Welcome! How do you feel?
Hey dude.
0.35mg seems a little low, hehe. I’m assuming you meant 0.35ml
Usually we talk about dosages in terms of milligrams FYI. 0.35ml is a volume, but we don’t know which testosterone concentration you’re using. They come anywhere from 100 to 300mg per ml, so quite a big difference.
Welcome to the forum!
Welcome buddy87,
If you needed Cialis pre-TRT, you may find you don’t need it on once your body has fully acclimated to TRT. You may also find you don’t need ADHD drugs, it’s common to be misdiagnosed with ADHD instead of low testosterone.
Vyvanse similar to Adderall, can cause midday fatigue negating the benefits of TRT. I have heard these amphetamine drugs can wear off and stopping working over time.
Dosing in is milligrams, your dosage is most likely 65mg twice weekly with your numbers.
Top notch, best decision I could’ve made. Family has a history of T problems. Mostly relating to thyroid stuff. Just never took the plunge, bc doc said I fell in the “normal” zone.[quote=“NH_Watts, post:3, topic:261029, full:true”]

Hey boss man,
Sorry, yes. 210mg/cc .35ml 2x/wk. I’ll take some time proofreading before posting.
Thank for the welcome!!
Hello,
Doc went everywhere else, except trt. Actually reached out to a men’s rejuvenation facility for a script. I have to pay out of pocket, bc as mentioned, my serum is within the 300-1100 range. Absorption doesn’t play a role with my doc. It would be great to get off this pharmacy of medications.
The reason is because most doctors are not very knowledgeable in TRT and believe the nonsense studies that TRT cause prostate cancer, heart attacks and strokes, after all this is what they are taught in medical school. Doctors stick with what they know best and stay away from stuff they don’t understand because they don’t want to cause harm to the patient and risk lawsuits.
Your doctor was exercising self preservation.
I get it. It just feels moronic paying for it out of pocket, while I’m dropping 500+/mo for health insurance. Is what it is…
You/we are all being scammed because the threshold for treatment is very low and you are paying through your teeth and getting nothing out of your investment.
This way insurance get to keep the money without having to pay out on you, on their end that’s a pretty good deal wouldn’t you say?
You basically have to have the testosterone level of an 80 year old man to get TRT approved.
