[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 278929, member: 16042"] It is not special case, it is incredibly common. Have your been reading this forum for long? It is constant that men come here with problems from this kind of antiquated protocol. Because something works for you it does not mean that is the norm for others. You are a rare N=1 on one end of the spectrum I am on the other. I am taking 6.8mg daily, and due for labs. Last labs were on 7mg daily/49mg weekly, SubQ Testosterone Total 783.5 ng/dL 264.0-916.0 LC/MS/MS Testosterone, Free 19.74 ng/dL 5.00-21.00 I was started at 150mg/week, it resulted in problems and the need to keep reducing dose again and again and again. For me, withdrawal is indeed misery. Had I known in retrospect I would have started low and worked higher if needed. Had I started on 50mg/week I would have been fine and avoided a lot of misery. And goals of testosterone use vary. So if you are about getting big bodybuilding that is a different goal than correcting hypogonadism. Obviously YMMV My observation is that 70-100mg/week will take care of most men's hypogonadism, and many achieve super-physiological levels at 100. But some would not consideranything under the very top of normal range optimal. Many consider optimal as running at very top of range or above in order to try to feel like superman. Nothing wrong with that per se, unless there are other side effects. [/QUOTE]
