[QUOTE="Avaleria, post: 63465, member: 15176"] CoastWatcher, I appreciate your honest feedback regarding my question. To answer your questions: 1. After my CT scan came back as all clear, nothing was mentioned again about my Prolactin levels. 2. As far as i know my SHBG was not measured, i believe only my total testosterone was measured. 3. This is the first i have heard about a restart protocol, so i have not done any research on this topic. I did mention to my doctor that i was concerned about the 'Roller Coaster" effects of EOW injections, but was assured that the effects are not really that bad, that it will level out, and that none of their other patients have had any complaints. I have been trying to do as much research as i can about low testosterone, to the point that my wife says that i am researching to much, and should let the doctor do what is best. I have always heard about drug addicts going from doctor to doctor looking for another prescription, and i do not want to be seen as that type of person. I really don't want to be seen as a doctor hopper, but knowing that this is more than likely a condition that i will deal with forever, i want to get on a proper protocol sooner rather than later. From what my doctor told me, they will recheck my levels after 6 weeks, once before my shot, and then 48 hours after. I do not think that i can continue to feel decent for 4-5 days, and then feel terrible until my next shot. Is there a possibly that things will get better if i continue this treatment plan, or as your said is it truly going to result in failure? My doctor prescribed my a month supply of testosterone(two 1 cc vials), from what i have read on other places of knowledge, people will advise to split that dose up, and instead of 1 cc EOW, take 0.50 cc Every week. Off label dosing is something that is frowned upon, but is that something i should consider if my doctor is unwilling to prescribe me every week injections? What i really am asking, is that should i give my doctor the benefit of the doubt and hope i can convince him, or should i look for a new specialist. And if so, what type of specialist should i see?
