[QUOTE="CoronaCA, post: 16515, member: 4115"] Hello everyone, this will be my first post, but I do not know where else to turn. Long story short, I started TRT a little over two years ago. Prior to my current job, I had a PPO and visited the Low T Center for all my care. They listened, they tested, they treated. I am now stuck with an HMO and am not getting the same level of care. For almost two years my regimen has been testosterone cypionate @140mg weekly. -I started with a new endocrinologist and he adjusted my dosage to 150mg weekly, because they couldn't draw 140mg. -3 months later, testing. Was out of range for his testosterone testing, lowered my dosing to 125mg weekly. I started feeling tired, more moody, a little off on day 6 & 7. BUT I could survive. -1 month later, testing. Was in range for everything. However, the FDA issued a warning on clotting and testosterone and forced it on the label. Lowered dosing to 100mg weekly. This is my second week into that and I cannot survive. I'm anxious, I cannot sleep, I have no energy, no sex drive, cannot think straight, and can say that I'm depressed... The only time that I am not is on day 2-4. [B]What can I do to crash my testosterone levels for my next blood work test.
