Testosterone Purgatory (Opinions?)

Been on 0.5cc/100mg weekly inj. For several years……never fully satisfied

Recently did two weeks at 0.62cc/124mg as a twice weekly divided dose (sunday, wednesday). Hated it! Funky sorta depressed moods, no spontaneous erections, masturbation was a chore.

For week #3, went back to weekly sunday injection as the whole 0.62 dose……barely slept the past two days, feel jittery and anxious, a little weepy at sappy tv scenes……fantastic erections but only if i initiate it.

Which is more likely, befpre i go running to my doctor?

  1. the 0.62cc weekly dose is just too strong and i need to back down

2). Because i was on a biweekly “flow” that was past iniected wednesday, then i injected that big single dose “peak” on sunday, im temporarily too high, and if i stick with it, things will even out by next sunday’s injection and be fine from therein?

Also, hear rate is slightly higher range at 70-80, normally 60-70, and blood pressure is suddenly sustained at 135-140/90, with it normally being 125-130/80

It sounds like you’re getting a more vigorous response to TRT because your old protocol was a lower than average dosage for a man on replacement therapy.

It sounds like your twice weekly dosing is too aggressive (124 mg/62 mg x2). I would try 40 mg (.40 cc) twice weekly. If you’re happy with the results, retest in 6 weeks to reassess.

Forgot to mention (relevant!), both old and new doses are subq. I hope these current feelings dissipate quickly, cuz i feel like im about to jump out of my skin. Come on, 7-ish day half life!

Pick one and stay on for 6-8 weeks, switching every 3 isn’t gonna tell you much
