Is the feeling of "well being" on TRT, dosage dependent?

[QUOTE="madman, post: 184079, member: 13851"] You are only 6 weeks in. Do understand that when starting trt hormones will be in FLUX during the weeks leading up until levels stabilize (6 weeks) top it off with the fact that your hpta will eventually shut down so as you can see there is a lot going on and it is normal to experience ups/downs during the transition. Even then once blood levels stabilize it can take 2-3 months for the body to adapt and during this time is the critical period when you should truly gauge how you feel overall regarding relief/improvement of low-t symptoms and your overall well-being. Too many make the mistake of expecting to feel all the beneficial effects of testosterone 6 weeks after starting trt or 6 weeks after tweaking their current trt protocol (increasing/decreasing) dose when in reality hormones will be in FLUX leading up until they stabilize and again it will take the body time to adapt to those new levels (2-3 months). The only way a dose increase would be needed after 6 weeks is if your testosterone levels were still too low otherwise you need to stick it out and give your body time to adapt. Seeing as you are injecting 100mg/week (50mg every 3.5 days) and your trough TT/FT still have room to come up some then you may very well need a slight dose increase but keep in mind that although your trough levels may seem less than stellar to you that your peak levels will be much higher on such protocol. Personally I would give it more time before manipulating your protocol (dose of T/injection frequency). Dopamine boost is common when starting trt or increasing the dose when tweaking a protocol but it is temporary as the body will always adapt. Many get caught up in the HONEYMOON phase when starting trt or increasing their T dose but it is short-lived. So much more than just simply dopamine as testosterones metabolites estradiol/dht are needed to experience the full spectrum of beneficial effects.
