[QUOTE="madman, post: 191344, member: 13851"] 200 mg/week split daily or EOD is a whopping dose of T for someone with low SHBG. Did you ever have your FT tested using an accurate assay Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration? Your FT and e2/free e2 would most likely have been way too high on such a dose. Let alone RBCs/hemoglobin/hematocrit. It comes down to where your FT level sits. Too high an FT will result in high e2/free e2. Ideally one should try to find the lowest FT level they can run without having to use an aromatase inhibitor where they still reap the beneficial effects of testosterone while at the same time minimizing/avoiding any potential side-effects. Much easier said than done especially when too many get caught up in the more T is better mentality. Most never take the chance of trying to run lower FT levels to avoid the potential side-effects when in many cases they may very well end up feeling much better in the long run. These are the same individuals that end up chasing their tales indefinitely! Top it off with the hard reality that too many never give a lower dosed protocol a surviving chance. As when one tweaks a protocol (increase/decrease dose T) not only will hormones be in FLUX during the weeks leading up until blood levels stabilize (4-6 weeks) which can be very misleading as it is the most difficult time for most especially when lowering dose as one will be sure to experience bumps along the way. Even once blood levels stabilize it will take 2-3 months for the body to adapt to those new levels and this is the critical time period when one should gauge how they truly feel regarding relief/improvement of low-t symptoms. This is where the majority make the grave mistake of not giving the body enough time to adapt and most will bail out way too early claiming that they feel much worse on a lower dose of T and end up jumping right back on using a higher dose. This is where finding an effective protocol can turn out to be a real SHIT SHOW! [/QUOTE]
