125mg test e a week , why is prolactin 608 mIU/L

[Rk303]

This was a while back now but it’s put me off trying test again , after 15 months off everything I’ve just had bloods checked again and waiting for my results but last time I was on it was just test e and 125mg a week and my prolactin was sky high and I felt horrible depressed and low

My e2 was in normal range so I don’t think that was the problem , the cabergoline I tried made side effects even worse , I’m in recovery from drugs and alcohol and when this a problem last year I ended up in a relapse so I’ve very cautious around trying anything again incase this happens , also just very curious to why it happened ?

Thanks Ryan

Was this trt through a clinic? What are your testosterone, estrogen and prolactin numbers off testosterone?

Usually estrogen is to blame as when it gets high prolactin follows, but in your case yours is good. I personally suffer from high(er) prolactin when on test, not high like yours, but in the 400s. And I do get lowering of the libido as a result, compared to not taking testosterone.
When I am off, even with lowish testosterone in the 400s i am relatively fine libido wise, although i am tired and ordinarily get bouts of depression in the evening.


So far the best fix was to run a little masteron alongside test. I didnt test prolactin on test/mast, but i definitely was in a better mood and had better libido. On primo now and similar benefits as masteron, but without extra aggression in the gym and sporadic angry mood.


Prolactin is expected to go up some anytime you shut down lh/fsh as they do compete somewhat at the pituitary. But like I said, aside from keeping estrogen in range, which you already are doing, a low dose masteron was the best fix.

Sounds to me you are doing this as a therapy and not as a cruise, so i wouldnt go with standard cruise test/mast doses and try to find lowest effective dose of mast. You can even lower the test, and try something 80/40 test/mast split. Shouldnt really have any negative impact on the bloodwork keeping androgen load the same, but still check lipids.

80/40 may seem too low test dosbut remember masteron is also an androgen. You can always increase both slightly, or change ratios if inadequate. Id est 100/20 if e2 gets too low etc.

If you are going through a clinic masteron is not an option as its not fda approved.

Vitamin B6, Vitex Agnus and L-Dopa may help as otc solution.
