[QUOTE="Mountain Man, post: 270359, member: 14411"] I have been a patient at his clinic in Boston since 2016. He recently sold his practice but is still affiliated with them. This is the exact protocol that I started on in 2016. I was started at .05 and was allowed to bump it up as I felt necessary. The theory that the clinic uses, which is Morgentaler’s, is to start your dose at 100 and keep it simple. It was explained to me that this is to ensure that if anything goes wrong or needs to be adjusted, you know what needs adjusting. The shotgun approach where a person starts on an AI and possibly other medication‘s makes it difficult to figure out what is working and what’s not. While he was not my personal doctor while he while he was there, all the PAs that work there consulted with him on a regular basis. He was the doctor that did my prostate biopsy, as well as the follow up and I did get an appointment with him when my PA was out sick. Very knowledgeable, very patient, and answered a ton of questions that I asked him. He’s a year or two younger than I am, and spoke about the benefits that I was getting as being because of my age. He felt that older man in particular do very well on this regimen. He also explained to me that he believes that TRT is heart protective as well as prostate protective. It also seems that after you’re doing well for a while with their protocols, they give you the wiggle room to bump up or bump down. I went up to 160 once a week when I had hip replacement to see if it would help recovery. They supported that. Eventually, I brought it back down to 140 because there was no real benefit to that higher dose and I felt no different. Right now my dose is 135–140 once per week. The clinic seems to discourage people from going up to 200. I asked my PA about it out of curiosity, and he said that if someone’s doing that, then it’s not really TRT, but using it as a steroid like substance. [/QUOTE]
