Hello Dylan,
So I’ll try and sum up my weird situation real quick. I had a bad back injury a couple of years ago and I was placed on a low dose opioid pain killer for several months. When I tried to go back to work I was having terrible withdrawal symptoms and I was placed on Subutex so I could function at work and the plan was to wean off the subutex over a couple of months. Flash forward to a year later and the subutex is extremely hard to get off of. But while on this medication I’ve felt lethargic and my gym workouts have provided almost no results. I was referred to an Endocrinologist and my T levels were 112 the initial blood draw (taken in the afternoon) and 320 the second (which was taken in the morning). I don’t know if I had low T to begin with or if it’s this medication causing it, but I was placed on 100 mg of test c for the first month and they bumped up to 200 mg which I’ve been on since the past 7 weeks. I started watching your videos the other day and I’m starting to have concerns that risks may not be worth the reward. I’m not sure what’s causing my low T but I’m only 23 years old I know you are very against young people taking TRT let alone at this dosage. I feel better than I ever have and I’m gaining muscle and have more energy than ever. I plan to keep weaning off the subutex, but I feel the same withdrawal symptoms as the pain killers as I taper down. My question is, is it worse to have low T or is it worst to be on TRT at my age? Any input would be appreciated. Thank you!
