[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 214162, member: 38109"] Unfortunately decreasing the dose is almost always harder than increasing. Your body has adapted to higher levels and it takes time to get used to more normal levels. One of our forum members said "I too started at too high a dose when starting injections, 150mg/week dosed E3D. It was living Hell having to reduce dose and go through withdrawal getting it right from there over the course of many months. In retrospect if I was to do it again, I would have started on about 80mg/week dosed every 2 or 3 days, and if inadequate boost 2mg EOD at 6-8 week intervals with labs at each stage until I felt good."[[URL='https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/hello-60yo-starting-trt.23181/#post-198852']R[/URL]] In my own case I did find that athleticism was better with higher testosterone, but everything else is better at lower levels—libido, sexual function, cognition, etc. I haven't even used my preferred testosterone.
