Good luck to you. I stopped awhile ago after trying different protocols and noting worked well. I feel pretty good off. My sleep is much improved. TRT causes me to snore....never snores in my life until TRT. Now that I am off....snoring went away. Sexual function is back....on TRT I could...

My libido and sex life is MUCH better off of TRT. Have tried numerous protocols. Same results with sexual issues. So....no longer on TRT.

Alcohol has a negative effect on the liver. The liver effect SHBG. So drinking could effect your T levels, etc. I don’t drink, so I do not understand the need or desire to drink...no judgement to those who do. I have witnessed folks who drink heavily and see the results it has on them. It...

[/ CITA] Cunto llevas fuera , como te sientes? He estado fuera durante unos meses hasta ahora esta vez. Me siento bien cuando estoy fuera de TRT en su mayor parte. Sexualmente estoy mucho mejor de TRT. Sí ... TRT causa efectos negativos para mí sexualmente. De hecho, tengo "cambios de...

I have been off for a few months so far this time. I feel ok when I am off TRT for the most part. Sexually I am wayyyy better off of TRT. Yes....TRT causes negative effects for me sexually. I actually have “mood changes” when I am off TRT. When I am on TRT my mood becomes very linear and...

TRT increases my BP but not my hematocrit by much. Usually from around 46 to 48. And the compounded T seems to increase my BP more vs WestWard branded T. When I was on compounded T cream my BP got extremely high. So much so I stopped using it. This was also posted about by another member of...

Trying different protocols.

I have cold turkey quite three times now. No problems. I go back to my pre TRT levels. Good luck.

I have stopped three times now. I just stop cold turkey. I did not agree with adding more substances and prolonging getting my system back up and running on its own. Everyone has to do what they feel is best for themselves, but for me it has not been a big deal to just stop. Good luck to you.

One if the reasons I stopped TRT. It gives me negative sexual issues. Tried lots of different protocol changes. Nothing helped except to stop. When I am off TRT I can have sex and finish pretty much anytime I want. When on TRT, I am lucky to be able to get off once a week.

Yep...WestWard is my favorite brand followed by Pfizer. EmPower gives me the worst sides. But hey....T is T right?

There are some VERY in shape and active 60+ members here who I am sure will chime in. Plateaus happen at any age when working out. Usually means you need to change your workout routine. Good luck to you.

Oh...and someone ask d about price of WestWard. I was getting it from Rite Aid using GoodRx coupons and it was about $40.00. Right Aid...at least here in CA...has stopped taking GoodRx. I went to Safeway and it was around $50.00 with GoodRx. This is for 10ml vials. Defy with write...

You bet. I started with EmPower as I was going through Defy. And I never felt very good. The EmPower T just feels...”dirty”....for a lack of a better explanation. When I use it I have acne issues, I get a tingling/numbness in my right hand like carpal tunnel symptoms, my left eye would water...

I feel EmPower T is the least effective. I can use about 10mg less of the WestWard T per dose to get the same lab numbers vs the EmPower. My mom died from Parkinson’s. When she used compounded meds her uncontrollable movements were very bad. On name brand meds they would go away. Her...

I have used three types of T cyp. Out of the three brands, EmPower causes me the most sides. My favorite by far is Westward. Followed by Pfizer. Everyone is different. EmPower’s cream T brought on some really bad sides...there is another gent on here who reported the same thing...

Yes, Empower. I stopped buying the 12k vials because I felt it was useless about halfway through the vial. Again....that was going off of how I felt and confirming with the pregnancy test. But it could be still potent enough for our use but not strong enough to show positive on the pregnancy...

HCG WILL show a positive pregnancy test if it is good. I stopped buying 12,000ml vials because after about 4-5 weeks it would not show positive so my thoughts say it has lost its potency. The 6K vials would still show positive at the end.

Welcome to the fun of messing with your hormones. I never used clomid, but TRT takes my normal, porn star level loads down to a dribble. This decreases my sexual enjoyment by a large amount. Have no helpful insight, but know that this is a common thing when introducing substances that alter...

I was on injections for over a year the first time and was on 240mg a week at my top protocol. 2nd time I was on 160mg a week. This last time I was on two clicks a day of cream. I am high SHBG....over 70. So higher doses were needed to get my free T up.

I have stopped cold turkey 3 times now....no crash. In fact, about 3-4 weeks after stopping, I go through a “coming off honeymoon” phase and feel pretty darn good. I have tried different protocols with injections and tried cream...TRT just doesn’t seem to work for me. Good luck.

Yes, it happens to me when I am on TRT. When I stop, the snoring goes away. Sleep apnea seems to be the “in thing” now days. 12 years ago I had a doctor tell me I should get on cholesterol medication as a precautionary measure. My cholesterol is about the same today as it was then....and I...

Go to the dollar store and buy some pregnancy tests. The EmPower does not register on the pregnancy test after about 40 days. So???

Me too, but after I talked them about it, I just decided to cold turkey. Having another 4-6+ weeks on meds when I wanted to quite seemed wrong for me. I seem to go through another “honeymoon phase” when stopping. About 3-4 weeks in I feel REALLY good. Good luck to you.

Just stop. Have done it two times, and no big deal. No crash. Everything cam back to pretty close to base line of pre TRT.

I was on 240mg of T a week and my DHT is mid range. Of course my SHBG was 70+.

What did you say!?!?!

Hi Vince. Here is what he posted for his lab values: TSH 13.7 (Ref. 0.450-4.500 uIU/mL) Thyroid Peroxidase Ab 278 (Ref 0-34 IU/mL) Thyroglobulin Ab 446 (Ref. 0.0-0.9 IU/mL) Triiodothyronine (T3), Free 3.8 (Ref. 2.0-4.4 pg/mL) T4,Free(Direct) 1.21 (Ref. 0.82-1.77 ng/dL)

Are those thyroid numbers correct? If so, you have some major thyroid issues.

I recently started cream. I apply morning and early evening.
