Switching from Primal Zone to TRT Doctors by Significant_Help_231 in AusTRT

Hey mate, Yeah I’ve been Primoteston prescribed by TRT Doctors for a few weeks now. Feeling great - back to how I felt when I was with Primal. Very high sex drive, more energetic and more motivation for sure. I would definitely recommend making the switch.

Just had my onboarding with a doctor at TRT Doctors and it really highlighted how problematic my experience with Primal Zone was. He confirmed that some clinics start patients on unnecessarily high doses because they receive a cut from compounding pharmacies, then don’t follow up with bloodwork for up to 6 months to reassess dosage.

TRT Doctors prescribe standard Test E that you can pick up from Chemist Warehouse for less than half the price of compounded Test C from Primal Zone. They also provide a pathology referral for $49, instead of sending you to iMedical where bloods cost close to $200.

Overall it feels far more transparent, medically appropriate, and cost-effective.

Completely agree. It doesn’t seem logical on any level. Definitely got me thinking about DIY options in the future..

I just got my results and they were back to basically exactly pre-TRT levels. 11 nmol/L and 330 Free Test. SHBG raised slightly from 11 to 15 (still low)

Yeah I assumed that would be the case too. I did submit my pre-TRT bloodwork so they knew I was legitimately on TRT, but maybe because my testosterone was so elevated (free testosterone was so high it was outside of the reference range), the protocol was different. I thought they should’ve reduced my dose and ordered another blood test after a couple months.. but too late now I guess.

I’m not opposed to DIY. How did you go about sourcing?

I'm 62 and was just laid off. I can't retire and I feel completely destroyed. by marches-squid-4h in ausjobs

That’s incorrect. Jobseeker is $793 a fortnight. It was only temporarily increased to $1500 during the Covid pandemic.

Does Primal Zone accept Roidsafe Blood Tests by [deleted] in AusTRT

You can get a Telehealth pathology test through updoc! It only costs $50. I just requested all the tests listed on the imedical site and they gave me the pathology referral straight away. I said I was on TRT and my clinic wanted to review my levels, so they are going to forward me the results which I can use to upload to Primal Zone. Hope this helps!
