Hi there. I'm a 43 year old guy who has been on TRT for over a year. I'm currently on 200 mg every 2 weeks. It was working well for about a year, but lately after week one I'm feeling lethargic and no energy in the gym. Should I adjust my dosage to 100 mg a week or is that too little? What dosages are you guys on?

Have you had blood work? what’s your numbers look like? Test? Estrogen? Cortisol? Thyroid? Are you under stress? What approximately is your body fat percentage? How often do you lift? How much cardio did you? What’s your diet like?
200 mg every two weeks creates a huge spike and then a big decline. You can go to 100 mg a week and still creates a large spike and then decline. You will likely feel better than you do right now for a couple months and then you’ll feel the same way again.
Unless there’s something else off in your blood work I would recommend 50 mg every 3 1/2 days. You can also add 100mg DIM (supplement). If bf high or estrogen high.
That’s the basics,All other recommendations will depend on your bloodwork
Hope that helps?

I'm always kinda shocked when doc's are Rxing 200 or 250 one shot every two weeks.
Some people just are scared of being a pincushion..
Like ^ said. 50mg e3d is good . And if u don't like muscle shots that often there is always subq daily ..or EOD.. with those standard needles available free almost anywhere at harm reduction places.. though it's hard to find 1cc barrel that u can change tip

Very few docs know much about trt, so Im not surprised. Just because they say every 2 weeks doesn't mean you cant split the dose and do it more often. I only pin every 2 weeks but thats with undeconate ester, big difference.
Buyneedles had the 1ml syringes you can change the tips. The free pins are for junkies, quit being cheap
@Cheapshot said it well - most docs don't get a lot of training with hormones. My TRT was prescribed at 100 mg every 2 weeks at first and I knew it was messed up but I did as the doc said knowing it would come in low when my bloods were done (Enanthate). My test was still below the normal parameters (or at the very bottom of the range - long time ago so can't recall exactly) and he changed it 200 mg every two weeks. After my blood work was completed, I switched it to 1 shot per week and on day 7 I am in the middle of the range or middle high but the most important factor is I feel good.
Today mine came in at 10.8 ng/dl. So like 300.. she said you're good. I said .. no.
I know my shit. She says some B's about taking it in the morning. I then explained that doesn't apply. I said. I want to be 20-28. That's in the acceptable range. My nuts are fried . Give me some more test and AI if I need. She said. Ok. Finally a new doc that will actually work with me .. she seemed ok. So I asked for some Cialis. Asked me how much I want . I said 20s. She laughed. And wrote one for some 10s

So. I'm stoked to have a doc that is open to getting me where I want to be ..
Ideally I don't want to be on an ai.. but.. iono.. what do people think about being on adex for long periods . . My cholesterol is good. But. High bp. I didn't mention the dbol..
Btw. Does anyone know how much dbol actually raises Bp at low doses .. I heard the danabol only contains 6mg(I take one blue
a day). and any remedies for high bp other than quitting caffiene and smokes ?

I use the needle exchange for my pins…. I’m also an ex IV addict
Not a junkie anymore but also not ashamed one bit to go to harm reduction for my supplies
Good to hear, I have been there too. I just feel the needle exchanges are for people who really need it. Its not about being ashamed. I spend thousands a year on gear, I have no issues dropping 100 on pins every year.I use the needle exchange for my pins…. I’m also an ex IV addict
I see myself switching over because I heard the BD tips aren’t so great compared to another brand(forget name?). Anyways, it’s not a permanent thing but it’s very convenient. I make a call and they drop a garbage bag off at my front door the same night.
even a couple of disposable bins, boxes of wipes, etc. All my insulin pins I get from them and I can comfortably use once and dispose properly.
Bd barrels with teurmo pins is the best combo. I can read the bd syringes better and the plungers are more smooth. But Some of the bd pins are not sharp.
U have the phs van drop off?
Idk what phs means it’s called something but I forget what
What’s your blood work look like?
if your estradiol is too high I would suggest pinning twice weekly, for example Tuesday night and Friday morning. This will help keep your test levels more stable. I’ve also read less body fat equals less aromatization to estrogen.
