Off of TRT for three weeks now

[flatscat]

Update

Well, hopefully I can get my script filled next week - sure do need it. I have had a down hill slide since April 20. No t, a few doses of HCG, and a-dex .5 twice a week since then. Mood is terrible, sex drive dropping and almost gone. No morning wood, no energy and on and on. You guys know the drill - It is worse than before I started my trt in Dec.

I thought I would be different, and able to overcome being without it - and I could get through this if I have to, but sure don't want to.

Several other things I have noticed:

1. My skin around my face/scalp has become extremely dry and flakey.
2. Don't have any feeling in my nipple's.
3. Almost impossible to get an errection.
4. Just a general don't give a crap attitude - about anything.
5. My BP is down to normal - only good thing about this.

I have been trying to lose some BF - I think it is the root of most all evils in trt. I can't wait to call and get the med's sent - hopefully Friday.

This will be the last time I get off of t for the rest of my life if I can help it I know that now. I appreciate all of your support and comments.

That to bad bro why did you lapse your script was it intentional like a test to see if you could recover? Best of luck on getting some test back in your system as fast as possible.

I feel your pain. I just had a shot on Monday after not having any for three weeks. I have, and have had every symptom you've talked about. I thought I was going to get fired as my work started to suffer. Hopefully you'll get some love to soon.
Peace.

the a-dex might be driving your E2 too low. i've heard guys say they dry up pretty bad when E2 gets too low.

No, I ran out of dinero, but I was curious what would happen. Thanks for the words.

Thanks Bro - amazing how common the symptoms are. Glad you got yours going again!

I actually was pretty dry before I started and it was one of the first things to change with the T. Face and scalp problems were gone in the first two weeks before I started the AI. Wonder what it is with the T that helps this?

can you list your current TRT protocol?

[ecsaaron]

I tried to go 3 weeks without before blood work and made it only 2 weeks and i had what i call down syndrome (just down on everything) not trying to make lite of the real disease.Everyday after the first week it got worse by the hour.It was hard to be with myself.Sucked bigtime.

[Testomaster]

Next time u stop TRT cycle make like this :

After 2 weeks from last T. shot.
1-4 weeks
2000 IU Pregnyl EOD + 20mg Nolva + 50mg Proviron
You won't experience any problems. Guaranteed !!!

[flatscat]

can you list your current TRT protocol?

Dave, I am not on one right now. But my first protocol was 200mg/week test c, 250 week hcg, start the ai .5mg once week. I bumped the ai to twice a week, then three times, then eod. I played around with the t dose from 180 to 250 /week trying to tweak it. Now I am waiting to start again and am in HEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLL!

[ZonaDave]

what are your numbers on that protocol? did your doc put you on that protocol or are you supplimenting?

i was on 200mg/week and it was just too much for me. if you go too high for waht your body is happy with it will try to dump it and that's when you run into problems. but it really depends on what your numbers look like.

your goal should be to get your T to a good level while minimizing the need for alot of a-dex.

for me, high and low E2 feels the same which is crappy! the only difference i noticed is my joints made more noise when my E2 was low.

[flatscat]

My numbers were high - like 1400 something. When I start up again I think I will stay on 100mg/week and start with .5 adex/week for the first 2-3 months unless I need to bump the adex up. I am going to do things a little different next time.

[flatscat]

Starting to feel better. Boys are getting back to normal size. Body must be producing some t again. Not taking a-dex anymore. Thinking of taking clomid though - any thoughts on that and how much for how long?

[ZonaDave]

are you on the lower dose now?

[flatscat]

no t at all Dave

[ZonaDave]

oh ok, i wasn't sure because you mentioned going on a lower dose and then you said you were feeling better.
