Took Double Dose By Accident - Questions

Hi everyone,

Just a quick couple of questions if you have any experience I’d appreciate your input.

So my 1 year old has been in hospital on a drip with a severe chest infection and it’s been hell.

I’ve been taking 4 kids to two schools in the morning, tidying, going to the hospital to spend time with the baby and the missus, picking kids up from school, cooking their food, getting them changed, back to the hospital until 8pm, arranging child minders then going to work until 4am.

Anyway I got so tired after 5 days of this that I took double my dose of sustanon because I just wasnt thinking straight.

I’m supposed to have .5 ml which is 125mg sustanon once per week. But I have just pinned 1 ml which is 250mg of sustanon.

So I have a couple of questions.

  1. Will this cause me any problems or will I be fine?

  2. Will this reset my stability, will I now be unstable for another 6 weeks?

  3. I have to get bloods drawn on 25 October before I pin to check my levels. Will this give a false reading.

Thanks in advance for your help.

First of all all the best to your son. Hopefully he recovers quickly.

You will be fine. Depending on how sensitive you are you might feel some side effects from the higher dose (irritability, difficulty falling asleep, etc) but nothing serious.
You can either skip the next dose (if you are already stable ie taking it already for some months) or what I probably would do (especially if you are building up your levels) just inject again. This way you will actually get to your steady state levels faster.

Agreed. You’ll be fine. Don’t worry about it, it will only make it seem worse and you’ll start attributing every little thing to that extra T

Best of luck to your son as well

Thanks for the info mate, appreciate it.

I’ve been on trt for roughly 2 months now so I should be stable.

These will be my first monitoring bloods. I’m kind of worried about missing one because I feel like my dose is already a bit low.

I started off feeling great but have been feeling a bit lower. I’m guessing this could be because my body has stopped producing and I’m maybe a little under dosed.

Thank you both for the well wishes of my son too I appreciate your kind words.

Yes either underdosed or actually overdosed with high E2.
I felt fantastic between end of month 1 and 3. Had TT of 530 trough and E2 of 25 end of month 2. End of month 3 I started to feel worse again and now mid month 4 I did labs again which showed TT trough at 720 and E2 at 51. Lowered my dose from 75mg per week split into 3 times to 60 per week subq (skipped 1 25 dose) and feel better again.

Thanks mate, appreciate the info.

Yeah something is off at the minute. I’m hoping when I go to my gp on 21st October that they can prescribe for me under the supervision of my specialist.

I’ll switch to enanthate if they can because I’d like to try it. Most people say it’s a lot better than sustanon.

At the minute 12 ampouls of sustanon cost the same as 2 amps of enanthate so the cost is ridiculous.

I’ve got a month to wait to finally see what’s going on. Either way, something needs to change.

Thanks again

It may not unset the stable state, I once went in for a vaccination and by mistake they injected me with testosterone cypionate and when I asked if they normally inject vaccines in the glutes, the nurse replied it was testosterone.

Months earlier I had been taught how to self inject at home, doctor called days later and chewed me out and I was pissed! I put him in his place and was threatening to report the nurse. It turns out the doctor didn’t deactivate the authorization for further injections at the nursing clinic.

I had papers indicating I was there for a vaccination. I didn’t even notice a difference even after skipping my next dosage, back then I was injecting once weekly.

Thanks mate, so what do we all reckon is the way forward then?

Skip a dose or just continue as normal?

Thanks again

I don’t think skipping a dosage is needed, just keep going because either way your body will adapt.

Oh that’s great news, I was a bit worried when I realised.

I thought I’d ruined everything I’d done so far.

Thanks for all the reassurance everyone I’d be lost without this place.

You likely won’t feel much of anything. I’ve done it when I first started TRT. I was about 3 months in on doing 220mg once weekly. I didn’t realize I had done it until a week later.

You mean you were dosing wrong for 3 months or just once and then later on realized?

Do you think it will affect my bloods in any way and give a false reading or should I have levelled off to my baseline by then.

Thanks for sharing your experience

I was about 3 months in on a 220mg/month one a week protocol when I accidentally took 2 shots (forgot I had taken a shot the day before). So at that point I had done 440mg. I didn’t realize until the next week. I didn’t feel any difference.

If bloods are Oct 21st it shouldn’t affect them.

Oh haha, I thought you were on 440 for 3 months for a minute.

That’s good to know about my bloods because something is definitely off which as systemlord said could be either over dosed with e2 problems or under dosed now that my body has stopped producing.

I felt great for a few weeks then slowly stopped feeling the benefit anymore and I dont want my bloods skewed by one massive spike with a mistaken dose.

Thanks again mate
