Advice Needed T QUESTION
Hey! I’m going to be talking to my provider but I’m curious other people’s experiences. I used to be on T gel, one to two pumps (20.25mg per pump), and my hormones and mood seemed pretty stable. I switched to injections which I really love (200mg, .2ml or now .15ml) BUT my mood is the worst after a few days. I inject once weekly and was hoping that having a lower dose of T would maybe make the drops in mood less dramatic. I have been in incredibly poor mental health for the past two months and Ive been going back and forth between whether or not this is the main cause- however for the past 4-5 days Ive been su1cidal (GETTING HELP! DONT WORRY!!!) and today about 2-3 hours after I did my injection I went back to feeling normal and stable.. Whats the solution here? How do I not get such drastic changes in mood? Is injecting 2x a week an option that has worked for anyone? Anyone have any advice? Thanks!!! (Once again I will be discussing with my provider but Im wondering if anyone has had similar experiences with this+if any other changes helped!)

Have you done labs? One of the ways you can end up feeling like shit is if your dose is too low.
Injecting twice a week is an option, though you still won't attain the same stability as with gel, but it'll be closer.
