question from a user
What's the average dose for hyper responders in your clinic? My total testosterone is at 1344ng/dl trough on 120mg a week. I'm considering dropping the dose significantly so I don't have to juggle with Anastrozole dosing and high estrogen. I've heard of guys taking as low as 40mg a week. I still want healthy testosterone levels, but nothing that will require Anastrozole. I think this could be 600-900ng/dl. But I'll need to first drop my dose to see how I feel and what the blood work says.

We have a few hyper responders, which we would probably loosely define as anyone who needs less than 100mg/wk.I would guess that about 5% of our current patients would qualify as a hyper-responder. Their typical dose is around 70-80mg/wk. The lowest we have is 60mg/wk with total T levels that exceed 1000ng/dL on that dose.
