[QUOTE="sammmy, post: 275093, member: 38594"] This is your time line gathered from your previous posts. Correct anything that is wrong: 1. You started TRT 8-10 years ago due to low T symptoms - sexual and body composition. My guess is that you were low normal free T, like me. You felt your symptoms drastically improved on TRT but did that continue after the initial honeymoon of 1.5 months? The honeymoon period stimulates the nervous system and everything feels better but it doesn't last. Many chase their tail later trying to reproduce the honeymoon. I am assuming your last blood test was done at trough in the morning, before you do your weekly T shot? 2. You have been taking Finasteride for hair loss in the last 20 years without problems. 3. Your doctor reduced your T dose from 0.4mL/week to 0.15mL/week. When was that? Before starting the blood pressure and statin drugs, at the same time, or after? 4. You have started blood pressure and statin drugs 1.5-1 years ago when you noticed "a disconnect with your dick". You were talking about that in December 2022 and stated then that the problem appeared in the last 6 months. Was that before the blood pressure and statin drugs or after you started taking them? 5. Have you measured recently your blood pressure at rest at home (morning after getting up and evening before going to bed) and was it high? Measuring BP at doctors office may lead to higher values - in my case 20 units higher in systolic and diastolic. All that revolves around the idea that your previous dose of TRT which was a normal starting dose might have caused higher blood pressure and that currently you don't have it, which will allow you to drop the BP medication and see if that improves your sexual functioning. 6. Did you have these "5 extra pounds" around the midsection on your previous higher dose of TRT? Can your current body composition be described as skinny with some flabbiness around the midsection? Was it like that on your previous higher dose of TRT? [/QUOTE]
