Hi all!!!

My Test Cyp dosage varied initially from .5ml/week to 1ml/week with 250 iu HCG every day. I've settled on .5ml/week with 250iu hcg every day.

Initial prolactin was measured at 4.8ng/ml with a range of 4-15.2ng/ml when I started TRT back in Feb 2014. Two weeks ago I got my new lab results and prolactin is at 16.3ng/ml with a range of 4-15.2ng/ml.

Three months ago dr had me start in adrenal supplements so I stopped taking my armour 45mg dose and hoped for the best. I did not notice a difference in fatigue. I was and still am sleeping through the night. At the same time my e2 levels were barely detectable so i stopped taking 1g of arimidex a week.

Going back to prolactin....something to do with dopamine and prolactin, my Dr was not comfortable giving me cabergonile. He ordered an MRI for my pituitary. At my insistence, he gave me a script for 30mg of adderall since a coworker of mine suggested I try it (he's add and talked about how adderall increases dopamine). Well, I tried adderall but in all honestly all I feel is being somewhat hyped up with more confidence.....very authoritative when I talk.

Please give me some feedback.
