 16mg Dally , I also did try backing down to the previous dosages again but never felt has good as the 14MG.

madman said: Better get your s**t str8 over there on bumNATION! I didn't know what that meant either...lol

I don't think we are optimizing anything, the guy is just looking for a poll on where most TRT users keep their free T where they feel their best.

Completely get what your saying there, but he is suggesting 20ng/dl in to the 30's, if I go by the Vermeulen I'm at 22.2 ng/dL on my recent bloodwork.

From reading a lot of posts on here , you seem to lab rat a lot of substances on yourself, have you ever just tried T alone and road out certain dosages for 8-10 weeks each dosage change? possible you will do better with just a higher free T range.

Also for what its worth madman on here stated optimal free T is in the 30ng/dl range https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/optimal-free-testosterone-level.20653/ On another post he stated 20-30ng/dl The biggest problem with Free T is seems, there are to many ways to measure via different lab...

if your talking 9-15ng/dl......I am almost sure not to many members on here is keeping their free T in the 9-15ng/dl range, most would have never needed to start TRT

from my post , I feel better at slightly above. hello-trt-for-9-years-and-questions-on-free-t.26265

@madman thanks for the reply....I been at this awhile though so I have done my trials with doses and frequency. So I just don't understand why when I was on 12mg my free T was 151pg/ml and on 10mg was 112pg/ml (all the same quest test), but I feel way better mentally , energy wise, and sexual...

So I got a email that someone replied, but does not show up here? Any way my question that reply is what about the quest results for free T? Systemlord replied to a thread you are watching at Excel Male TRT Forum. Hello, TRT for 9 years and questions on free T SS1LE said: So the whole Free T...

Hello, I have been on TRT for 9 years, I have done it all once weekly, twice weekly , EOD , and daily injections. Im currently been settled in on the dose of 14MG Daily of Test E. No other meds involved in terms of TRT. My recent labs from Quest Total T 881ng/dl LCMS Free T 249.9pg/ml...
