Preferred TRT Dose

[Prdctofnyc]

So maybe you guys who are on TRT can give me some insight here. I'm currently on test cyp 100mg/ week, next week on my fourth shot I go in and see the doctor. I'm thinking to tell him to bring me up to maybe 150mg/week. I think at 28 if I'm going to be on something for the remainder of my life I would like to get the most benefits out of something and 100mg/week although I have seen some improvements it just seems minimal. For those of you guys on TRT (test cyp to be exact) what dose have you found to have worked best for you? What have been some of the benefits etc?

I'm 41. Been on TRT for about 3yrs now. The doc was giving me 120-180mg a week. Energy levels were decent, I wasn't having any "bedroom issues" pretty trt. Was mostly for lack of energy. I tried getting off once. Won't happen again, energy plummeted, bedroom desire disappeared. Got back on and I dose myself at the same the doc was. All is fine. When I to "on cycle " I dose at 350-400/week test c with 200/week tren a. If the 100 week is putting ur levels where they are supposed to be, it's unlikely he will up the dose. Unless you have a kindof liberal minded doc. Just my thoughts.

Pre trt. Not pretty. Darn spell correct.

I've been on Cyp at 200mg/wk.. I like that dose for myself.. When I was about a month into it, I noticed stronger erections, harder muscles and generally have just felt better in life.. I haven't cycled since last fall, but I'm still able to make gains with my replacement dose. Just my experience. Hope it helps.

I would say I have a pretty liberal doctor. Going to get some bloodwork done and see but I think that 150-200mg is where I would like to be.

Normal range is between 300 to about 1050ng/dL, peaks at about age 20 and declines with age, at about 1% each year from age 30 on...
Your Doctor can prescribe a dose that will get you between those ranges and TRT to maintain them by checking your blood work. If you have a good Doc, he/she will ask you how you feel on the treatment and will adjust the dose to get you to a range where you feel much better about yourself (for a lack of a better term). But they will not take you over the normal range...
A lot of different factors can cause a drop in your test levels, gear being one of the main ones... Once you introduce synthetic testosterone (which TRT is) your body will stop producing it. Thus testosterone replacement therapy is normally a lifelong process...
I've been on TRT (Test Cyp 200mg e2w) for less than a year but found it helped tremendously in the first few months but then it tapered off some. I'll have blood work done to see where my levels are and adjust from there. The closer you are to the higher side of normal levels, the better you'll feel is my opinion. But over all, I feel 100% better now that I have my test levels in the normal range and recommend TRT for anyone who may need it.

200mg a week on a cruise puts my levels at 900-1000ish and my energy levels and all bloodwork are perfect

 

[Prdctofnyc]

Nice, do you pin twice at 100/100 or just once? Do you plan being at 200 all your life?

 

[Beastly]

I dose at 150 mgs every 5 days which equates to 210 mgs per week

I did two injections a week. I actually blast and cruised for roughly 3-4 years and decided to get off in Sept and did an hpta restart. Since then the only thing I've taken is ostarine and Mk677 and my test levels are fine now...there in the low 600's not as good as cruising but can't complain

Good news on the restart, you must be a younger fella

 

[Taurus]

I don't think most Doctors will let you tell them how much to give you. They usually try to give you the lowest dose possible to avoid any future problems. They go off the numbers and what you tell them, like I'm tired all the time, still feel shitty, can't get it up, can't sleep, etc.

Yea I'm only 28

Yeah, but what's your age. Just curious. Cause I tried getting off and I was in worse shape than before I got on trt.

 

[Shovelhead]

Disregard. Just saw the response on age on second page.

I think 150mg of Cyp a week is perfect for trt. More isn't always better, so find a slightly better sweet spot above where you are at.
And add Aromasin. And low dose dhea.

[Slevinsbrother]

So yes, bump it up 50mg and hit up some legit aromasin.

[stevesmi]

finding the right doc is crucial. it could take seeing 10 of them to find the right fit for you.

we spend so much time when we buy a car doing our homework, but people for some reason just settle for a doc

 

[Slevinsbrother]

Doc shopping can get you in trouble though.
I recommend going to a FL doc you find online or one of the TRT clinics that is very well advertised on the Internet. That usually means they are looser with the dosages they prescribe.

[gymrat827]

80-150 a wk is a trt/hrt dose.

beyond that is just having a lil fun.

That^^ and try to find a local "health & restoration" kind of clinic.
They are more liberal. Usually found thru compounding pharmacys.

Keep shopping, bro....keep digging like I did

I agree with that. Very few of the people I know personally, and who are ont TRT, get anything more than 150mgs per week.

Just curious to where this puts your t and e2? I've got a great doc who prescribes me 200mg a week. I only do about 150-180mg a week and it puts my t at 1200-1300 with e2 around 35 without any ai. I'm wondering if I should just move up to the full 200mg a week but I'm not sure what those levels will do to me long term if I stay there.

 

[dbag]

I was at 200mg/wk for over a year and felt great at that dose. Doc recently dropped it down to 100mg/wk because BP and blood count were increasing. I've noticed a drop in energy and libido since lowering the dose...

 

[Strengthbyfaith11]

I have not been on trt yet but I am iffy to bring it up to my doc. I feel like ehh coming off of cycle even using the perfect pct. I believe pct is worth the money. But being able to go straight into trt must be nice. How do you get around blasting when on it?
