[QUOTE="madman, post: 195792, member: 13851"] This says it all! 100 mg/week or 50 mg twice per week. Check TT and FT at [B]follow up and titrate dose [U]to achieve TT >600 ng/dL[/U][/B] while assessing symptoms. Yet the piss poor reference range is [B][U]240-700 ng/dL[/U][/B] from the lab where they send you for blood work! Many men will need a TT >1000 ng/dL to achieve a healthy FT level where they feel best overall regarding relief/improvement of low-t symptoms. Seeing as your [B][U]trough TT 937 ng/dL but more importantly, FT is high[/U][/B] than if you feel well overall regarding relief/improvement of low-t symptoms and blood markers are healthy then there is no need to lower your dose let alone worry about where your levels sit. Top it all off that your doctor wants to lower your T dose stating your TT/FT levels are too high yet under the [B][U]TRT DOSING [/U][/B]information it clearly states: [B]Max Dose 250 mg/week (or 125 mg twice per week).[/B] LMFAO/WTF.....rare that anyone on hormone replacement therapy would need 250 mg/week (125 mg twice per week) in order to achieve a healthy TT/FT level let alone relief/improvement of low-t symptoms. Sure some men may require a slightly higher dose than 200 mg/week (considered the high-end for trt) but far and few would need such dose. Even 200 mg/week would have most men's TT/FT/e2 levels through the roof let alone drive up one's RBCs/hemoglobin/hematocrit. [ATTACH type="full"]12915[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]12916[/ATTACH] I would look into finding a new doctor as yours is clearly out to lunch. [/QUOTE]
