[QUOTE="Fortunate, post: 231020, member: 42264"] For TLDR, see bottom of post. There are a lot of cream threads out there, but this appears to be the currently most active one. So, for anyone interested, I'll post my most recent cream experience. I had been on Xyosted 50mg, roughly twice a week for five weeks. For a variety of reasons, I decided to give cream another trial. Last time I was on cream, I had other variables at play (was on hCG, for some of it, played with DHEA and T3). I have 15% standard base cream (37.5mg per click). It happens to be about 1.5 years old (sitting on a shelf). Around the time when my next injection was due, I started cream instead. In fact, it was on a day I was feeling run down and tired, so I did a single click to the shoulder around 3PM. Within hours, my energy, mental clarity and mood was significantly better. Wow. However, that night, I had very light sleep, woke up a ton and woke up way too early. Basically, insomnia. Maybe I just need to dose in the morning to alleviate this? For two subsequent days, I did one click to scrotum and one click to shoulder in the AM. On the first day, I felt pretty good, but had some mild anxiety and mild tachycardia. That improved, but was still present on the second day. Both days, I had pretty good mental clarity and energy with a decent mood. On evening of second day of this, had some more challenges with sleep. HOWEVER, I have a confounding variable (with a wink in [USER=44064]@FunkOdyssey[/USER]'s direction), I also starting weaning off a beta blocker right before I started the cream trial. Beta blockers are known to be a drag on energy, mood and libido. It is possible the positive affects were simply due to being off the beta blocker. It is also possible that the mild anxiety and tachycardia were due to beta blocker withdrawal. As a mini experiment, I decided to hold the cream and do 1-2 Xyosted injections to see if I have a similar bump in energy, mental clarity and mood (now that I am off the beta blocker). Started that today and will report back. That said, I am pretty darn encouraged about my latest cream trial and won't hesitate to go back and do a longer trial. If I do, I will probably do two clicks to the shoulder once a day. My potential concern about cream long term: what are the repercussions of long term DHT elevation? Will hormone levels gradually rise until a steady state is reached, at which point I will be supraphysiologic (this is what I suspect happened last time I was on cream, but there were other variables, too)? Is dose titration kinda hard because of variables that can affect absorption, etc.? TLDR: [LIST] [*]Cream works [*]It works really quickly [*]It appears to work even up to 1.5 years after being compounded and sitting on a shelf [*]Beta blockers are great drugs and do what they are supposed to do really well, but can be nasty on certain aspects of the subjective human experience (more on that later) [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
