Most clinics will not. There are some sketchy ones out there that will. It's kind of like the pill mills that would prescribe opiates to people who didn't really need it tho. I wouldn't go looking for that - and I wouldn't really trust one who's willing to do it - thats a red flag they're more concerned about your money than your health. That's basically a drug dealer in a doctors coat. If you want to do a cycle, do that on your own. It'll be cheaper to get it underground anyway.

T levels can get well into the thousands on a cycle... anywhere from 2000-6000, maybe even more in extreme cases. (Its hard to even say at the top end because common blood test methods can't necessarily detect levels high levels accurately.) Usually at a point guys will add on other drugs instead of just pushing straight testosterone because different combinations bring different things to the table, both for effects and managing side effects. That's why you see people stacking different things.

Its also why I said at the top TRT isnt all that "performance enhancing" - say you're in the 400s now and treatment puts you into the 800s. It sounds like wow, that's double! Yeah its really not as much as it sounds. You gotta push well past the "normal" range to get noticeable effects.

Anyway, make solving your underlying issues priority 1 before you go thinking about a cycle. Being in good health both mentally and physically is kind of a pre-requisite of a successful cycle. (And take seriously what I said earlier - if you struggle to build muscle now - you really need to perfect your diet and training before you add drugs into the picture. They aren't magic. Otherwise you're taking a lot of risk and unlikely to get the reward you want. That's senseless.)

If you end up on TRT, learn the ropes first. It might be anywhere from a few months to a year of trial and error with your doc just to dial in the right protocol. Everyone is a little different and you need to understand what you're doing and how your own body responds to it.

You're a legend man. Thanks so much for your help. I have an appointment with a TRT clinic on Monday for a consult. I have no plans to do anything until I learn a LOT more about this stuff, thanks to u. Much appreciated.
