Been on TRT for a month. First I was doing daily injects of 28mg a day, to make 200mg but for no good reason I decided to do 180mg 3 times a week. Now I feel like shit. I felt way better on 200mg daily dose of 28mg. What do you guys think? Should I hop back on 28mg a day.

You are making a big mistake and need to understand the importance of what is going on when one starts trt using exogenous esterified T.

Judging by your protocol I would say you need to look into finding a new doctor.

200 mg of T/week is way too high a dose to start on and will most likely have your TT/FT/e2 levels through the roof let alone when splitting daily 28mg (198 mg/week) is a whopping dose of T.

Top it off with the fact that you have been prescribed gonadorelin which will not replace hCG and injecting such a dose 2 times weekly is pointless!

You need to post pre-trt labs and what was your SHBG?
 
A month isn't much. I changed protocols a little at ~7 weeks from once/week to twice/week to flatten the peak/trough curve ...and like you, felt like crap for a while. I've adjusted now and feel much better. I'll let others weigh in on the specifics of your protocol, but yeah I think you changed too soon and switching again will just prolong your adjustment. Stick with a protocol for 6-8 weeks and then evaluate changing it. At the beginning of the TRT journey this is doubly true. Patience is NOT my strong suit but it's required for TRT; it's a process not a light switch (though I wish it was).

I agree with Madman, 200mg per week is high. Your problem is that qith higher doses you are bumpim your hormones, specially E2 and this make us feel like trash.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

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.
