[QUOTE="CanadaJim, post: 218569, member: 41384"] Also FWIW...I recently stopped self prescribed TRT. I have also been off and on over the last 2-3 years. My symptoms were pretty much the same as yours. I felt great initially after starting weekly injections (75mg) but it waned off and the negatives seemed to outweigh the positives. I did try tweaking the dosages and injection frequencies but nothing seemed to help. My first few stops were "cold turkey". But the withdrawal and shitty feeling weighed in on my decision to start up again. This time I purchased some Clomid and started taking 12.5mg daily a week after my last injection. I upped it to 25mg daily from week 2 and so on. I can tell you that it has made a big difference so far. I know some guys have reported very negative side effects with Clomid but that hasn't been my case at all. I think the side effects may be associated with higher doses (100mg daily) as that is the indicated dose in some PCT protocols. Libido is not where I'd like it but for the most part I feel much better this time then when i tried to stop cold turkey in the past. My "boys" feel like they are back in action (as is the desired effect of Clomid). I plan on continuing this protocol for at least another month. I have blood work coming up in the next few months and plan on coming off Clomid long enough beforehand as to have my overall levels back to my my natural baseline. Anyway, just giving my 2 cents.
