[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 212780, member: 38109"] Dropping to 120 mg TC per week is a step in the right direction. But keep in mind that this dose is still borderline supraphysiogical. It's providing 12 mg of testosterone per day on average. Meantime, the average healthy young man produces 6-7 mg per day. The normal production range is 3-9 mg. The forums tend to give a skewed impression of things. If you look at Xyosted, a relatively new FDA-approved product, you'll see that the starting dosage is 75 mg of testosterone enanthate per week. Based on lab work you either drop to 50 mg per week or go up to 100 mg per week. There's no higher dose. If you measured your testosterone at a pre-injection trough then be aware that peak serum levels could be as much as 50% higher. This would be pushing 1,500 ng/dL in your case. There are cases where guys feel better at higher doses. However, feeling good does not preclude possible long-term harm from running testosterone higher than is natural for your body. Here's my compilation of links related to lowering the dose: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/anyone-combine-injections-and-cream-how-do-you-feel.22766/#post-195436[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/anyone-combine-injections-and-cream-how-do-you-feel.22766/post-195136[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/anyone-combine-injections-and-cream-how-do-you-feel.22766/post-196305[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/hello-60yo-starting-trt.23181/post-198852[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/have-you-ever-decreased-your-dose.6430/post-34989[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/hello-60yo-starting-trt.23181/post-198831[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/trt-patient-feeling-better-after-lowering-my-prescribed-dose.15352/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/dose-change-side-effects.23289/post-199912[/URL] [/QUOTE]
