I’m 45 and on androgel 7.5mg daily. my free test level is around 880ng/dl and my doc might want to lower my dosage which I do NOT want… I want to lower my level prior to my next blood workup, how long do your test levels stay elevated after discontinuing use of androgel? If my level is within the medium normal range doc will leave it alone or better yet, RAISE it! I lift 3-4 times a week and feel like I’m 18 again. any help out there would be great.Thanks timhlbrk
Do a search on here for “Your doctor, your dealer”. It’s a good article to get what you’re looking for.
Basically you want to do everything wrong. Don’t sleep, stay drunk, overtrain, run a marathon, get stressed out, don’t eat enough kcals…all of that stuff should lower your test quite a bit.
watch lifetime television for women. a good 3 hours will have you t-levels in the dirt.
Spend a weekend watching ‘Sex and the City’ with your significant other like I had to recently. If that doesn’t suck all the test outta you, nothing will.

Add a couple cartons of Soy Slender to sip on, and you’ll be all set.
also be lazy as hell, never tried this one but pop some estroven pills or maybe birth control, masturbate 24/7 and drink like 7 beers a night. listen man, lowering testosteron levels aint cheap either!
You already know how to lower your “test” dude. You wouldn’t be getting androgel prescribed if you didn’t have low test to begin with. Stop rubbing that shit all over your scrotbag and I’m sure you’ll test plenty low. Other solution is just keep using it for months and sure as shit you’ll have full testicular shutdown which will lower your overall levels. Then he can bump it back up to 10 for you. It’s unfortunate most doctors won’t aim to do something pharmacuetical about increasing your own natural T levels- ironically they instead opt for replacement therapy which will in the long run, inevitably, take you from hypogonadal to zerogonadal.

I know that stopping use will lower my levels, I was curious as to how long that will take… timhlbrk
Don’t apply the Androgel for the two days prior to your next blood draw.
I guarantee you’ll test low enough to get your HRT raised, if not get put on T-cyp injections.
Trust me on this one!

That, or tell him he will absolutely not change your scrip. If he threatens to, tell him good bye. You are in control of that situation, believe it or not.

This is true, doctors make most of their money from pharmaceutical comission. He knows rightly that another “anti-aging specialist” with an MD, will set you up with 200mg or cypionate a week.
X-Factor, thanks for the advice. I’ve been with my doc for many years and would hate to have to switch. I’m hoping I can persuade him to try injections.I’m probably gonna get some d-bol paper and see what happens…
Dianabol is going to be a real bad idea for you to use as hormone replacement. Dianabol is well know for fast, complete testicular shutdown. It also aromatizes which throws gas on the fire for an aging man. Estrogen rises in men as they age, and in fact men in their 50’s have more estrogen than women do. This does all sorts of wonderful things to your mood and your waistline, not to mention your nipples and chest. Middle age spread is in fact, female-pattern fat deposits caused by estrogen. Read about it if you think I’m wrong. I’m telling you, your doctor is an ass. If you are simply looking for an 800-1000ng/dl reading on your T levels- and you clearly don’t mind using drugs- I see no reason you couldn’t achieve that using SERMS and/or aromatase inhibitors to up regulate your HPTA. Your own body would be producing the testosterone, and you’ll be focusing on managing the growing menace of estrogen at the same time. Not to mention, you’re balls won’t look like a walnut shell thats been glued under your cock- like they will using Dianabol for HRT.

Thanks for the input RE, I intended to ADD the D-bol to my HRT of Androgel. First of all, without the A-gel my levels are around 180ng/dl and I am also on synthroid (prescribed). I wanted to add as much mass and strength that I could in one cycle (for now).I want levels as high as possible (1100+). If your opinion is d-bol is not the answer, perhaps you could suggest something more suitable for a 45 year old looking to add some mass.I also do not know what SERMS is, I will appreciate any help you can offer, Thanks timhlbrk
