[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 110035, member: 16042"] And how long has it been since you made this change? If it has been less than 6 weeks, you don't yet know the true result for the longer term. I have been reducing dosage due to high Hematocrit and E2. Currently on at least the third readjustment downward. This process was started last November. I always go through multiple symptoms as levels decrease and fully believe at least some are due to the levels changing prior to reaching new steady state. Some of these things tend to feel good, others do not. They are variable and hard to pin down, but for me it takes 6-8 weeks to reach a new stable level. We know that due to half life of testosterone cypionate that it takes around 6 weeks for blood levels to readjust and stabilize to the new level. So if you are having a great time after a day or two, great, enjoy it, but don't let it go to your head, as your levels have not even started to change considerably. An exception to this is if you have very low SHBG, the resulting lower level of free T could feel better. However, again don't expect a steady state of bliss, but reassess after 6 weeks. SHBG is all important for your dosing frequency. 2 injections a week are probably fine if you have middle to higher SHBG. If you have lower SHBG, you may benefit from much more frequent injections. You have not posted full labs, and it appears you are micro managing your own dosing without correlating to the reality of medication half lives nor the full picture of your blood levels. Maybe you'll be lucky and feel great from this change for the long term, but you may experience more symptoms as your levels decrease. Anyway, People here can give you much more targeted feedback with more complete information. As is, it's all quite speculative. [/QUOTE]
