[QUOTE="Simbarn, post: 236395, member: 44021"] After not being on testosterone related forums for a considerable time, I find it hard to believe how often I read now of guys starting out with dosages around 200 mg per week. Where has this come from? When I first started my TRT journey about 25 years ago, we had 2 injectable options available in Australia, Sustanon 250 and Primoteston 250, being 250 mg in a one ml ampule for injection once every 3 WEEKS! It was designed this way so the patient did not have to visit their doctor too often. Of course this resulted in levels being too low by the end of the third week and too high in the first. It was not long before I discovered that 100 mg per week was a much better frequency and amount. Trying to convince the doctors of this at the time was a challenge as they were concerned this was going to result in too much testosterone. Now it seems that there are many ill-informed doctors out there in the US that think doubling this amount is appropriate to start a patient with T replacement. To the OP, the advice given here by other members to halve your dose is without question good advice and is worthy of serious consideration. I personally would be getting a second opinion from another doctor more experienced in hormones and sexual medicine. There is a term in medicine called homeostasis. It is incredibly important when it comes to hormones! [/QUOTE]
