Too high, need to reduce, what to expect lowering dosage?

My labs are in, refer to my Blackhawks journey thread. Total T is over 1500 at trough. Just wondering what to expect reducing dosage. Will I have anti honeymoon side effects?

Consultation is in a week w Dr Saya. I'm considering lowering next 2 doses from 64mg to 50 just to get the process started.

Yeah I know...

Just with total T, Free To and E2 all quite high, I am antsy to start coming down to more reasonable range. Balls have been hurting despite hcg, and PSA is up.

If your consultation is only a week from now, I'd do nothing until you and Dr. Saya had conferred. Your conversation will be based on the lab results you have just posted. Make a change now, begin to feel a bit different, it may complicate your discussion as the two of you work to tease out just what and how things are different.
 
I would. either way probably does not matter. It is only a week. But if my balls were hurting and PSA was up, I know the direction I would go. The change you propose is small and in the right direction. IMO, it is just going to get you to better levels a bit sooner. I am going to start a list of the number of posters who are given to much T and have levels way outside of range. I wonder what your peak levels are?

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
