[QUOTE="madman, post: 115817, member: 13851"] You state you have been on trt for 5 years, last 2 under a doctors care. Have kept your dose in the 150-200mg/week range most of that time and splitting dose twice weekly (every 3.5 days). Gone through fluctuations where you felt great and other times not so great.....ups/downs could be due to many reasons too low/high TT/FT, too low/high e2, overall protocol (dose/injection frequency) related to ones SHBG as it is critical to know your SHBG as it will dictate ones dose/injection frequency an the overall effectiveness of ones trt protocol. Trying to understand that " i've also noticed that when i take a shot i felt best 6-7 days after the shot" when you stated earlier that you are injecting twice weekly so you are basically injecting every 3.5 days yet you say you noticed you felt better 6-7 days after the shot.....makes no sense unless you were injecting once weekly? You state " a few times i did not take the second weekly shot and went at times 10 days and felt even better" so if you were injecting 150-200mg/week of testosterone split into twice weekly injections (every 3.5 days) than you were injecting 75-100mg of testosterone twice weekly so if you skipped the second weekly shot a few times than you basically injected 75-100mg once weekly for a few weeks.....there would be too much fluctuation in your T levels let alone e2. You state "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". Of course you would still feel ok within the first 2 weeks after stopping since the exogenous T is still in your system but your levels will crash after the exogenous T is out of your system and a week after your last injection levels are already starting to decline. After week 2 you had blood work done and your TT 415 is in the low normal range and I would say your FT would also be lower even though you state FT is 70.9.....we need to know the reference range on your labs? You have finished your 3rd week of trt and you are going to experience low t again and negative effect on energy/mood/libido/erectile function are to be expected as your hormones are low.....and as far as muscle loss highly doubtful unless one was abusing testosterone in high doses as in steroid doses to gain significant muscle. You need to have full blood work done and assess the situation to decide what is the best approach to improving your situation and you need a good doctor such as Dr. Saya from Defy. [/QUOTE]
