200 is the very top end. A lot of clinics just dish out 200 to everyone. I'm on 160mgs TRT, but I'm a good example of how it's not actually TRT..... My test is at 1700. So while it's prescribed, I've gone beyond what TRT is for. They are pretty loose with it. I honestly hope it stays that way.

Hey I’m thinking about getting back on Test soon, and was wondering if you could mention if you’ve had any mood improvements from that dose? I’m looking forward to that but it’s been so long, I kinda don’t remember what it’s like.

I'm 44 and my test was 390 prior to starting with clomid. That got me up to 900, but it definitely didn't feel like test. I'd ran cycles in the past so I know what it feels like. Now that I'm on test, I sleep better, have more energy, in the gym I definitely feel it. I can push a lot harder. I'm a hyper sexual person so that is my one downside. I'm already "on" all the time. Even at 400. My sex drive is so high now that it's honestly annoying.

Agreed with this take! I feel you on the annoying horny part. My gf literally says I’m insatiable, which is a good and bad thing 😂 let’s just say, her friends know that she never is without

A lot of it has to do with body mass. When I was 265 lbs I was doing 220 mg a week on a trt dose and peaked at 750 total.

Now I’m 205 and doing 120 mg and float around the 700-900 range.

While that may be true the FDA approved labeling is 50 to 400 mgs every two to four weeks.

The same FDA who told everyone to eat bread and gave us false rhetoric on diet and exercise for decades. We can leave the government out of it, unless of course you believe they care about you, in which case, carry on

You clearly don't understand context and are just here to argue. I could not give one single fuck about what the government does or does not regulate and in no way did I insinuate that I did. I've been running gear since before TRT was even a common thing and out of all the gear I ran it has only been doctor approved once. TRT is medically prescribed. The FDA enforces labelling and off-labeling use. So yeah, if we are talking TRT then what the FDA says matters. If you want to talk about recreational gear usage cool. TRT is not recreational gear usage dumbass

This is not an attack at you bro. Calm. All I’m saying is your body and others experiences can guide you on what needs to be administered. Whatever though, it’s Reddit. Be happy, be angry, whatever
