question from a user
Is it possible to be on low dose trt (I'm on 54mg a week, 3 shots of 18mg mon, we'd, Fri) for life and not have any sides? My only issues is a little higher estrogen but I'm hoping it goes down (I change from 2 shots to 3 a week) I also added dim. Psa, rbc are perfect, no acne, feeling a lot better. I'm 49 been on it for 6 months.

Yes, it is. You don't need to necessarily be on a super low dose, either. The goal of TRT should be to put you back at to where you used to be or what level works best for you. Most men between the therapeutic ranges of 140mg-160mg a week have little to zero side effects and maintain benefits. The greatest benefit to a man lifelong will be his increased health and fitness. The largest killer of men are their own hearts due to poor diet & heart disease.
Those sound like good additions. You could probably raise your dose some without issue slowly & continue making your check-ins/watching for side effects.
