[QUOTE="madman, post: 202143, member: 13851"] Post labs or at least reference ranges which would tell what test was done for FT. 3 weeks means nothing as hormones are in flux and it will take the body time to fully adapt to the new T levels once hormones have stabilized. Increased dopamine plays a role in the honeymoon period but is not the sole cause as AR receptors are being lit up throughout the body. Eventually, the body adapts to new levels. Whether starting trt or tweaking a current protocol (increasing/decreasing dose) patience is key. No one should be driving up their T levels further at the 6-week mark unless levels were still subpar. As long as he did not drive his FT level down too low and gave the lower dosed protocol at least 12 weeks including the time it takes for serum levels to stabilize (4-6 weeks when using TC/TE) then if he truly felt worse than it would be time to look into tweaking his protocol. Too many jump the gun at the 6-week mark tweaking their protocol left and right never giving it a fighting chance and end up chasing their tail on that never-ending merry-go-round. [/QUOTE]
