  1. Sleep apnea

    Man this was soooo true for me. If I slept on my back at all while on TRT, I would wake up gasping for air at least once a night. It was extremely frightening the first few times it happened. Ever since I've been off TRT my sleep has improved DRAMATICALLY. Now I can sleep however I want w/ no...

  2. Possible to Inject Test with Insulin Needle?

    Yep. I used 30g needles w/ no problem. Takes a little longer but considering they're virtually painless, it was worth it IMO.

  3. Going off TRT - can't afford to see anymore Docs. =(

    Nothing other than Vitamin D, Zing, and Magnesium at the moment. I was taking P5P but dropped the bottle and shattered it. :(

  4. Going off TRT - can't afford to see anymore Docs. =(

    Update: The move was pretty stressful, but I'm feeling a lot better after getting settled in. Have been getting strong morning erections everyday now which wasn't even happening pre-TRT. Weird. Only negative so far is I'm still having back acne flare-ups. I NEVER had problems with this at all...

  5. Going off TRT - can't afford to see anymore Docs. =(

    Yeah I did some googling and it looks like 5000 seems fairly standard. I was only taking 1000, so maybe bumping it a bit will be helpful. Have you noticed any difference in mood, etc?

  6. Going off TRT - can't afford to see anymore Docs. =(

    I was slightly vitamin D deficient in my original pre-TRT labs, so that does seem like a good idea especially considering I'll be in Canada and haven't lived outside of Texas my whole life. :) I know it would help to know my levels now, but what would be a good amount to start with? How much is...

  7. Going off TRT - can't afford to see anymore Docs. =(

    Moving to Canada tomorrow so obviously been under quite a bit more stress than usual. I'm handling things relatively well but I still am having occasional bouts of depression-like symptoms. It's bearable though and I at least know the reason for it. One surprising positive change: Morning...

  8. Going off TRT - can't afford to see anymore Docs. =(

    Minor update: I did cheat almost exactly two weeks ago and injected 50mg of T. Other than that, I've stayed away from everything else. Had a couple of bad binge drinking nights that really had me feeling like ****, but I feel relatively decent now. I'm sleeping a little better (harder to get...

  9. Going off TRT - can't afford to see anymore Docs. =(

    Well, I've been sorta on again/off again for a year now, but at first it was with creams which I didn't think did anything. I went off TRT for 3-4 months, then tried injections and have been on those for I'd say ~6 months now. We started out w/ 120mg total per week and my test was in the 1000...

  10. Going off TRT - can't afford to see anymore Docs. =(

    Ok, so I'm pretty sure it's not entirely in my head at this point. I'm definitely feeling a little down now. Energy levels are ok at some points during the day but I can't sustain it and I occasionally get this hopeless feeling that I'm never going to get my **** together. Sleep has actually...

  11. Going off TRT - can't afford to see anymore Docs. =(

    Really appreciate the good discussion guys even if everybody doesn't agree. It's been a little over a week since my last T shot and I can't be certain but I think I'm starting to feel a difference. Went out w/ a girl I'm talking to last night and erections were still no problem, but I drank...

  12. Going off TRT - can't afford to see anymore Docs. =(

    Thanks a lot guys. Should I expect the next month or two to be somewhat ****ty? I only ask because I'm making some serious life changes and would hate to make everything more stressful/hard than it needs to be.

  13. Going off TRT - can't afford to see anymore Docs. =(

    Before I make this post, thanks Matrix for the good advice on my old threads. It really got me thinking about how I don't want to be stuck on TRT for good if it isn't necessary. I was planning on contacting the doc you recommended, but money is really really tight right now (another reason I...

  14. FINALLY got blood labs done...help much appreciated!

    You'll get no argument from me. I was at a relative low point in my life when going on TRT and didn't know wtf I was doing. I guess I hoped it would be an easy fix, but like you mentioned, after the initial honeymoon period it's been a constant battle just feeling like I used to. I don't...

  15. FINALLY got blood labs done...help much appreciated!

    I know it's been a while, but after a lot of thought I wanted to bump this thread since I've decided to try and see if I can get off TRT. What would you consider an optimal environment and how should I proceed? Really, really appreciate it BTW.

  16. Cheaper (legal) source for Arimidex? (with Rx)

    Thanks Matrix. There's just no way I could get myself to pay $15 for such a tiny pill. :)

  17. Cheaper (legal) source for Arimidex? (with Rx)

    Hope this kind of thread is allowed, and I apologize in advance if it's not. So after fighting w/ my doc forever, she finally prescribed an AI after my E2 came back at ~60-65. I went to fill my script and, naturally, my insurance won't pay for it. She prescribed .25 mg 2x/week so I'm getting 2...

  18. using insulin needle for t shot?

    I was using 30g insulin pins and even drawing up 1/2 a cc didn't take much longer than two minutes or so. Definitely worth the extra time IMO since they're pretty much completely painless.

  19. FINALLY got blood labs done...help much appreciated!

    Thanks Matrix. I'm curious about this statement though: Given I have two real choices: 1)Go off TRT and hope for the best or 2)Stay on TRT and fix my protocol What would be your recommendation for each?

  20. FINALLY got blood labs done...help much appreciated!

    I know...it was definitely a mistake at the time, but I just trusted what the Dr. said and didn't question it enough. I know better now. :( What would you suggest my plan be going forward? Am I pretty much forced to stay on TRT at this point? What would you have suggested I do if you were her...
