Been on TRT for 5 years, using Clomid. Started when my levels were around 300, felt horrible, after Clomid levels climbed to over 1000! it was amazing. The beauty of the clomiphine is that you can adjust the dosage and and keep your test levels where you want them. I keep mine around 500-800 taking less than 50 mg per week. No need for exogenous test injects either. I highly recommend it. BTW I'm 47 this year.
how do u feel on trt? emotionally I meani am.
im just 32 yo.
had to start TRT because of my psychiatric medication wich i cannot stop taking or ill go crazy and stuff.
ive discussed it with my doctors.
I guess both my meds and testosterone shots are now for life. I see no problem.
Let me say that low T makes you weak, fat, and your dick dont work. Plus you feel tired and a little depressed. That was me.
Now my dick is fine, my strength is much better, i can lift better, i lose weight easier (body composition got much better after starting TRT and lifting) and i feel good. Feel like im actually young and not an old man. Yeah, i dont regret not even a little bit.
Only down side is maybe oily skin but that is minor issue.
I can easily replace testosterone where i live. If i decide to go to another country where laws are different i may have to do changes in my treatment. I dont know. But that is also minor compared to real life situation. If i go on a trip for months or something like that...there is always some form of gel that i can rub every morning and thats it.
no downside, no regret.
do you take an AI?Been on 150 mg a week for about 3 years. It's great. Sometimes I bump it up to 400 mg a week.

how long have you been on TRT? I know a bit about prolactin. doesnt Caber help lower it? also could be a tumor on your pituitary.before TRT everything was foggy.
What they call a mental foggyness, i felt kinda tired.
I think low T made me a little bit depressive because of all the symptoms including not being able to keep an erection.
Well, i am currently taking 250mg of testosterone every two weeks.
It energized me. Got much stronger in the gym and since it is my main activitie it changed my mood to much better.Gains came.
Being able to have sex and fuck during 40 minutes straight makes anyone happy. (maybe my meds makes me take longer to orgasm but its no biggy)
Every aspect in my life got better so emotionally i am much much better.
It is a bit hard to say something beyond this. I have high prolactin levels because of meds. This is the cause for my hipogonadism. Prolactin can also have an impact on your mind and your behaviour but as far as i know not much is known about it when it comes to men. Luckily i have never felt sore nipples or gyno. Prolactin is the hormone that makes females produce milk, the hormone that makes you have to wait a few minutes after an orgasm so you can get another erection.It is higher in new parents because it makes them less horny so they can take care of their new born kids. Evolutionary stuff.
I think when i was high in prolactin and low T i was more "soft" or just lethargic enough to consider myself more of a "sweet guy" if you know what i mean.
Being with normal testosterone levels made me change a bit in this sense. Sometimes im just more energetic, more spontaneous. You know the teenager who starts questioning their parents? That feeling of being more present and having the energy-mood to start an argument. Not that im always willing to do it and start fights like some guy on trenbolone but sometimes i can recognize this new behaviour pattern.
It is not roid rage, its just being a normal guy with normal testosterone levels.
If testosterone is the main male hormone and it maks us more competitive...well, maybe this is what i feel.
Thats it.
hope i gave you a good answer.

Are there any creams available? Adv/disad?So much misinformation in here spread mostly by people not on it.
I am on TRT prescribed by a knowledgeable doctor starting at the age of 42. I have had my blood tested 8 times in the last 2 years and no issues. Some readings such as my lipid profile and PSA have actually improved.
I inject 50mg of test cyp twice per week which takes me from the very bottom of the lab range for free test to high normal.
Get treated by a specialist and have regular blood work done and you will be fine.
intramuscular injection is far better than topical creams. not only is it more effective, but the creams convert to DHT moreAre there any creams available? Adv/disad?
