[QUOTE="atlman65, post: 50610, member: 14094"] Hi Guys, I actually went to a psychiatrist for symptoms of "brain fog / can't focus"; irritability; poor sleep, fatigue, anhedonia, low libido and was dignosed with adult ADHD. Started taking Adderall. This seemed to help some but amphetamines will wake anyone up. While reading an adult ADHD message board I clicked a banner ad for TRT and saw all of my symptoms as symptom of low T. Thinking "what would be more likely at age 50 -- newfound ADHD or low T"? I got tested and had the following results: Free Testosterone 4.7 ( 7.2-24) Testosterone 430 (348-1197) Estradiol 12.9 (7.6-42.6) HCT 38 Cholesterol 189 PSA 0.4 I thought I would be disqualified by testosterone of 430 but the doc said the free T is what really matters and I would be a perfect candidate. I must have high steroid binding globulin (not measured) He is starting me out on 2 doses of 250mg HCG on day 1 and 2 followed by 100mg of testosterone-cypionate on day 3 (weekly injections) (I am 5ft 11 in, 168lbs, 15% body fat, vegetarian diet) I received my first injections of HCG and testosterone in the office and I must say I have felt Euphoric which I know is something that won't last as my body acclimates (unfortunately). Also more hungry and craving more protein than I typically eat. I will get tested and have meds adjusted (including aromatase inhibitor if needed) in October. What do you guys think. Am I on the right track? Do you think most would have treated based on my low normal total T? From what I have read I am wondering if I should be doing HCG 3 x weekly and / or splitting testosterone to twice weekly. Am I being over / under treated or do you think this is a good start? Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
