question from a user
My current TRT protocol is 60mg/week 200mg test cyp. The day after injection I feel great and then I am back to feeling “normal” which normal for me is a low energy low drive state. My question is this: would I benefit from an increase in the dosage amount per week, and is this something I can do with alpha MD? I would like to up my dose substantially and see what that does for me as I feel like I am not maintaining the levels I want. Possibly a 2-2.5x increase?
AlphaMD's Answer
60mg/wk is considerably lower than most men take for TRT. It sounds like you are also doing one injection weekly, which is also no longer considered standard as far as injection frequency.
Clearly you increase your testosterone level above your therapeutic threshold (the level of testosterone you need to have to relieve your low T symptoms), but as your levels come down, they drop below that threshold again and your symptoms return.
The goal of TRT would be to keep your T levels above that minimum threshold. That could likely be accomplished by increasing your dose and splitting it into no less than twice weekly injections.
Alpha MD would be happy to work with you to find the ideal protocol for you.
