[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 83819, member: 16042"] Thanks ratbag. I am not micromanaging myself, just trying to be well informed going into next consult with Dr Saya. I think he qualifies as "proper HRT specialist". My thoughts and questions about switching to T cyp are based on being on cream then gel since December and never reaching the kinds of total and free T levels you refer to. Seems a common thing and often reason for guys switching to injection. I don't know whether taking a daily bath in gel is a next reasonable step. I know things are not linear, but I do question if redoubling gel would be effective or just further increase the DHT without adequate Total and free T increases. I am not worried about the DHT, really that's not the issue. I am concerned about achieving worthwhile Total and free T P.S. I am grateful to have a long term bias against anti depressants despite admonishment from wife and a few others, and having had some pretty good psych care from docs who never did suggest meds. At this point, with current HRT, I am doing better psychologically, though not all better. I think ongoing adjustment of T, DHEA, and hopefully some appropriate thyroid treatment may even things out even more. Definitely going to ride these other hormonal treatment adjustments out for a good while before considering any psych drugs. [/QUOTE]
