Slight depression?

[Illtemper]

So I listened to the advise of my doc rather then what my protocal says and i cut my t level injections in half, instead of 200 i have been taking 100-75mg E5D. Now this took a few weeks but im noticing im always tired and slightly depressed now.. Could this because i cut my test in half?

I know its most likely possible and a good probability and the only reason i took that advise from my doc is that I thought i would entertain my docs advise and see what the results would be but with these result, im taking it back up on the next inject i think... I havent really been depressed since i started Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) about a yr ago.. THIS SUCKS!

Why did he advise you to cut it back?

Could be due to a bunch of different things. What are your T level at with the new dose?

My doc wanted me to cut it back a little cause when I tested I was at 1160.

What it is now with taking less I'm not sure.. All I know is I'm not feeling that well lately and that is really all I've changed in my routine..........

1160 is not that high.

When did you test after your last shot to get that 1160? How many days?

it was 1160 on day 5 first thing in the morning..

you know docs just look at the scale and say "hey you're above the range on the chart you should back it down a bit".. I felt great with what i was doing but i thought maybe i should entertain his advise and drop it a bit more just to see how my body would feel on less...

I read that some of us were trying to shoot EOD with cyp, mainly to keep the levels more level. HOWS THAT WORKING OUT???

I think i could shoot less but i would have to shoot it EOD with the way my body processes it to keep from having my levels fall to low. if that makes sense?
even with doing that though, most are shooting 150mg a weeks, i think
50mg EOD??

Right before my next shot I would start getting depressed, "forget" to eat, not want to train, and get teary-eyed easily. Most interestingly enough, I found when shot-induced depression hit I had to force myself to take the shot. It's better now, but I had a lot of trouble in the beginning with my shots. I never felt very good on anything below say 125mg/wk. And taking 200+ is when I felt good.

I highly suggest upping your dosage if you can in any way. I've always found that doctors would work with me as long as my blood test came back in the normal range.

"Teary eyed": what do you reckon, guys? Estrogen spike?

That makes no sense. You are in still in range at 1160.

That makes no sense. You are in still in range at 1160.

according to the original chart which came out in god knows when, 950 is the top range number on the chart that my levels are against.... Yes this is just a general doc i do not go to an ENDO doc, i have Maximus for that.. I just know that if i get tested through my doc ins covers it 100%... thats why i go,....

yes the chart is the "old" referance ranges and the new is what 1100? like i said i just wanted to see how i would feel on less and now i know i dont like it...
