Hi first post,
Read so much for the last two days including the protocol by ksMan, thank you.
I have been on testim for a year as prescribed by my doctor (2 tubes/day) and today I saw him for an appointment to talk about doing my own injections instead (I have kids and the testim burns my skin now). After some discussion he agreed to change me to shots. (I gave him a print out of some stuff from here, the protocol etc).
He had not prescribed test cyp in such manner before (I requested 150mg / week and the syringes as recommended here). He wrote me the prescription, but the pharmacy rejected it as being “not normal / too high a dose”.
For any of you guys that are on prescription: What is the correct nomenclature for the prescription if I’m asking him for 150mg a week?
The pharmacy is technically correct. 100mg/week is more typical. Get the doc to verify to the pharmacy that that was his intention and not a mistake.
In many cases, I think that 125mg would be a better dose than the magic 100mg. 150mg will most always go well above range. But in that case, one really needs to be looking at FT or bio-T, not TT for dosing.
You can try 100mg/week then that can be increased based on lab results to achieve high normal levels.

That sounds like a plan. Since I was able to get doc to write it bigger ( 0.75 mL week/ 200mg per mL) there is some wiggle room there. I was planning on doing the Monday / Weds / Friday routine.
