[QUOTE="madman, post: 198207, member: 13851"] Most definitely as you and I both very well know that one could easily lower the dose much more and still have a healthy FT level let alone may very well feel just as good. I know he prefers to run his levels on the higher end. Unfortunately, most would never settle for running average T levels. The herd mentality that absurdly high T levels are needed to experience the beneficial effects is commonplace. Misinformation littered on the internet (forums/gootube)! Run of the mill T-clinics jacking patients up on T from the get-go. Even many of the doctors in the know aim for higher-end T levels but in most cases within reason. The misinformed tend to push for the absurdly high TT/FT levels thinking that higher T equates to stellar mood, bounds of energy, raging libido, rock-hard erections 24/7 let alone will have them packing on muscle in the gym with wolverine like recovery. The worst part of it is that many have no clue how things work when using exogenous testosterone. [B]*This should be hammered into every patient's head before starting trt or tweaking a protocol (dose T/injection frequency).[/B] Keep in mind many fail to realize that when starting trt or tweaking a protocol (dose T/injection frequency) that [B][I]hormones will be in flux during the weeks leading up until blood levels stabilize (4-6 weeks when using TC/TE)[/I][/B] and it is common for many during this transition to experience what we call the [U][I][B]honeymoon period where there may be a strong increase in libido/erections and overall euphoric feeling due to increasing T levels/dopamine[/B][/I][/U][B][I].[/I][/B] Unfortunately, this is temporary and short-lived for most as the body will eventually adjust. It is also very common for many men to experience ups/downs in energy/mood/libido/erections/recovery [B][I]during the transition as the body is trying to adjust which can be very misleading. Even then do understand that once blood levels have stabilized (4-6 weeks) it will take another 2-3 months for the body to fully adapt to those new levels and this is the critical time period when one should gauge how they truly feel overall regarding relief/improvement of low-t symptoms.[/I][/B] When looking at the big picture the first 4-6 weeks is very misleading for most! Throw the icing on the cake when many are still relying upon/using inaccurate assays when testing especially when it comes to free T. What I stated above numerous times on the forum is one of the main reasons why so many struggle on trt. [/QUOTE]
