I have been told that having constant high test levels renders it ineffective by my endo.Has anyone else heard of this and what is the reason?

one can get spoiled if being kept high for prolong peroid of time..I have been told that having constant high test levels renders it ineffective by my endo.Has anyone else heard of this and what is the reason?

I heard something like this from a guy on test therapy once...after a while he noticed the dose he was taking just didn't seem to work anymore. He had to keep upping the dosage to get the same positive effects. Later he switched from Test Cyp. to Test Enanthate and the positive results continued.I have been told that having constant high test levels renders it ineffective by my endo.Has anyone else heard of this and what is the reason?

Do you remember where you read that? Any linkage?I ve decided to take acetyl l carnitine with is supposed to upregulate androgen receptor sites .

i think he's implying something about tolerance. similar to vicodin. you can take two per day for pain, but 30 days later, you may need 3 per day for the same effect. a smart doctor would then give you percocet instead, but most just give you more of the same. your doctor seems smarter than most, which is a very good thing.I have been told that having constant high test levels renders it ineffective by my endo.Has anyone else heard of this and what is the reason?

I wish it was as simple as that but under the NHS in the UK , you get what your given so to speak. The last thing I want however is for him to extend the interval between injections. Currently its 11 weeks (Nebido) and this suits me fine.i think he's implying something about tolerance. similar to vicodin. you can take two per day for pain, but 30 days later, you may need 3 per day for the same effect. a smart doctor would then give you percocet instead, but most just give you more of the same. your doctor seems smarter than most, which is a very good thing.
you combat this by switching types every month or two. with test, probably every 3-4 months. you switch test for test cyp, test eth, test suspension, etc. as long as you keep switching TYPES, your body cannot build a tolerance.
ALCAR and also NAC, supposedly helps reverse the tolerance factor.
If someone is losing effects while their test is high, I would look into estrogens first though. With androgens being high, there is also a lot of aromatization which can negate the effects or feelings of the androgen. For bodybuilding purposes though, estrogen can be a favorable companion.
Switching types of test doesn't make sense to me. All you are switching is the ester...the substance is still the same, and I woudl assume the amount is still the same. Maybe it changes the way it interacts with the androgen receptor because of the speed in which each ester is released though.
I wonder if it would be beneficial to go through periods where one only uses shots + hcg, then only hcg in higher amounts, then gel + hcg, and keep rotating these methods.
Also, you may want to speak to your doctor about how T therapy shutsdown the rest of your many hormones produced by your HPTA...and try to get him/her to incorporate HCG.. You really need to backfill those necessary hormones once they become shutdown. HCG helps to release some 17 different hormones besides testosterone. HCG will also require a necessary amount of DHEA and PREG to work properly.
You should also consider that if you are having issues, they may lay elsewhere besides your test levels.

High levels (or low levels) of E over time will kill your sex drive and cause ED.
LCLT = L-Carnitine L-tartrate.found the report
the conclusion was Conclusion: In summary, these data demonstrated that: 1) feeding after RE increased AR content, which may result in increased testosterone uptake, and thus enhanced luteinizing hormone secretion via feedback mechanisms; and 2) LCLT supplementation upregulated AR content, which may promote recovery from RE
Test isnt the issue here bound test is near top of the ref range and free is 3/4 up ref range.What levels of test are they talking about thou? Are we talking high normal or a little over limit as in HRT or are we talking BB with levels over 2000.
