Hi all,
I have been doing a LOT of homework lately, as I have been rethinking a lot of what I was doing for "TRT", and up until very recently had settled into the idea of doing 40mg 2x EW for a total of 80mg, and just keeping it there for consistent blood levels.
This was following a bout of ED, and I had seemed to get that under wraps with increasing cardio and cleaning up my diet.
Then after running a lower dose of test for a while, I my sex drive has crashed.
THis is very fustrating, and what I read most about was how testosterone relates to dopamine, and how sensitivity to dopamine can be reduced over time if the levels stay high.
Well, when I first started a 300mg EW cruise a while back, for six months my libido was in overdrive.
Then the cheese slid off the cracker.
What I now believe happened was that such a dose was giving me a ton of dopamine, and my sex drive was incredible.
Then as I lost sensitivity to dopamine, so went the sex drive. Combined with the effects of long term high test on prolactin, and we got a problem.
Well, we KNOW that natural test is all over the place, you can be 300ng/dl after a long bad day, and 900ng/dl with a raging hard on the next morning.
Well, even if we keep testosterone at say 700ng/dl, couldn't we still burn out the responce to dopamine?
It seems this has happened to many here, and we got a lot of guys running cialis and still the problem is no sex drive, no desire, even with the level of a waking 24 year old.
My guess is it is because we have such level ALL THE TIME?
I know some guys here prefer the small crash they get and inject 100mg every 10 days, as going to the shot again makes them feel great? (
feedback on this is appreciated too, I want to hear the theories on it especially if it relates to the dopamine sensitivity)
Then I read this:

where jlguitar has seemed to devise a way to keep upping the test for a bit, and thus the dopamine, followed by a 2 week layoff, and then going back up, claiming it keeeps his libido good.
There is some logic to this, and I'm thinking of trying it with 80, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180 then off 2 weeks, then restart.
Or even 80,90,100,110,120,130 then off 2 weeks restart.
The goal is to keep the libido up very high, and it seems like consistent levels may not in fact be the key to this after all...
Lets discuss...
