How did you feel from the time you started TRT until you were dialed in?

That's the kind of stuff I'm interested in hearing...thanks for the reply. Can you describe "roller coaster ride" further? I definitely feel like that myself to the point that I'm considering stopping TRT. I am trying to determine if I'm just reacting badly to it or if there is an adaptation period that I just need to muscle through. Did the water weight come off after the first few weeks or are you still up 10lbs?

Roller coaster thing is just having diferent feeling at times, diferent emotions, I believe I felt a huge rush of Dopamine for a bit...all kinds of diferent things! Nothing bad, but like mentioned...don't worry about the first few weeks...its just part of the whole thing.

I wouldn't stop already! If you're low & felt like shit, you're just gonna get lower & feel more like shit, lol! You have to get dialed in to feel good, but like these vets here say, it takes patience & time...I read that all the time. I was kinda the same way in the very beginning...it's a huge decision & nothing to be taken lightly! It is for the rest of your life...you need to be ready mentally to take the plunge. I still wish that I started atleast 2-3 years ago!

Definitely an adaption phase with this...really doubt you're reacting badly! The 10 lbs I gained is still there, lol! Not a bad thing though & doesn't bother me. I actually look a little leaner & my lifts in the gym have progressed really good...put it this way. In the last 6 months before TRT I was stuck at a 10 rep max on bench of 190lbs...last week I rep'd 210 11 times. Incline went from 155, 10 reps to 180, 11 reps. Front squats 150, 10 reps to 190 10 reps. This was all something I didn't expect so I'm thrilled that the gym had such great improvements...if ya look good, ya feel good !

Also, I'm only 11 weeks in so still getting dialed myself!
