Does Anyone Regret Going on TRT?

[Youthful55guy]

Because both times I tried TRT over the course of 2.5 years, PVCs would occur and then immediately stop a week or 2 after my last injection. Figured it might be due to hemacrit, too much ai, or even hcg, but I eventually ruled all of those out by either giving blood for hemacrit with no change, reducing my ai to just .25 mg a week with no change, and stopping hcg completely with no change. So all that seemed left to me was the testosterone.

You bring up some points I've never considered. Would be awesome if all I had to do was diuretic therapy.

Did you experience fluid retention? Many of us do. It might be worth asking the doc for a trial script. If you have hypertension + fluid retention, consider asking the doctor a combination drug that contains an antihypertensive with low sexual side-effects (e.g. ACE inhibitor) combined with an diuretic. I take losartan (an ACE inhibitor) alone, but I know that it is also available with hydrochlorothiazide (a diuretic). However, this is all theoretical and depends on whether the PVC is indeed associated with fluid retention.

Yes, that is common and due to fluid retention. No doubt due to it's affect on ACTH secretion. Losartan with hydrochlorothiazide might be worth a try. Hyzaar is a common brand.
