Testosterone Overload!

Hi ladies,

I got a call from the compound pharmacist and she says my testosterone level was the highest she's ever seen. So I asked why was I having low testosterone symptoms? She said because when it gets so high it shuts down the testosterone receptors and gives you symptoms of too low, anyone ever heard of this? So now I'm not taking that anymore and she also said I don't seem to be able to handle bi-est cream, I get overloaded so now I'm going to a patch, any advice in the patch area? I was only using 0.2 per day. well anyway any advice, suggestions or past experience would be great.

Thanks

Wow! Curious...did you have side effects?

It's all about balance. How much testosterone were you using? And for how long? I use testosterone, initially I used it daily but than cut back to every other day and than to once a week.

Hi tml & Kim,
The side effects I was having wer'e no libido of any kind, my face is breaking out more than when I was a teenager and I have alot more anger than I've had since before my hyst, and major hot flashes, it's been great fun. My daughter is getting married in Oct. and I really don't feel very spunky, I guess I'll have to wait and see what happens with the diferent doses.

thanks,
Linda
