Some help here, is this from T ???

lexer · Oct 28, 2017

Guys, i have been doing well on T for over 12 weeks. Libido is very good ect...
i have been using 45 mgs every tues and friday. This past tuesday i decided to do a smaller amount( roughly 35 mgs maybe a tad less). Wednesday i felt great, thursday i felt ok, but yesterday i felt horrible.
weak, depressed, anxious, and insecure. I felt ugly and just weird. In fact, i didnt even want to be around anyone.
I did another shot yesterday and did my regular 45mgs and i feel just fine today.
could that depressed feeling be the result of my T levels dropping too low when my T levels bottom out just before my shot with that lowered dose.?
that was an effed up feeling. As i said, i felt ugly, weak, anxious. Wierd. Is that what you guys refer to when you talk about T levels crashing? I only lowered the dose about 10mgs but then again my dosage is kind of low already.
any opinions.?

That's a very low starting dose and you even lowered it further. I wouldn't think it would benefit you. Did you run Labs at your starting dose.

Hi Vince
45 mgs 2x per week might seem a tad low but its a great dose for me. Good libido, good energy, mental clarity, overall feeling of well being. Some guys dont need a lot of testosterone to function well. I do great in the mid 500-650 range.
i see many guys post blood results of 900 but ther free T is only mid range. Both my free t and total seem to correlate directly. I used to do 100 mgs once per week.
the day after my injection, my T levels would be over 1000. The 7th day, just before my next shot, my levels would be 600. Thats great but my DHT levels were way over the normal range ( 151 day after shot and 94 day of next). Average range for dht is 35-85.
2x per week at smaller dosage will reduce those dht spikes which i beleive are responsible for most side effects.
I will have my blood results monday and post them.
do you think that depression yesterday was due to my T levels crashing too low?
example, im not depressed if my T levels bottom at 450 but if the further they fall below that, depression will occur?

Yes I believe your T levels were too low, you'll know more after labs. I would have stayed at the low dose and had labs, before increasing dose.

The 45mgs every tues and friday was the higher dose i started with. Thats the dose i had blood drawn from.
the lower dose was a one time injection this past week. The lower dose is when i started feelin bad.

It will be interesting to see your labs, hopefully you'll start feeling good again.

I already feel good again. Thats why i think dropping to 35mgs was the cause.

My dose is 30 mg twice a week and i feel great. Total T stays mid 500's. Hct is 51-52 and i feel great in all areas. So whatever dose works for you is what works for you.
