Are there people that get on TRT and have no or very few side effects?

[QUOTE="Dano, post: 243096, member: 13474"] 53 yrs old, TRT for 6 months at 100mg, 1 weekly injection - Empower Cypionate. My side effects have been positive and in hindsight, needed for my quality of life. My skin was really dry and I had consistent dry patches around my eyes and ears and into the ear canals I thought was an outer ear infection. Now that I've stabilized on this simple protocol with nothing other than a daily whole food multi vitamin, fish oil and 25mg of Losartan(keeps my BP at 120/75 and lowers my uric acid level which was consistently at 6.0). My skin is noticeably more oily and the dry skin is completely clear. I also had frequent blepharitis and an eye doctor said my dry eye was due to decrease in oil production in the eyelid glands. That has dramatically improved and my red, dry eyes and bouts with conjunctivitis are way down. Hematocrit went from 46.8 to 50.1 and my doctor is keeping tabs on it. Hoping it has leveled off and I don't get above the level where I need to donate blood. Physical stamina is way up and I find my conditioning exercises and a recent move to our new home was easier, unloading boxes and moving furniture where my usually strong boys (ages 20 and 22) struggled, I just kept going! This weekly dose has put my trough TT levels in the high 500's and my doctor wanted to see it in the 700-800 range. His target dose is 140mg weekly and I decided to stay at the 100mgs weekly with no AI as my estrogen levels are still surprisingly low although they have climbed a little off my base line when my total T was in the 325 to 400 range. I don't really know where my peak levels end up after the weekly shot but I've been reading threads carefully here and agree more isn't always better. I feel good and want to stay that way. No hair loss, libido is way up and the oily skin side effect turned out to be a plus for me! [/QUOTE]
