question from a user

I am finding myself very exhausted and fatigued some days. I am on test c 105mg split 3x a week m/w/f. I have been on trt for five weeks. Should I increase my dose, or ride it out for another 4 weeks to see if my symptoms improve? Thanks!

AlphaMD's Answer

We'd have our patients ride it out. What might not have been covered with your provider is that *somehow* although injected Testosterone & Testosterone in the body is the same, your body knows the difference. It takes about 6 weeks for your body to stop fighting this knowledge and just accept it. This usually isn't a concern but in cases like this you'd want to give it another week or two before you judge it. We like to wait for two months before making any changes.
