Good to switch test?

**talstar** · 03-24-2010, 06:58 PM

I was wondering if switching to test e would be a wise thing to do? Does your body get use to one test and would going to another test have any benefit?

It will be ok. Are you on cyp now?

My Dr switched me from test E to Test C because of the puffy face sides i had developed.
My understanding from the educational threads on this side is the only difference is the esters which allow the body to absord the test at different rates...between 7 (Test P)and 14 days (Test C) if memory serves. But the test is test.
And i would avail yourself to the educational threads ...i downloaded and printed and highlighted them 2+ years ago when i began HRT cause you damned sure will not get the info from you GP or endo.

cant remember whiteowl....did the puffy face go away after changing esters?

I know they are suppose to be the same, just wondering if anybody has switched noticed a difference.

I switched to e from c and I like it a lot better. I have fewer sides on e for some reason. Bloat went down, not having to take as much adex, bp went down and rbc's don't seem as high. Maybe my body is just now really getting used to the extra t though.

this is interesting...my bp i sometimes in the 130 range which i dont like...i guess it wouldnt hurt to try...are the costs the same

side effects go down from e to c to p. the bloating is a main difference. Asked about switching from c to p today. because p dose is twice-three times a week it costs that much more. I decided to stay on c.

this cost estimate is from a compounding pharmacy, primary pharmacy results may differ.

jpkman...yes it did...think there was about a 12# drop overall after one full year test e and about 2 months into test c.

I just posted a thread in this forum regarding some swelling i am experiencing. Where specifically was your swelling if i may ask, and what dosage were you using? Thanks
