[QUOTE="madman, post: 190075, member: 13851"] [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]with that said, and me being at 269 total t right now... even at 10mg per day, i would assume i'd jump way above that, by the time my levels settled/become stable? [/COLOR] You have 100 mg/week to decide on what dose/injection frequency and if you are dead set on injecting daily then 10-14 mg would suffice and I would go with 14 mg daily to start. [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]i just want to be in normal range for health reasons.[/COLOR] This comes down to what TT is needed to achieve a healthy FT and as I stated earlier many factors come into play (dose T, SHBG level, injection frequency, the sensitivity of the AR, polymorphism of the AR and CAG repeat length (long/short), bodyweight). Many tend to aim for getting FT levels in the high-end (physiological) and others do well running lower levels. [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]I'm going in for new labs in 8 weeks from Monday, and i'm starting my shots either this weekend or Monday... just trying to decide if i should do shallow IM in the shoulders or subq (i'm planning to do daily...i've become prone to panic/anxiety since about age 30, never had it before...could even be hormone related, honestly)... so with me prone to that, i'm not looking to feel all amped up, i currently have no problem with erections (even have morning wood at least half of the time[/COLOR] If you plan on poking daily then sub-q would have a slight advantage as far as minimizing scar tissue/trauma but most are using fixed insulin syringes 27-31G. Using a fixed (low dead space) insulin syringe will have a minimal impact on scar tissue/trauma let alone minimize waste of medication as you will be drawing/injecting using the same needle. Achieving a healthy FT level will have a positive impact on mood/overall well-being and can reduce anxiety. The exact opposite can happen when you drive FT levels too high as testosterone has a tonic effect on the CNS and can easily make one feel amped up. The goal is to find what level of FT you feel best at. [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]With me being higher on the bodyfat %[/COLOR] This is critical and needs to be addressed as you may struggle with e2 depending on how high you drive up your FT level. Much more to overall health than simply having healthy testosterone levels as thyroid/adrenal health is critical let alone overall lifestyle. Excess body fat, lack of quality sleep, excess stress, poor diet, lack of exercise can have a negative impact on the effectiveness of trt. [/QUOTE]
