[QUOTE="jmzwy, post: 155458, member: 24750"] I would say it’s the dose. I had these on my first Defy protocol of 160 mg per week and 500 iu’s per week. After close attention to the dosages of both over time, it is my opinion that both meds contribute to the heart palpitations you experienced. Defy has been great and they are very professional, but in my humble lay opinion after a year of therapy, studying deeply on this science, and reading thousands of posts on this forum, my feeling is they just start people way too high. Yes I had very low levels pre-therapy (500 total T and 6.5 free T), but I am very sensitive to all types of medications. I am currently on 112 mg per week broken into daily doses; I do hcg right now at 250 iu’s 2x a week on back to back days ( admittedly though I have been all over the place with hcg; this med is way tougher than testosterone to handle in my opinion). No AI and no more DHEA. I feel excellent and feel like right now I am getting all the benefits from TRT with only very minimal sides and only occasionally (irritability sometimes from HCg and have minor chest water retention). I wish Defy would start people on lower doses; when my sides started, they wanted me to add AI, some additional supplements, etc. For me, after several back and forths with Defy, I just let the side effects be my guide - lowered dose substantially until sides disappeared (sides included lots of acne, massive face and chest water retention, flushed face, heart palpitations, and moodiness). I am finally getting the benefits of TRT I believe. [/QUOTE]
