The short answer is yes, definitely.
In fact once dialed in on the right protocol I feel better than I do during weeks 1-2. But for clarification, never as good as the very beginning of TRT - that feeling is dopamine related and for those of you thinking you can get that feeling back and maintain it every day...it's not going to happen.
For an example of the ups and downs, when I first started with my 60mg E3.5D protocol, I felt like garbage. I couldn't sleep, night sweats, was super moody, next to no erectile function...it sucked. After sticking with it for 5 weeks, I started to feel better. After the 6 week mark, I felt great and all of those negative things were no longer an issue.
I was doing great on that protocol but unfortunately HCT was always a bit high over range. It finally crept one point higher to the point that I had to donate, so now I'm back to chasing my tail trying a protocol change hoping that I can find something that allows me to maintain previous levels with lower HCT.
The answer to your issue is to most likely just let HCT be slightly high. Current research shows that it’s a non issue unless it gets into the high 50’s. I personally try to just keep mine below 55. What was your level at when it was “high”?
