The recommended starting dosage for Jatenzo is 237 mg twice daily. The clinic trial data showed that most participant‘s needed 237 mg twice daily or higher dosages.
You need to be high normal at 4 hours, which is when labs are drawn, so that your levels don't drop too soon before your next dosage.
You haven’t posted any testosterone panel, so I’ll assume for the moment you don’t even know if your levels are higher enough to fully benefit from treatment.
Labs should have been drawn 7 days after starting Jatenzo, because steady states are achieved in 7 days at which time dosing changes if needed are done.
As for weight loss, I lost weight easily on Jatenzo without even trying. You either have low thyroid function, or are experiencing water weight which is common for the first couple of months of therapy.
Do watch your sodium intake.
It’s nice to see someone else detail their experience on Jatenzo with me being the only other person on it.
When I started Jatenzo I had a vitamin D deficiency, and no amount of testosterone increased my muscle mass, quite the opposite. That however changed very quickly after starting vitamin D supplement!
You should have at least had a vitamin and mineral panel done before starting TRT, especially iron since TRT uses up more iron stores through the creation of red blood cells.
