[QUOTE="AH2261, post: 115766, member: 17024"] Hey Guys, I'm hoping some of the more experienced guys can possible help me out. I've posted a few times on the board and haven't been on in a while. So quick background, been on low dose test for last 5 years, last 2 have been under doctor care. I've stayed within 150-200mg per week, most of this time frame at 2 shots per week. That said, i've gone through fluctuations where i've felt great and other times not so great. I don't feel i've ever really dialed in my T/E ratio. But overall felt good and i'm sure could feel better if i nailed down best protocal for body. That said, i've also noticed that when i take a shot i felt best 6-7 days after the shot and a few times i did not take the second weekly shot and went at times 10 days and felt even better. Sex drive was great and i never understood why. First couple days after the shot not so great sex drive. So i ended up these past feeks traveling for work and i went off cold turkey, to experiment how i would feel. I've been off for 3 weeks now, the first 2 weeks i felt great, waking up with morning wood, first time in YEARS! Sensitivity great and overall blood flow like i haven't seen in years. I decided to get blood work after week 2 since i figured why not get labs during a time i feel great to see where those numbers were. My total test was 415, estridiol was 9 and free test was 70.9. This was roughly a few days over 2 weeks since my last shot. Normal blood work has had me in the 900 range and estro in the 45-55 range over the years. I'm finishing my 3rd week and no idea where my test is, it could be dropping by the day, who knows. I am noticing that my skin is starting to get oily and i'm thinking it may be due to my estro going up? Not sure how this all works for it to be at 9 and to go up....maybe it's the T starting to tank even lower? I don't know if this is the beginning of me starting to feel a hell of a lot worse, and test is about to go rock bottom and i'll start to feel like all the horror stories i hear about when guys come off ( depressed, muscle loss, no libido, etc.). All i know is that this was the first time in years that i was getting morning wood, great sex drive and not sure why. Maybe it was the first time my testes some what woke up from years of being shut off? I know seeing my doctor is the best course of action, and i saw him few months ago and talked to him about possible coming off and he said most just come off cold turkey...not sure if i really want to come off for good, but figured i'd try. My main concern/goal is feeling good. Am i in for a world of hurt coming my way ?? [/QUOTE]
