Top 5 Reasons Men Quit Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) 

It's amazing to hear how TRT has positively impacted your life and well-being!

Thanks for your service my fellow vet. Sounds like TRT is working great for you, waa curious if you had to take any aromatase inhibitors for high estrogen symptoms? Thanks!

Wellbutrin is not an SSRI and May have lost I’ve benefits for preserving dopamine and May help with fat loss. Testosterone will help If you are low or suboptimal and may work synergistically. Talk to your GP or treating doctor before discontinuing any medications previously prescribed as sown need to be weaned off carefully.

Hair?is it gone

@@davidzaragoza9732 whys everyone so concerned with hair loss? balding is a masculine trait. it means you have good hormone levels. just shave it and look like goldberg, guy looks great bald

@@davidzaragoza9732 I've been on it for 8 months and so far no noticeable hair loss. Even if it does start receding in the near future I can't 100% blame the TRT. I'm in my mid 40s so it's gonna happen eventually. Plus, I already buzz my head down real short anyways so it won't be a big deal to me. Anyways, i'm so glad I started takin this shit. Love having levels in the 700s as opposed to 200 like I had before. Had all sorts of issues that are now gone because of this stuff. Been working great for me so far.

@@davidzaragoza9732ive been on a gram of testosterone for a year! No hair loss and im prone to hairloss.. stop being so scared of taking a little testosterone

What positives and Negatives did you experience and is it sustainable

Is Dave in Australia at all if so wear about thanks im looking at wanting to go on trt replacement therapy.

What does your protocol look like? I inject 100 mg test cip every 8 day’s currently and that keeps me from having the drop off I was experiencing on a bigger dose less frequently

I'm glad you found the video helpful! It's important to give things another chance and not give up too soon. Keep up the good work and I hope you continue to see improvements!

It's not necessary. You can boost it naturally.

Not possible,

This unicorn of feeling something from TRT as if it’s a stimulant is causing some to think TRT aid not working. TRT will be subtle in some especially if they are other co-mortifies like hypothyroidism that is under-treated, depression tested with SSRIs, or if lifestyle changes haven’t been made along with TRT. Sometimes looking at Hormones like allopreganolone May help sometimes. Trt is making an improvement metabolically whether you feel it or not will depend on other factors and your own genetics make up. It’s better to keep going and work on the other causes and issues.

Glad you enjoyed it!

It's great that you're feeling better on TRT and focusing on your well-being. Remember, recovery can have its ups and downs. Your advice about finding the lowest effective dose is wise. Keep up the positive work, and don't be too hard on yourself during tough moments. Progress takes time. Thanks for sharing your experience!

can is ask, how do you use trt? is it in pill form or..?

Are you recovering from a drug habit is that what you meant? Opiates can kill testosterone for sure maybe other stuff to.

Are yours private or NHS?

That's fantastic to hear! It's amazing how much of a positive impact TRT can have on your overall well-being.

trt cause thyroid issues ?

Sometimes the thyroid also needs to be treated as there is an overlap in symptoms between hypothyroidism and testosterone deficiency

@@adamsuleiman5635 No. But it often is a thyroid issue that is ignored, and TRT is given to make people feel better.

What’s your testosterone, prolactin. Oestradiol, and shbg levels? That’s a good start.

Testosterone won’t help those issues

Listen ive been taking trt for like 6 or 7 month's. I will say this i do feel better my thoughts are clearer and my workouts i can see gains. But i will take 500 ml then i will take 4 two five weeks off and not take anything. I can really tell about the 4th week off in my work outs. It effects everyone a little different just be sure to check your blood pressure

@@iamthefiremanjj It's not necessarily that it "directly" helps with that "stuff". For instance simply having a little more energy allows you to be more active which means more fulfillment which means less depression. Just follow the logic.

I think it will help you with anxiety and drive. It makes doing and building things feel "good" again

Sounds like a great outcome

)So you became a dick with legs and feet. Walking around just 💪💪 ======I> 🤜🤜🤜🤜🤜🤜 🐱🐱🐱🐱

It's great that you've noticed positive changes on TRT. Balancing hormone therapy with regular blood tests is a wise approach. Keep monitoring your progress, and if you're not feeling your best, discussing adjustments with your healthcare provider is key. Prioritise your overall well-being.

Sometimes being able to accept this can help you move forward. You can live an optimised life on TRT.

Your doctors never talked about post cycle therapy? Clomid, enclomiphene, hcg, things of that nature?

This 100%. I was on for 9 years (nebido). I stopped in Jan, using HMG, HCG and Enclomiphene as I want to have another child. Still wake up with boners and haven't noticed change in libido.

@@senorpepper3405 likely not, they rarely do.

It’s a good look

Too much TRT

Name an alternative that isn't a comb over.

What's your point lol

Is it a byproduct of too much T, or does it typically happen to all men taking T. I'm most curious about this side effect

Not everyone on SSRIs have a miserable time with SSRIs but more often we have seen men who are on SSRIs tend to have a more blunted response or improvement in symptoms after starting TRT compared to those who do not. That's only obersvational from men we have seen.

@@balancemyhormones I feel that in my case the TRT may have amplified my existing anxiety to an unmanageable point. Without adjusting my TRT further down, I started on the SSRI again and within two weeks I felt 100% better. I wish I didn't need it, but it's working...

I experienced the exact same thing, been on trt for 2.5 yrs, prefer to be on trt plus ssri than just trt alone, too much anxiety without the ssri

@@honedanny28 Hi how is going ssri + trt? I m on lexapro 20 mg only. After covid I had a huge depression /anxiety too so my doc put me on lexapro again. Now my urologist gonna make some blood test to check my t levels and prolactin. I dont know how to convince her that my libido is lost. I dont know what to do

The people I know who went on SSRI did so because of terrible anxiety and uncontrollable negative thoughts. But these people also drank at least one pot of coffee per day, including drinking coffee late into the night. All the symptoms they were trying to erase happened to be symptoms of too much caffeine (AKA caffeine-induced psychosis). I had a similar experience working nights when I started drinking massive amounts of coffee to stay awake. In the following weeks I had trouble sleeping, felt haunted by bad memories that I couldn't turn off, and had extreme anxiety and fear. I also kept beating myself up (mentally) for dumb mistakes I'd made in the past. It was hell! When I realized these symptoms were being caused by guzzling coffee, I cut back to 2 cups of coffee within 4 hours of waking up. The symptoms vanished almost immediately. This makes me wonder if perhaps a lot of the people taking SSRI drugs were caffeine addicts who didn't understand what was causing their suffering.

Thanks P, for watching our videos. I will look into potential future content that you requested. Not all men need to stop TRT in order to preserve fertility. Some men can add gonadotropins concurrently to their TRT and still maintain a level of fertility. According to Dr Ramasamy a Urologist in Miami, "HCG is a safe and efficacious alternative or adjunct to TRT in men desiring to preserve fertility while treating their hypogonadism." Transl Androl Urol 2018;7(Suppl 3):S348-S352.

@@balancemyhormones thanks for the feedback! That's good to hear. I did not know that, much appreciated

What would be suboptimal numbers for Thyroid to be considered hypothyroidism? Traditional bloodwork can vary from optimal level panels

Why did your T level drop 40% in 12 mi the? What can explain this?

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you appreciate the metaphors in my videos. 😊

That's great that you're taking steps to prioritize your health and well-being! It's never too late to start taking care of yourself.

253 is at the lower end. I turned 40 this month and tested at 472 - all natural, just a great diet, lifestyle and a few supplements.

Side effects can be challenging, especially with hair loss and acne. It's crucial to communicate these concerns with your healthcare provider. They can help adjust your TRT protocol or suggest additional measures to manage side effects while optimising the benefits of hormone therapy. Open communication is key

how many mgs is that

I'm no doctor, but it sounds like you may have severe insulin resistance. I suggest watching videos by Dr. Ken Berry, who is a proponent of low-sugar, low-carb, "ketogenic" diets. I think you need to change your diet. Cut out sugars, breads, pasta, rices, potatoes, etc., and replace them with lots of vegetables, eggs, etc. And switch to eating much more fatty foods like avocados, cheese, nuts, etc. A lot of people have completely reversed their diabetes AND FIBROMYALGIA using the keto diet. TRT may reduce symptoms of diabetes and fibromyalgia due to reducing some inflammation, but TRT needs to be used along with proper diet and exercise to work the best. Good luck!

It's important to note that TRT requires close monitoring and individualised adjustments to dosage and frequency. Additionally, managing body fat levels can help control estrogen levels as excess body fat can contribute to higher estrogen levels. It's also possible that doctors didn't monitor your estrogen levels closely enough, which could have contributed to the issues you're experiencing. It may be beneficial to speak with a healthcare provider to develop a personalised treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and concerns.

Find a new heart doctor who has a better understanding of testosterone therapy. But always check with your doctor or start TRT under a doctors guidance that has a full picture of your health and conditions.

It won't. You need a doctor with better knowledge of trt.

Testosterone is not important and is even detrimental to you heart health. You have congestive heart failure dude focus on that.

171 geeesh you’re lucky you don’t have heart disease diabetes and kidney failure all together.

Bro trt is not recommend for people with heart issues. Your doctor is doing a good job not allowing you because you will have clots and d1e. Trt is for healthy men. You’re not healthy! Sorry but I’m not going to sugar coat it like these others telling you to find a new doc. No doc in their right mind would give someone with your heart cond Trt. Stop listening to bro science

I'm glad you found the video helpful! It's great that you're exploring different options to address your symptoms.

How long have you been on it?

It's interesting how different people react to TRT. It seems like everyone's experience can vary. Thanks for sharing your perspective!

@@thysonsacclaim around d 3 to 4 years now. Im now considering coming off it. Ive been mainly carnivore with some fruit for a couple years now and the changes in my body and health have been incredible. Many men report that their test levels go back up when eating this way so I want to see how well I can do on my own. Id rather let my body regulate my hormones its self since it knows how to do it perfectly well after millions of years of evolution. The fact that TRT can cause other blood counts to go up like hematocrit, psa, estradiol etc... tells me that TRT isnt a perfect solution and is throwing a wrench into the works as far as how our bodies regulate many systems on its own. The lass I mess with it and let it work as intended the better I'll feel about it.

Thank you for sharing your experience! It's great to hear that TRT has been making a positive difference in your life, including your well-being and sexual function. Your story can inspire others to persist in seeking help and exploring TRT as a potential solution. Keep up the good work!

When a woman goes to see a doc and asks about contraceptive hormones that affect her hormonal balance - no issues, done on the spot. When a mid-age woman goes to a MD and asks about menopause treatment, everyone takes her serious. When a transgender goes to the doc and asks for higher T to make them more male, no issues. But when a male looking relatively healthy goes to a doc with bloodwork results showing low T, everyone turns him away. Tell me why?! Testosterone is stigmatized, especially when you are a relatively healthy male who really tries to make it, goes to the gym etc. I get that "first do not harm" by Hippocratic school that they go by (and they should), but they can harm a man by providing no treatment. Also, why not implement another quote by another famous philosopher: "It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable" - Socrates. I'd add "of which his body AND MIND" to it, because are minds control our bodies. I'm 34 and for 6 months month by month my T was low (doctor wanted to check results every month). Finally I was referred to a T doctor. He requested another bloodwork and my T was in borderline normal. Canada, low normal range was 8.0, I was @ 8.8, and past few months I was at 4.0 - 5.0. He sees the results and says "your T is perfect, your body is producing, whatever you do keep doing it" and sends me home with nothing. I asked him how about we try TRT to bring it up to mid range together with hcg and see how I feel, he rejected. Again, stigmatized by being a young male, healthy looking, big beard, relatively fit with muscles because I really try my best. I was having issues related to brain fog, overall lack of motivation, no enjoyment of life, anxiety and other things. I was not the same guy as I was in my 20s or very early 30s. Low normal T is not normal for a 34yro, it's ok for a 70-80 yro. I finally gave up and considered underground suppliers but I was worried about their quality. Signed up with an online clinic specialized in T and finally they were the only ones to confirm that my T was not normal for a male my age and offered treatment. They put me on hcg and trt. I'll pickup my prescription drugs in 2-3 days and see how it goes. I asked them what range they'd shoot at and I was told that they taper the levels based on how you feel, not a fixed range but they can't overshoot. Of course for a quite hefty fee but whatever... Enough is enough, I want to push through my life, I want to enjoy it, I want to be THE MAN. Men are not prepared to live in nowadays work, we are supposed to be hunters, running free, fighting to survive, taking care of others. In the meantime, we are usually stuck with out 9-5 jobs with chronic stress, perform at work, come back home, take care of our children and wives, help cleaning up, provide for the family, perform in bed when SHE wants it and maybe it the gym at 11pm after all that. It's not sustainable. On top of that, we are served with food full of hormones and chemicals that lower our T and with water full of female hormones that have not been removed during treatment. It's estimated that T levels in males have dropped by almost half in 50 years and now over 50% of males have low T that is not low due to their age.

What was your dose while on TRT?

Io

@@kadenmac2009 that is a very good question. When you hear guys having issues, in the long run, on TRT, 99% of the time they were on the wrong dose. Generally if the issues are early on they were on too little, lile docs putting a guy on 40mg a week, or 100 once a month. If the guy felt great for 8 months, gained a bunch of muscle while losing a bunch of fat, great libido etc... then at 8 months in he gets ED and feels like poo, then likely he was on too much and his estradiol got really high along with his prolactin. Sometimes TRT mills/clinics will even put guys on 1mg of arimidex a day and crash their estradiol, or other poly pharmacy sillyness. I take only 80mg a week, no other meds, and never have issues. My levels are upper normal on that. Going supra might feel good in the short term, but not long term. Dose matters a lot.

yes indeed. I was on try and had a great life at that time.. sadly some things happened and I had to stop against my wishes for 3 years. I miss the Great days .. but never want to cold turkey and feel like that again .. I know life is very very unlikely to go that way again .. but I fear the downside of stopping for a period of time and having that horrendous experience again. Hormones are serious shit. I rebuilt my body clean but can't reliably screw without blue pills... and I have a super high pressure job with disastrous consequences if I get it badly wrong so I know that extra drive trt gave me would be very useful. Also on anti-anxiety pills... I am certain trt again will help .. but... I guess I still fear the past experience

try elemental zinc and doxycycline it has helped me

whats your protocol?

Dont take accutane

Sorry to hear that

Try Winlevi man

Contact your GP or go to an urgent care to see if they can investigate this further. Perhaps an ecg and an echocardiogram can help rule out anything going on with your heart.

1500? WTF. I'm at 725 on average and i'm happy with it. Of course, I have no choice to be happy with it because my urologist isn't going to give me a higher dose with an average in the 700s. Maybe I should lie to him and say I have erection issues lol. I just don't want him sticking anymore cameras down my urethra though. That really sucked when the motherfucker did that last year when checking my bladder.

100% agree. I’m 53 and I’m good with a total of around 700. Anymore and I don’t feel good. How often are you pinning subq a week?

Question, was " I went from 50 mgs to 80, 100, 120 and 160mg" your weekly dossage?

It's great that TRT has worked well for you over 20 years without hair loss. Every medication has its pros and cons, and individual responses can vary. Continue prioritising your health and working closely with your healthcare provider. 👨‍⚕️💪

Testosterone is very addictive, and when you try to get off You'll have withdrawal symptoms.

Most guy's I know get testosterone at gyms illegally, never caring about full scale blood testing or dangers to their bodies. Should be prescribed by a urologist only

Testosterone testing is all about timing if you test too soon after an injection and not at trough the levels will show too high.

Bro relax, workout , its Thailand, smoke some Thai , it will chill you down

Whats ur dose? whats ur protocol?

It's great that you haven't experienced any unwanted changes. Communication with your wife is key in situations like this.

It sounds like you made a tough but necessary decision for your well-being.

It's impressive to hear about your active lifestyle at 82 and your continued good libido. It's certainly possible to have a healthy libido even with age-related declines in testosterone. However, low testosterone levels can affect energy levels and muscle strength. Since you mentioned that you used TRT in the past and felt weaker with lower energy after stopping, it might be worth considering a conversation with a healthcare provider. They can evaluate your hormone levels and overall health to see if resuming TRT or exploring other options could help with your energy levels and overall well-being. Remember, age can play a role in how our bodies respond to various factors, so it's essential to seek professional guidance to determine the best approach for your individual needs. Thanks for sharing your experience!

​@@balancemyhormones I appreciate the response. Thank you. I think I will get a blood test first, to see what my numbers are. I don't need a doctor down here to do that. I can read and understand the blood tests down here without a doctor. I have several older tests results and have become familiar with all the terminology for the things to be concerned with. I have researched the subject for over 20 years. The only issue I had was the hematocrit becoming a little elevated at 54. I was able to get it down by giving blood once or twice a year. That, along with the availability that I started having a problem with and my advanced age, I felt longevity was more important than being strong. There is a lot of black-market stuff down here and you don't know what you're getting half the time, even from doctors. Thank you very much.

@@balancemyhormones I know more than the doctors down here know. I stop using once in a while until my testicles return to normal. I know there are things available to stop the atrophy, but it is hard to find down here. I'm fine. Feel good and still train. Just not as strong. Thank you much for the response.

It's important to listen to your body and find what works best for you. Wishing you all the best on your journey!

It's optimal to do everything in moderaion. Having a 3 month holiday shouldn't preclude you from TRT as TRT is for life. It's good to find some balance with your drinking. Perhaps you can minimise your drinking when on holiday and still have an enoyable time. One thing to keep in mind is that excessive alcohol consumption can interfere with the effectiveness of TRT and may worsen certain side effects. If you do decide to proceed with TRT, it may be helpful to have an open conversation with your healthcare provider about your alcohol consumption and how it may affect your treatment. They can provide guidance on how to minimize potential risks and ensure that you are getting the most out of your TRT. Additionally, it's important to keep in mind that TRT is not a magic solution and should be combined with other healthy lifestyle choices, such as regular exercise and a balanced diet. This can help to optimize the benefits of TRT and reduce the risk of negative side effects. Overall, it's important to approach TRT with a balanced and informed perspective, and to work closely with a qualified healthcare provider to ensure that you are getting the most out of your treatment while minimizing potential risks.

It's rare, but some individuals might not feel significant effects even with elevated testosterone levels. Factors like androgen receptor sensitivity, other underlying health issues, or even psychological factors can play a role. It's essential to work closely with a knowledgeable healthcare provider to explore all possibilities and ensure optimal treatment. Always prioritize individualized care and comprehensive evaluations.

The studies I've seen show that 80-90% of users recover back to their normal levels before cycle but it typically takes 6-9 months. Also, if you're just wanting to do a "cycle", you shouldn't stay on for a year straight. Cycles are typically only ran for 12 weeks at a time.

I'm sorry to hear about your struggles with TRT. It's important to prioritize your health and well-being above all else. Consulting with a medical professional would be the best course of action for guidance on how to safely transition off TRT and regain your natural hormone levels.

How would you know you are predisposed or not to hair loss? Apparently you are if you have male pattern hair loss. Stopping TRT will not prevent further loss over time. If you are deficient in testosterone and you stop taking your TRT then hair loss would be the least of your worries as there are other health issues linked to testosterone deficiency that happen over time.

It's important to advocate for your health and discuss treatment options with your doctor.

I strongly recommend you volunteer . It gets you out of yourself. Get into therapy . Get a male therapist. You are 100% worth it . Every person has a unique purpose and the world 🌎 needs you

I've been on ssris ( citalapram ) for 8 yrs I've recently tapered off been off them for 4 weeks now I'm still getting withdrawal symptoms but they are subsiding,,, I've recently found I've got low t and I'm suffering with pssd hopefully I'll start trt in the very near future so I'll see how I get on ,, Get off the ssris mate I thought I'd never be able to do it and granted I've been through he'll to do it but I'm so glad I did ,, Good luck mate

I was on Lexapro (escitalopram) for about 12 years. Got off them cold turkey at 33. Never felt better honestly - my libido is through the roof, test is 472 (all natural at 40 years old) - SSRI's have their place, however Doctor's tend to hand them out like candy in a liberal manner without addressing the root cause of anxiety/depression. If I were you I would wean off and overcome the SSRI's before starting TRT.

What sides?

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for your question. If you are experiencing insane muscle cramps after an intramuscular injection of testosterone, there could be a few different factors at play. It's possible that the injection was not given properly, causing the fluid to leak out and irritate surrounding tissues. Dehydration or electrolyte imbalances could also be contributing factors. In rare cases, an allergic reaction could cause muscle cramps and other symptoms. If you're experiencing severe or persistent muscle cramps, it's important to speak with your healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment. They will be able to assess your symptoms and provide guidance on next steps.

Tiredness can be a symptom of an underactive thyroid, so it's definitely worth discussing this with your doctor and getting some blood work done.

Sleep apnea can be a concern with TRT. Regular monitoring and discussing any sleep-related issues with your healthcare provider are crucial for a balanced approach.

TRT is not a cycle. If you were self medicating then you did not do TRT you did a cycle albeit most likely a small cycle. If you were prescribed TRT from a clinic then you must certainly needed it and coming off will cause you to revert to you former symptoms. If you used TRT when you didnt need it as in having no discernable symptoms and then added testosterone thinking more was better then thats not ideal but perhaps you function better with more optimal levels. If you are experiencing testicular atrophy then yes and exogenous teststorone whether its TRT or a cycle can do this but it can be managed with HCG though its never quite as good for size as your own intact HPTA axis producing LH, FSH and downstream endogenous and intratesticular testosterone.

One thing is that going to the gym 7 days a week is not feasible long term. Especially when you are in your 50s. Consider taking breaks, do something for yourself only.

You can be there or ride by the long term side effects from low testosterone including brittle bones, loss of libido and muscle mass, and risk of metabolic syndrome leading to cv disease.

Hair loss is a common concern for many people. While it can be a result of various factors, it's best to consult with a medical professional to determine the underlying cause and explore potential solutions.

Thanks for the comment but many of the issues you mention can be improved with 1.hcg or HMg 2. Dose change 3. Finding the right dose 4. Scrotal creams for those who don’t prefer to inject

@@balancemyhormones I'm on TRT for a year now. HCG my dokter won't give it to mee I'm on 113 a week every other day. Al my lvl's are good only my cholesterol is to high so I lowered my dose but I'm gone wait for 2more month get my blood tested and then switch to every day Injection. I would love to try HCG.

@@balancemyhormonesto be honest who wants to put cream on his balls and wait for like 4hours before you can go take a swim or have sex. And do that 2times a day . I'm ok with my insuline needle

@@balancemyhormones and thank you for the comment.

@@balancemyhormones can i recover my natty after a year therapy of trt and maybe have trt when im older and can afford it im 31 and i used hcg and have clomid and nolva ?

Absolutely! Estradiol plays a crucial role in hormone balance and overall health. It's definitely something to keep an eye on if you're considering TRT.

Thank you

I understand your concerns about dependency and the influence of big pharma. It's important to explore all options and prioritize natural remedies and a healthy lifestyle before considering TRT.

I totally get it, no one wants to lose their hair. It's a common concern for many people.

All medical interventions have a cost. Vitamin supplement, gym memberships, etc. TRT can cost around an latte or two a day so it's more affordable than most think.

Having a loss of libido/ sex drive can happen regardless of TRT is can be confounding and frustrating to those it happens to. Many men assume that being on TRT will fix all these problems. Stress and how you deal with it can have a profound effect on a man's libido even when on testosterone.

yup

I understand how hair loss can be discouraging, but remember, it doesn't define your worth or success.

@@balancemyhormones ok. But then does testosterone treatment redefine one’s worth? The bottom line is the side effects from any optional medical procedure need to be evaluated.

Ideally yes. Ideally men shouldn’t need testosterone replacement therapy but we don’t live in an ideal world and exposure to environmental toxins and endocrine disrupters is real so when trying to restore one Testosterone is not possible then TRT offers hope for men and women.

@@balancemyhormones seems like everyones on them these days ,i think its a build bigger muscle for most,all of a sudden 20yr olds need it.Anyway i'll stick to my less egotistical plan im 62 im in 450- 600 range depending on the time of day.My urologist told me about the warnings of it..good luck.

If you don’t need testosterone and you have no symptoms then of course no one is trying to convince you that you should start it. So many men do suffer needlessly who are not blessed with optimal levels and have no symptoms related to low Testosterone. Studies show that blood levels do not necessarily correspond with symptoms.
