[QUOTE="TDM812, post: 129251, member: 35134"] I have been on TRT, for about 1.5 years. I was diagnosed with a low free T level of 6. I know this isn't terribly low, but it was low enough the dr. put me on 140mg of cyp a week. What he doesn't know is that, I was low because I am an endurance athlete. I don't know why, but this seems to be the norm - endurance sports cause T level to go low. Fast forward several months, I started sporadically having poor training performances. Fast forward a few more months, I came to the realization that it was most likely high estrogen, so without labs to confirm, I went online, bought liquidex, and starting dosing at .3 every third day. I don't recall how long it took to get there once I started taking it. My libido was so high it was annoying. I think I was masturbating 2 times a day. A few weeks went by, and one day I started feeling very strange. I couldn't concentrate, paranoid, etc. If I recall correctly, I missed a dose of the dex the week prior. I went to the dr., had labs ran, and my E came back at a 44 (LabCorp). My dr. was clueless, so I started adjusting things on my own. This started me down a road to destruction. It has been nearly 3 months of tinkering, and I am just as messed up today as I was then. I have had labs done several times during the process (see below). Today, I have absolutely hit rock bottom.
