Buddy of mine is having a great experience getting TRT prescription out in Thailand, compared to what I’ve read here and seen in the UK.
Went for tests, came back within range but low, with high SHGB.
Immediately prescribed Test E and HCG, with Danazol for the SHBG.
T and HCG seem like normal good protocol, but ive never heard of Danazol. Curious if anyone’s got experiences with it?
@bkb333 has and recently stopped. Seems dropping shbg isn’t always all it’s cracked up to be.
I don’t want to write it off entirely, but my experience so far has not been positive. However, it worked very well for @traveling-man, and it definitely did lower my SHBG.
Interesting. Any specific side effects I should tell him to watch out for? Is the purpose of it to essentially get higher free T from the same Test dose?
Somewhat hepatotoxic, lipids/trigs would be the primary areas of concern.
FWIW, my liver functions all have come back fine, Danazol had a negligible impact. Probably depends on the person though
That’s the bodybuilder logic. But I’ve read lowering SHBG is unwise – that seems to be the sentiment of the Rouzier/Nichols crowd. My libido and well-being have absolutely plummeted (you can check out my full log if you’d like more detail) but I can’t pinpoint if that’s because of the Danazol or my decreased T dose, so hard to say what to look out for.
Thanks for the insight
