Why do TRT clinics just throw 200mg out to start

AlphaMD's Answer

They really shouldn't, but because many take the approach of uniform care over individual planning, they pick a dose that will *certainly* give results which is good for marketing, even if it will almost certain mean you need to give additional medications to counteract additional side effects. It also appeals to the idea of "I get this many mg per month with this TRT company for $X!" as a value statement, and many people view most things in life as "more is more" when buying things. However more is generally not more with TRT when treating men who are truly low Testosterone rather than bodybuilders. So, mostly for bad reasoning overall but it sells easily.
