question from a user
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? I’ve tried injections alone, even 200 mg but that didn’t help my libido or ed at all. I’m also a low shbg guy (8). The only trouble is that the gel is making me anxious and like i’m on edge.

It's likely related to under dosing on your Testosterone at 100mg weekly & needing the topical to put you into the ideal range for DHT/Testosterone, or overdosing on your Testosterone at 200mg & causing you to convert too much into Estrogen, or having your AI at too high a dose for 100mg weekly thus causing your Estrogen to bottom out so that with the topical (which converts at a higher rate to Estrogen) it brings it back up to a healthy range.TL;DR: We would guess you are off your dosing for injectable Testosterone/AI, and that your Testosterone/DHT levels or Estrogen are too high or too low as a result.It could be other things, but that sounds most likely. We're probably try shooting for a middle of the road approach around 150mg divided twice weekly & then run a test on your Testosterone/Estrogen at that dosing after 3-4 weeks.
