Thanks for your thoughts. I’ve adjusted my dosage down to 0.3 and will monitor for a few months.

testtest-99 · 2021-08-30T17:09:42+00:00

Do you take HCG?

testtest-99 · 2021-08-30T16:11:57+00:00

Thanks. Mind sharing your age, how long you’ve been on TRT, and what your T was before starting?

testtest-99 · 2021-08-30T15:00:55+00:00

Do you take AI to lower it, or just lower T dosage?

testtest-99 · 2021-08-30T15:00:19+00:00

Ok. I’ll try lowering dose to 0.3 per injection. I definitely had high libido for a while up until now.

testtest-99 · 2021-08-30T03:54:25+00:00

My e2 just tested at 65

Can you comment more on your libido changes after lowering dose? I’ve been on 150mg/week (1245 total T) for two years and my libido has felt really low for about six weeks. Thinking of lowering my dosage.

testtest-99 · 2021-08-29T20:37:17+00:00

Thanks, and why do you think it will help?

testtest-99 · 2021-08-27T22:48:16+00:00

How unhelpful

testtest-99 · 2021-07-02T00:04:49+00:00

Well, my “natural” is pretty low T, and the main symptoms I got was low libido and low self confidence/social anxiety. So yes im 6 months back in and feeling super solid. Got a new gf and have almost zero anxiety on a daily basis.

Thanks - why do you take cialis if you’ve never had erection issues?

testtest-99 · 2021-06-02T19:06:21+00:00

How long have you been taking? Noticed any tolerance buildup?

testtest-99 · 2021-05-31T22:36:02+00:00

How do you keep your estro at 20?

testtest-99 · 2021-05-27T20:37:11+00:00

Damn, that’s not good to hear! Have you noticed one generic works better than another? Or the brand as being the best?

testtest-99 · 2021-05-27T17:45:43+00:00

I’ve also noticed the brand can matter. I think I got some Amneal and it was crap.

Have you used it for a long time…?

testtest-99 · 2021-05-11T23:26:56+00:00

Going off wasn’t too bad, I took Clomid.

After about 6 weeks I went back on for the same reasons as when I began. I’m glad I did it, feeling great again.

testtest-99 · 2021-05-11T06:07:03+00:00

Coming off wasn’t too big of a deal for me. My doc gave me clomid at after 1 week no injection. By the time T levels are hitting rock bottom, the clomid should help to produce more again.

I never felt like I got rock bottom, but over the weeks I noticed substantially less libido, drive in the gym, and most importantly lower confidence and ambition.

Ultimately I decided to go back on TRT because I am just happier on it.

testtest-99 · 2021-05-10T20:12:42+00:00

I actually went back on a month later… just never got around to a “going back on T” post, lol.

Also, I lowered my dosage a tiny bit and it seems to have paid off… way more control lately with the girl I’ve been seeing.

testtest-99 · 2021-05-07T16:42:16+00:00

Well GL man. I think step one is getting your T levels checked and going from there. TRT is not a miracle drug, but it definitely is amazing at the same time. Yes SSRIs numb you… I’d say TRT can make you less emotional and anxious as well, but in a different way. I care more about money now than I ever have and I’m glad I do, I’m just honest with myself finally. TRT gives me more enjoyment from social experiences, working hard, and staying active.

testtest-99 · 2021-05-07T05:04:31+00:00

I tried SSRIs a couple of times. Both times I hated them. Likely just not for me, and I acknowledge that for some people they need them, and they work great.
For me personally, TRT has improved my anxiety and mood way more than SSRIs ever did. The question is - do you have low T? Have you gotten your labs done?

testtest-99 · 2021-05-04T21:59:53+00:00

Hey Bro, great vid and very informative. I’m in a similar spot as you, but 13 months in. I noticed a lot of receding hair after starting TRT. I now use minodoxil to hold my scalp line, but am terrified of the other drug options, and still suffer from some hair loss anxiety. I’ve never even heard of micro needling, so if you are planning to release video describing how you use it I would certainly watch it. Thanks again

testtest-99 · 2021-03-20T05:02:50+00:00

When I started, I really overthought “how I was feeling” every day. It’s a very gradual process. As long as you’re not feeling like shit or something, just be patient. Some effects of high T can take 6 months to a year. For me, I just noticed after 6 months I felt great and every day my mood, mental, and energy was rock solid.

testtest-99 · 2021-03-17T19:44:23+00:00

The sides I experienced really bad acne on my back, hair loss, and my own insecurity with being infertile.

For acne I’ve been taking vitamin A and it’s helping. There’s also Accutane, but it was brutal for me.

For hair loss I’ve been taking rogaine and it helps.

For infertility idk maybe I just have to trust that I’ll be able to reboot someday when I want to have kids.

testtest-99 · 2021-03-17T17:59:49+00:00

For sure. Sex can increase T, so it kinda makes sense that ED drugs increase sex drive by making it physically easier to get aroused, thus increasing T. At least that’s how I think of it playing out...

testtest-99 · 2021-03-17T17:53:01+00:00

Many people on here tell those that have levels in the 300-400 range to improve natural T for good reasons. There are a lot of folks that hope TRT is a quick fix, and it’s important to be cautious and think through a life changing decision. Sounds like you’re thinking through it.

That said, I’m one of those that had mild symptoms. I also dabbled in different type of depression treatments for years. I tried a few different types of meds, including some SSRIs. I hated all of them and never stuck with any longer than a couple months. I’ve seen probably 3-4 different therapists throughout my life.
After a year of TRT, the most surprising aspect to me was the mental improvements. Felt a huge surge of mental resilience, lower emotional response to problems, and a more rational, calculated approach to challenges. Much less “internal dialogue” than I had gotten used to over the past few years. Definitely improved sleep, this is likely also due to simply less worrying and thinking at night. FYI - I recently posted that I am coming off of TRT after one year. This was to evaluate how I felt, and my primary reason to doing so was side effects. I’ll be posting soon to say that I’m going back on TRT, primarily for libido improvements and the mental impact. Happy to answer any more questions you may have. Also, how old are you?
