Subcutaneous TRT screwed me?

[Russo]

Was about an year since I jumped in in TRT and from the start I was doing IM injections on glutes with Cypionate Testosterone. Everything was great. Good energy, libido and motivation. Latter on, influencied by forums and the new trend I started to do subcutaneous injections on belly with a small needle and I became a mess. I never correlated the problem with the injections route till now when I came on topics about some people having the same problem. I am feeling anxiety, loss of energy, motivation and having ed issues. I will try to go back to IM to see if it will help.

My question is; is anyone here suffering with the same problems as me? If so, why it happen? Did you fixed it backing to IM or had to stop TRT? Someone can clarify it to me?

Some do better on IM, some do well on subQ, no big deal. Do what works.

Change it up! Like Blackhawk said. Everyone's different! I do well with small 1ml syringe in the pectoral. Tried it in bicep today as a test.

Years ago I did many months of daily subq Test E because, like @Russo, so many guys were raving about how much better it was than IM. Labs looked great. Felt nothing. Though at 72 I'm still a work in progress, IM is the only way for me!

@tropicaldaze1950 you are 70 years old? How is going your TRT? Thanks for your response. It makes me see I'm not alone with this problem.

I injected IM minutes ago and I'm hopping it gets better as in the past.

72, LOL. I'm an outlier, with neuro-endocrine problems related to untreatable bipolar illness and long term poor sleep, so I'm not a great example of success but neither will I give up. After years of working with my urologist and trying different protocols and dosages, after a few months(3, I believe), on a weekly dose of 100 mg, Test E, I began experiencing one erection late every evening. Nocturnal erections rarely and still no morning wood. You're doing the right thing by going back to what had previously worked for you.
