I see people talk about side effects from using test on TRT and I don’t understand what sides are causing some of you all issues. I’ve been on TRT for 4 years and I’ve never had any sides that made me consider TRT is not worth the risk. I was using 100mg a week but started going 50mg every 4 days and being more consistent has made my sex life, erection quality even better. My last blood draw said my test was 859, free test is 18ish and estrogen was 25. BPH has been my only issue but I take 5mg of Cialis EOD and I have no issues there. My RBC related labs are in range.
So what side effects are some of you all talking about?
So because you are all good and have no sides and feel great that means nobody else shouldn’t have side effects and should also feel great? Plenty of people have trouble with blood pressure, hematocrit, acne, rapid heart rates etc. I ran TRT for years and tried all dosing protocols. I’m a hyper responder, so my test was at 1200-1300 on 50mg of T cyp a week 6 days after injection and over 2000 3 days after injeciton.
Could never get my hematocrit under control either, was always 54-59 and constantly having to donate was annoying. Not to mention long term use of A.I are toxic on the cardiovascular system amongst other issues.
I personally switched to enclomiphene and felt way better. All of my blood pressure and hematocrit issues completely disappeared and my testosterone range is were 700 to 800 aka normal ranges.
That being said, there are people who do need TRT. But a lot of people who take it don’t need it in the first place and just needed to do a lifestyle change instead of being lazy. A lot of people are trying to use TRT as a bandage for their shitty lifestyles. Just like the people who use Ozempic and don’t want to exercise, but just want to lose fat without changing any of their shitty habits.
