[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 263260, member: 16042"] Anecdotally, I support this view. I started on 150, had problems of high T, and it was misery every time I reduced dose until new stable level. I am down to about 7.44mg/day (52mg/week) including ester weight (5.6mg/day, 39mg/week T sans ester weight). After losing weight from cancer and a bunch of complications am gaining pounds back again in remission, and getting back closer to normal in terms of physical and mental energy. Even though it is not pushing the touted "upper end of normal range" free T, to me, it is enough, and I am happy and feel healthy. In retrospect, 100mg/week and free T at the top end was not necessary. I am not against 100mg/week in cases where there are no associated high T issues. The reason I keep my dose this low is ongoing battle with HGB/HCT, which is probably more due to kidney and stem cell issues after long term anemia rather than TRT. Jury is still out on this though. Where to target based on that experience, and where I am at currently is hard to parse out, but I think 60-75mg/week would have been a better start and that even at 60mg, would have more than relieved hypogonadal symptoms from the get go, and prevented the need to go through dose reductions. The concept of having Free T at upper normal is no longer compelling to me. I feel good with free T even less than mid normal range, whereas at 3.1 pg/ml before TRT I was miserable. On current dose, 52mg/week I am so much better than when I was hypogonadal. So depends on what you want and how your body does on a given dose. If you want serious anabolic gains take more, but be aware of possible complications. If you want to just correct hypogonadism to physiological functional level, less can work great. N=1 [/QUOTE]
