[QUOTE="carkrazy, post: 114616, member: 18853"] Hello, I'm new to the site and not very familiar with all the forum etiquette so please bare with me. I'm 48 years old and started TRT 1 year ago after my T levels came back at 201. As you can imagine i felt like shit and decided to start treatment. A friend referred me to a local men's hormone replacement clinic. I thought man this is great.. everything included. meds, blood work the works for a reasonable monthly fee. What i didn't anticipate was the roller coaster i've been on for the past year. I was initially given 200mg of test cyp per week but the weird thing was that .5 mg of anastrozole was compounded into the testosterone and i was also given hcg 2 times per week. i felt terrible on this protocol and eventually gave up with them after 4 months due to the severe joint pain high anxiety and low libido. test was 1100 and sensitive e2 was 18. they didnt check much. I began to do my homework and found one of the most respected TRT doctors in West Palm Beach, Florida. I won't mention his name because I'm not that kind of person. I was excited knowing that i was dealing with one of the best according to many many people on different forums. Once i started, i was given every medication known to man well, not really but i was started off with 200 mg of test cyp 1xweek, .25mg of anastrozole day3 and 6 post injection, 500mg of metformin 2x per day and some thyroid medication called cytomel. With this protocol my anxiety was so bad it was disrupting my daily life and the joint pain is horrible. Little by little i would eliminate meds with doctors approval and eventually wound up at 140mg of test cyp 1xper week and .25mg anastrozole 2x per week. things got better but I think i honestly felt better Pre TRT. On this protocol my test is 550, free test 127, sensitive e2 is 25, shbg 14. After 6 months of changing this and changing that i stopped going to the second doctor. I'm going to give this one more try with my primary Doctor who is very open and willing to work with me and how i'm feeling. I just started 50mg of test cyp every 3.5 days. no anastrozole for now (that stuff is poison) im hoping i wont need it. I will test my e2 in 4-6 weeks to make sure e2 is in check.
