[QUOTE="mobear, post: 184562, member: 41001"] Hey folks, I’ve been on 100mg/wk Test-Cyp TRT for 6 weeks now. No side effects thus far, other than one mild case of acne breakout and skin greasiness (probably more to do with it being time to wash pillowcases and sheets). Today I’ve got an appointment with my TRT doctor to check in, get bloodwork, and refill my prescription. How do I discuss adjusting my dosage? I’ve been experiencing a “yo-yo” effect with this dosage and schedule, and the effect got much worse about 4 weeks in. The first 2-3 days after my shot, I feel solid - confident, normal libido, good lifts in the gym, better sleep. The next 3-4 days, I start feeling more and more depressed, less energetic, and by the 7th day, I feel like complete crap - just as bad or worse than before I started TRT and Wellbutrin. I’ve been logging these swings in mood/energy in a journal on my phone. How do I express these concerns to my doctor in a way that doesn’t come off as demanding? I genuinely feel that I’d feel much better taking this same dose of testosterone at every 3.5 days instead of every 7 days. It’s like I’m running out of fuel before I get to the next dose. [/QUOTE]
