Does Hydrocodone affect Testosterone Levels/Use?

[HOTFIRE]

I am taking 200 mg of Tesosterone Cypionate about twice a week. 1mg shot. of 200 per ml.
This was prescribed for HRT. I also take 112 mcg of Synthroid for a low thyroid.

My question is...I havent seen the exact gains that I expected......I was wondering if anyone knew if Taking 10mg/320 Hydrocodone daily for a bulging disk affects this?
I also was prescribed an anti inflamatory drug. I believe its called Relafin.

Any help would be awesome.

Ohh its has been a little over 5 weeks. I started July 1st on the cypionate.

I would ONLY use the RALAFIN if absolutely needed.
Careful with the HYDROCODONE too,,it can become addicitive.

400mg of CYP seems like an weekly dosage for an HRT script. At five weeks in you should just be starting to see some strength increases. You should have noticed bloating and water weight increase by the 2nd - 3rd week.
The Hyrdo' would eventually/potentially lower T levels in a normal person, but you're not normal. You're taking 400mg of CYP a week. Not a factor for you.
More likely the reason you need the hydro (pain and bulging disk) are more of a factor in the lack of gains.

I never feel right the next day after taking some of that. I feel very lethargic and my workouts suffer. I don't mess with that crap anymore...like previously stated, only use it if absolutely necessary.

It will cause hardship on your liver and cause irregularity. Which holds toxins in your body causing you to gain weight. I took them for a while after my surgeries and I can assure you that if you take about 4 per day you will be limp.

I started getting limp just taking 1 per day after surgery. It's too much of an addictive drug, so I have stayed away from it even after surgery lately.

I think I agree with most of the posts. However, I do LOVE it! Just one a day 10 mg/320 really helps for minor aches and pains....kinda relaxes me. But I never was too sure how it affects/affected my T levels. Thyroid also.

Ten years of straight hydrocodone/oxycodone abuse (over 700mg a day the last 2 years straight out of those 10), killed my dopamine and affected my natural test levels bringing it down to around 200. One pill a day IS NOT going to do anything to you that you have to worry about as far as test levels, but, my addiction started out with only one pill a day... Something far more to be worried about, an addiction starting, rather than if it affects your test levels. Clean now for 4+yrs.

stay away from Opiotes

addiction takes all but three 3 - 5 days to set in ( not mental as so much as physiological)

and when you come off its worst then PCT crash

Fuck all of those narcotic opiate pain killers....I was in a car accident a while back and was prescribed a grip of oxy...Not only did i lose my mass in record time, but i didnt even think about working out when i healed up...All i thought about was how to get more..Body building has no room for opiates and for that matter, all narcotics...

If you're taking Test as HRT, then it won't matter. The way opiates lower testosteron is by affecting the feedback and lowering LH. So if you're on HRT, you're probably shut down anyway, so it won't matter.

Then there are all of the other issues mentioned which are true. It can screw with your head more than anything. Natural opiate-like chemicals in your body help motivate you, so substituting with a stronger version from a pill will hurt your drive to workout too. If you take only one or two a week, this isn't the same issue...

The absolute worst time to take opiates on a regular basis is when you are trying to recover from a cycle during PCT. It will make it damn near impossible to recover.

Yes opiates will lower your Testosterone big time its a easy way to cheat the blood test to get on HRT just take Methadone and talk to your doc and have your blood checked and it will be very low dont recommend this but yes opiates,marijuana,beer will alter your testosterone greatly and if you continue to take these meds while on HRT the Hrt could not work as well for you

how does all this correlate to lowering protein synthesis? I was an iv opiate addict for four years. I asked my doc why my muscles had atrophied and he said the narcotics along with acetimenophen and ibuprofen lowered protein synthesis by as much as 75%. Not to mention i lost my family, my job (football coach), everything i owned, jail, detoxing, withdrawals. Side effects of gear are fucking nothing like withdrawing from heroin or oxycodone. I can tell by this guys posts there is definitely a level of dependence both physiologically and mentally. Dont take narcotics, i blew out my shoulder at the beginning of the year and refused any type of pain killer, i wont even take aleve. And on a side note, on injection days i get that junkie itch and wait for my shit to "kick in" after i pin. Crazy. Even after bein off that shit a year. Today i see it as ablessing that i get to feel the pain. Anyway, protein sythesis? thoughts?
