Big Prolactin Increase

Yeah I'm just the opposite. I love the higher free T levels. Plus I supplement with zinc plus. it's great for your health. And I do supplement with a good B complex which I get my levels checked regularly.
How much zinc do you take and do you take it every day?
 
The higher the T, estradiol and DHT, the better the sex drive in this study of older men on Androgel. No hormone works alone.


I would not mess with Cabergoline. It can crash your prolactin and has negative effects on dopamine in the long term.

A prolactin of 18 is not high. Prolactin is highly variable day to day.

But wouldn't whether 18 is high or not be relative to my natural number? It's 2.5 times what my level was prior to TRT and technically out of range.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
