[QUOTE="madman, post: 98546, member: 13851"] The main reasons dosages vary on trt are it depends on what dosage is needed for one to attain relief of low t symptoms whether one needs to be in the mid/normal range of physiological levels or the high/normal range to experience relief. On average most patients usually require any where from 100-150 mg/week......................sure 200 mg/week is not needed by most and would put most into the supra-physiological range (peak and trough) but there are some who require this higher dosage to reach high/normal levels (higher shbg men). Ones shbg levels also play a role and of course ones sensitivity of the AR (androgen receptor). As far as treating patients like body builders if you are talking 250+/week than maybe but I would not say prescribing a patient 200 mg/week is a body builder dose..........mind you it is hefty trt dose and most would not need that to attain healthy physiological testosterone levels. You may be right in a sense that many people on trt tend to run higher testosterone levels than are truly needed. I would say the least amount of testosterone one needs to experience relief of low t symptoms should be the goal as excess is not needed and we do know issues with excess e2 and hematocrit/hemoglobin can be problematic for many let alone negative effects on other health markers! Sure these can be controlled with the use of aromatase inhibitors and phlebotomy but I would prefer to avoid those routes if possible. I am with Nelson regarding the over use of a.i. and believe estrogen is critical to ones overall benefits regarding trt. I think many suffer negatively because they manipulate there e2 too much whether too low/high especially when they are not experiencing any side effects and are just chasing a number. [/QUOTE]
