question from a user
In regards to "Why do I get resolution of my sexual dysfunction and low libido when taking testosterone gel (2clicks) together with 100 mg split in 2 injections?": could it not be that the gel is converting more to dht wich is supposed to help my libido and erections? I see some people on the forums and anecdotals use the ”hybrid” protocol with injections together with cream/gels. Also do you prescribe Pregnenolone for patients who are sensitive to caffeine and sugar, or have an anxiety disorder? These two are my cryptonites unfortunately, and makes me an anxious mess. I’m very sensitive as you can see.
AlphaMD's Answer
Yes, we do have some patients on the hybrid protocol using topical and injectable testosterone. This is used primarily for men looking for the sexual benefits of higher DHT (from the cream) along with physique/gym benefits of higher total T and free T (from the injection).
