Self Medicating TRT In The UK?
Been suggested, I start this thread here, so here it goes ...
Hopefully I can learn a lot and others from my experiences too.
Introduction:
For years doctors said, both my mental & physical symptoms, were due to depression & (social) anxiety. This obviously resulted in antidepressant prescriptions.
It’s a long story, but in a nutshell -
I now realise I’ve been living with low T, since brain surgery 20 years ago - Just had bloodwork to confirm this.

34 Years Old
5'7"

Notes & Questions:
I've been reading all the stickies and Austinite's 'My First Cycle' thread, raised some questions regarding my weight
I'm currenty about 30lbs overweight. 170lbs is around my ideal weight, but I've been as low as 150lbs, 3 or 4 years ago. At 150lbs, obviously my gyno was more visible (remember my nipple issues were worse too)
Sooo, being overweight atm, should I try to deal with my pre-existing gyno issues, before I start TRT?
A kind of Pre TRT PCT? With Nolvadex etc?
Protocol Ideas:
I was thinking of basing my protocol on the 'Novice Cutting Cycle' from Sterioid,com, then weening off the Anavar after 12 weeks
Am I on the right track?
Any help would be much appreciated
