[QUOTE="CanadaJim, post: 201216, member: 41384"] I was in the same position. At 50 I was feeling sluggish, low energy, low libido. Been a gym rat since my early 20's. Never used anything other than over the counter supps. When I had blood work done, my doc at the time used the words "low normal" with regards to my test levels. This hit home as it seemed to address my physical and mental symptoms. I wasn't in the range for prescribed treatment though. So I took matters in to my own hands. Ordered some test-e online. Researched what a proper cruise trt dose would be as i was not interested in a "blast". I injected and I have to say I felt amazing for a few months (more like 6 weeks) libido up, energy up, clarity. I was injecting every 2 weeks at first. After the third injection I started to feel, for lack of a better word...shitty. No energy, bloat, brain fog, skin rash, no libido etc. I lowered the dose, then tried the twice weekly injection schedule, still no improvement. I eventually just stopped. The cons were outweighing the pro's. I have had blood work done a few times since stopping and things appear to have somewhat returned to homeostasis. I do miss the initial feeling of the test as it did make me feel 20 years younger. But the hormonal imbalance it eventually caused was not worth it to continue. I wish it was possible to "top up" testosterone levels without actually shutting the whole system down. [/QUOTE]
