Learning that. Working with my psychiatrist, who's also a neurologist. My wife bailed on another assessment at a recommended memory clinic. Her niece and my doctor told me to gently persist in getting her to go. She said yes, though I don't believe her and rebooked the appointment, now...

My urologist prescribes compounded cream. 10%. That doesn't work for me. I either needed multiple applications through the day or higher concentration. I believe Empower's is 50 mg per click. He'd probably prescribe it since I'm the problem patient. Mental sides, for me, would be seriously...

Again, I'm trying 50 mg per week because, like @sh1973, I've tried every protocol/dosing, including pellets and compounded cream. Impressive looking labs are all I had. But when, out of frustration, I took several months off T, two years ago, I physically and mentally felt worse. My TT was...

My urologist said, IIRC, the spread between the trough and peak is about 300. With injections, does DHT began to rise as soon as T is injected? Do they track each other? I understand there's an ezymatic process or processes involved. I ask because for a couple of months, I've been finding...

I get what you're saying; that the day of the shot he gets a significant spike, then gradually down to the low point at day 7. Though there's criticism of once weekly injections, irrespective of the dose, you do have a slow roll down and after a couple of months, the trough is probably...

Thank you. Living through dementia with a family member or spouse is even worse than cancer, which took both my parents and I cared for them until they passed. My wife swears there's nothing wrong with her even as her memory is becoming fragmented and porous. She gets mad at me for my concern...

No doubt. As @sh1973 said,it took about 10 to 12 weeks to fully feel the effects and that's what I've read,irrespective of dosage. Six weeks seems to be too short of a therapeutic window. I'm not going to presume anything, just do my weekly injection. My standard would be return of nocturnal...

That's great! I know that numbers are just numbers. The real proof is always in how a man is feeling and functioning, irrespective of the dose and the labs. Several years ago did 30 mg, IM, daily. TT:1500 FT:500 DHT:75 E2: 60. In my head, super horny, but nothing going on below. And I...

You know @highpull, the physician on T-Nation forum. He starts his patients, I believe, at 100, but most end up at between 150 and 200 mg per week. @highpull injects 200 mg, weekly. He's talks straight; no BS. He was asked about starting men on 50 mg per week and he said, 'No'. But he's...

Maybe I missed it; free T on 52 mg, weekly? I'm sure not going to be critical. I'm one of those men whose tried every dosing protocol and have yet to find consistency. If it works and you feel/function good, that's all there is to say. Yet, IMO, men who do well on such a low dose are likely...

I live in Florida and go to Publix, which is a major grocery chain. I turn in my rx and in one or two days, I have it. I also have the option of Optum Mail Order Pharmacy through my insurance. No price break but every six weeks they send me one or two vials, depending on what my doctor...

First time i tried Stendra, prescribed by my urologist I had a quick psychiatric reaction; made me hypomanic. I have bipolar. So I told my wife what was going on. She blew up. Ranted about how disgusting it was that men are taking those medicines to have sex. I countered that Viagra or...

Yes. Sorry about your father. He's as stubborn as my wife. She also totally trusts her primary who must have graduated last in medical school. But she's always been that way; places doctors on pedestals and accepts whatever they say.

Or a compounded cream applied in the vagina.

My urologist implants pellets in women.
