[QUOTE="thething313, post: 102160, member: 12719"] So I figured I would just write a quick post to see if others have had a similar experience or if I am experiencing something abnormal. I have been stable on a protocol that has been working OK for maybe about a year now. It has been just that, ok. I have been using testosterone compounded by empower pharmacy for the duration of this protocol. My protocol consists of daily injections. On my recent refill (which I received and started two days ago) I decided I would try out name brand testosterone, truthfully just to see if there would be any difference. Since starting the brand testosterone (again two days ago), it feels as though I have totally stopped taking T. Basically my question is, for anyone who has switched between brand and compounded (or even between compounded brands) is it typical/normal to have some sort of lag time between stopping one brand and starting another where T drops off before stable blood levels are achieved again? My thought is maybe the change in carrier oil could effect the rate of absorption, resulting in this drastic drop off I am feeling. Although, I don't know if thats plausible and if something else is at play. Just feeling pretty awful right now so I am hoping to hear others experience in similar situations. Thanks in advance!
