What's the trick to feeling great on steroids?

so I'm under the impression that all that guys that are huge all seem to have high energy and look and feel great. Especially older men that have bodies of a 20 year old. I'm 28, 198lbs 15%body fat 5"10. Got diagnosed with low t last year. After having terrible luck with 2 doctors I've decided to just take testosterone myself seeing how it was the level of a 60 year old man. But honestly I don't feel much better then I did before. Still tired, not much energy, I am seeing decent strength gains and muscle but that's it. Sex drive and errections are non existent. I did my own bloodwork and should be getting it next week. I live in Indiana so I ordered my own tests. I started a year ago with a doctor at 100mg, and got up to 120mg weekly. Didn't feel any better. Then they put me on hcg, all that did was raise my estrogen really high. So that was through a course of a year. Now I'm getting test my self through a good friend and started at 250mg weekly for a few months and felt ok. Still not what I feel a 28 year old male who eats clean should feel like. For the past 2 months I've been taking 500mg weekly and am extremely tired, still no sex drive throughout he whole process. And weak errections. I'm thinking maybe high
Estrogen again although I'm not having any symptoms like what I had before. Before I had lots of water retention, itchy nipples, and very emotional. Currently I'm only having the no see drive and weak errections. I usually give my self 2-3 months before increasing my dosage to try and figure out where I feel best. Nothing seems to work. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I thought I would be feeling wonderful by now. Especially after being told that my t was so low by my doctor that he wouldn't be surprised
That if I weren't having some andropause symptoms.

If your complaints are not markedly improved at a cycling TT dose of 500mg per week, the problem is NOT hormonally mediated!

Like;

Work related issues
Martial strife
Financial problems
Depression
Anxiety
Etc.

And no amount of AAS provides a remedy for those problems, although many are led to believe TT is some cure all, it is NOT!

Ive anxiety my whole life which causes me added stress. But feeling like shit all the time
And lethargic, no sex drive, is why I wanted to get tested for low t in the first place. Putuitary gland came back find. Just very low t and no reason behind it. At least that's what my doctor told me. Hence why I'm doing my own bloodwork now and getting my own testosterone. Marriage issues are coming from having no sex drive. I have an extremely understanding wife has she knows I take steroids. She just wants me to feel better and have quality of life. I have no more added stress then then normal American. Finances are great.

I'll be posting my labs results as soon as I get them back. The only thing my doctor before was checking was my free testosterone, dheas, and estridol.

I also donate blood every 2 months to keep my red blood count down. Last time I donated they said everything was fine.

"Anxiety", why I think I've heard this all before but, but, but MORE TESTS need to be conducted to search for a nonfunctional as in a HORMONAL cause. NOT!

Good Luck
 
Let me simplify it, follow your doctors advice and cease all this self therapy bc it will only worsen matters IME.
 
I'm currently not seeing a docotor anymore. Reason being is he got my estrogen so high and didn't know how to get it to come down. I ended up taking 4 different medications that he wanted me to take to get my estrogen to come down and couldn't.
 
Then locate another physician bc it's clear you are not qualified to
"Treat thyself" and neither is anyone else!

So now it's a "zinc poisoning issue"
LOL!

Adios
 
I live in a small town. This is the only docotor that i could find. I was sent to and endocrinologist by my family doctor( this was after I stopped going to the hrt doctor I had found) he immediately took my testosterone ( which after researching is dangerous) for 6 weeks and went through hell from stopping cold turkey. Did bloodwork so he could get a baseline and told me I'm fine. My levels weren't even in the "normal" range. So do you see where I'm having issues?!! This is taking a toll on my life, mrriage and work!!
 
You should probably just come off all the drugs and try to find a qualified endocrinologist. Or you could always try some proviron and cialis.

this is good advice. and by the username he make the whores moan. so id take this advice.
