75 year old man on trt for the first time.

[AlphaGenetics]

A friend of mine just started trt two weeks ago at the age of 75. Hes had problems with depression, low libido, and lack of focus, ext. I finally talked him into starting trt. Hes taking 250 mg's of test c per week. Any suggestions or comments that would be helpfull to him?

He is going to feel SOOOO much better in a few weeks. My buddy's in his 40's, got the free Test level of a 100 year old guy. I mean it literally. He didn't even know that he wasn't up to snuff until he got on TRT. Within 4 weeks of 200mg/wk of Test Cyp he felt like a new man. His muscles started to plump up, he had more energy, he was more positive... He was a new man, chemically.

Make sure he gets bw done and his e2 checked cuz 250mg a week is a little hit

250 seems like a high starting dose. I'm on 100mg a week and it puts me over 1100

does he still have his prostate?? issues issues big time with that dose or any dose with a male that old especially.. 250 is high for sure..

a transdermal would have been a slower and safer way for him to proceed..

Test and GH is like fertalizer to a prostate.

Sound like he is self medicating.
Is he actually doing this through a doc?
When 250mgs aromatizes he might experience some uncool sides.

I like it though. 75 yo..lol. If my Dad was alive, I would def go the HRT route with him, so he could enjoy his last years to the max.
What is average test levels of a 75 yo, anybody know?
In a sense, every single man at 75 would benefit from TRT/HRT right?
I´m 43 and def wanna start before 50.

Look into Test. Pellets for him. Much easier.

My father started trt 5 months ago with a trt doctor and he is 67.
He only takes 100mg of test cyp 1 time per week and feels great!

Also on his last blood work his total test was at 900 and that was about 6 days after his injection.
The funny thing is my mother gives him his shot! LOL! I told him not to piss her off in any way on shot day!!

Alpha just be sure to tell him not to slack on Blood work and get his prostate checked as well.My father was very lucky to get a good doctor because so many suck when it comes to this.

Thanks for all the feedback. I will tell him to drop his dose to 100mgs per week until he can get another doctor that isnt ignorant. His doc basically told him he has had a good life and just deal with what nature has in store. I told him bs its time to start living!!!! lol I told him he needs to see an endo asap. Thank you all!

Ah...I´m starting to suspect you are his "doc"...

[Bonaparte]

Oh God...
Yeah, 250mg a week would put him in his grave in a hurry.
He probably wouldn't even need 100mg/week to feel ok.
