[QUOTE="broker, post: 129766, member: 25926"] I never felt horrible. My libido was very low and energy somewhat low but i still worked our. Also, i expected to feel bad since my natural T production was very low from doing synthetic T. That said, when you come off therapeutic dosages of 100 mgs per week or lower, the crash isnt severe. Sure, your T levels are shut down but thats not the only issue many guys face. The BIGGEST issue is when guys take high dosages and their brain/ body become accostomed to very high levels of testosterone. This is when the bad crashes seem to happen and most have a hard time dealing with that kind of withdrawl. Since so many guys are now used to very high levels of Testosterone, even normal levels now feel like low levels. It takes a long time for the body to re adjust. It can take over 2 years for some guys. Thats why bodybuilders are very quick to embark on a life time of t replacement. Remember, of course you will feel better doing 200 mgs per week opposed to only 100 mgs but what natural 45 year old is walking around with natural T levels over 1000!!!! No one. The basic range for T levels are 350 - 850. 600 is smack in the middle of that. Some labs are higher but 350-850 seems like a realistic range for 18-70 year olds. The majority of very heathy and very active 45 year olds dont have levels of 800 either. Thats what a leading, well known urologist who specializes in androlog told me.
