I’m the same way lol. Whats your dose these days anyway?
I’m not saying fixing these will cure every issue your having, but these are 4 major things that will have a huge negative impact.
I did 12 hr overnight LE shifts and it absolutely destroyed my health. From what I remember, research overwhelmingly shows significantly increased mortality and poor health markers from overnight shifts work.
Sleep is extremely important, no amount of T or anything else counteracts poor sleep. Diet, good work on starting to clean it up that will definitely pay dividends in the long run. And as you mentioned that you are drinking too much, scaling that back can only help.
As far as the testosterone, maybe it’s too much for you or not enough or you’d do better with different dosing. Hard to say since everyone is so individual.

Mondays. If I go twice a week Monday morning and Thursday night.
Right now thinking of dropping dose and sticking to one shot per week. Or sticking with a shot of 160mg but extending to 10 days, but ughhh it grinds my gears like I said thinking of a schedule not consistent with the same day.
I am going to hold off on my shot on Monday. Try to stretch it, not sure how long, maybe as long as I can just to see how I feel. If there are positives I will then do less frequency as my set schedule.
It’s just so interesting how ideally just thinking out loud we would want to replicate trough levels with more frequent dosing, but no never works.
It will definitely be interesting to see how long your libido lasts beyond 7 days and possibly even improves. I’m planning a similar experiment myself. I remember reading @highpull in a thread saying it took him something like 3 weeks to notice a difference after not injecting.
Yeah I was in that thread. Always was funny to me people injecting over 100mg per week and swearing they felt some kind of “dip” if they didn’t inject EOD lol. I dropped it for close to 2 weeks once as well, I did not feel like I was “off my meds” or anything. Actually woke up one night with a rock hard boner randomly.
“I inject 180mg a week, I feel like shit by the 5th day if I don’t inject more often” I don’t want to be apathetic, but as highpull says you just don’t see such extremes as this in practice outside of the forums. At least not on a normal basis.

Well one thing I’d say is that I’ve never gone super low dose. Meaning below 50mg. Have you done your bloods on the day you had good libido?
Yeah, I mean trough is what ppl do bloodwork the majority of the time.
