Friend of mine is 50 energy low lathargic...doesn't workout or anything. .. went to dr told him he tired all time has no energy...no questions asked no tests or blood work just gives him as cript for 10ml 200mg watson test cyp... said being vial to office once a month for shot...200mg monthly seems real low dose? What you guys think? Also can't believe he just gives him that no tests or anything

did he even explain to your friend that he will have to stay on forever? no bloodwork done to know what is going on ? not surprised at all.. doctors don't know anything except how to write a prescription. doc probably gets a kickback from the good people at watson pharma

Yea no bloodwork no tests at all.. didn't explain anything to him...just said ur 50 yrs old sure your test levels low herez your script just bring in one a month

This doc obviously has no clue about what the proper way to implement HRT/TRT is for anyone. That dose is way low,and getting a shot once per month isn't going to cut it. Weekly injections are ideal, and I wouldn't go less than at least every other week. The doc should also be doing bloods to assess where to put his dose, and adjust accordingly. Its amazing at just how clueless a lot of these "doctors" are.

It's not that it's low -- especially for some who doesn't work out -- but one shot a month is stupid. Too much the first week, not enough the 3rd and 4th week. The doctor is obviously clueless.

if i ever went HRT i would go for test decanoate every 10 days. this way it would be 3 injections per month.. not that bad at all

That wouldn't be bad with less injections and a longer ester, but I wonder how many docs can prescribe the decaonate ester vs the more common cypionate or sustanon

hopefully by then anti aging clinics will be more common where you can request what you want... not looking to get on for another 30 years minimum knock on wood..

I think thats crazy. With one TEST CYP injection by day 10 your levels will dramatically have already dropped.
Its like a roller coaster with this method,,,high peaks,,,,low peaks.
I think you need to shoot for every 5-7 days. For TRT 100MG would be a good start.

I told him hit one cc every two weeks..be much more effective.. doesn't like needles or I'd tell him 1/2cc every week
