Lowering Testosterone Dose

[DixieWrecked]

I know this topic has been rammed down our stubborn faces again and again by @madman. I was hoping to get experiences of guys that started on a higher dose, felt unwell, and then lowered their dose and are now doing much better. What side effects told them to lower their dose? This video is fantastic and I admit it sounds almost exactly like me.

In the quest of finding the right protocol, I have tried various things. I have on a few occasions pushed my levels way too high accidentally. The first time was with Xyosted. Over the course of a few months, I think the peaks and troughs gradually elevated to the point that I start feeling anxious.

However, I think the biggest and most dangerous culprit is the topical compound cream I’ve used. I have tried various doses, locations and times of application. No matter how I do it, it tends to bring me way over the top. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to tolerate it long enough to get labs while I felt that way.

The symptoms I typically felt were heart palpitations, generalized tachycardia, anxiety, insomnia and a sense of doom, if that makes sense. Probably the worst feeling is the anxiety.

In case anyone hasn't seen this compilation of relevant anecdotes:

Anyone combine injections and cream? How do you feel?

I’m a long term TRT patient, 39 years old. I’ve been on cypionate and inject a total of 154mg weekly in EOD subQ shots of 44mg each. I have been doing some thinking about the potential benefit of keeping dosing the same but experimenting with using a low cypionate base around 80-100mg weekly...

Have you ever DECREASED your dose?

Hey guys. I've only been on TRT for about 9 months. I'm on Test Cyp 100 mg Q3.5d with 350iU of HCG IM. I recently (this week) lowered my Anastrozole from 0.5 mg on injection days to 0.25mg to see how it will effect me (side effects, changes in libido, and also then lab values). ****I'm happy...

TRT patient feeling better after lowering my prescribed dose

Hey Guys, Hope all's well and Happy 4th! I'm looking for feedback. As a young male battling ED and low T, hopefully sharing my experience on what worked helps someone too. Almost 32 now and I use to have severe ED as long as I can remember, maybe late teens. No clue on cause. Maybe it's...

Dose Change Side Effects

Hi guys, I just switched to a daily protocol of 24mg after spending a few weeks on 100mg E3D. This E3D protocol kicked the shit out of me, I dont think I respond well to having so much T at one time. The anxiety and thoughts were nightmarish plus the lethagy is real. Is there anything that...
