I am 33 and starting treatment for low testosterone. I have been told being on MMT is what has caused this. My levels are:
Total Testosterone= 107 ng/dL
% Free Testosterone= 25 pcg/mL
Sex Hormone Binding Glb= 16 nmol/L

I have been reading how so many people are on so much higher dosages than I have been put on and have found that my levels are quite low for my age. My regimen is 200mg Testosterone Cypionate injection once every 2 weeks. I have been reading about people being on 700mg+ once a week. Is my doctor just humoring me or is this a typical dosage schedule? Id like to add that before my MMT started I was around 130-135lbs. @ 5ft 10in tall and built like a gymnast with 0 body fat. Then when I started MMT I went from that to my current 168-175lbs. @ 5ft 9in tall. In 5 years I have lost almost all of my body hair, my dong seems an inch shorter and never gets completely erect but when it does it is almost painful, Im assuming because its not often it does get hard and thats due to me NEVER being interested in sex. I went from having a perfectly sculpted body that required almost no work to maintain to being porky pig that cant walk to the mailbox without wanting to die. The depression gets so bad that I have had 2 occasions in the past where I spent hours crying with my pistol in my mouth. I just kind of worry that if I am not being taken seriously by the doctor and he has me on a low dose just to humor my concerns then I need to let him know that I know my dose is not consistent with my problem. I am so so worried that I am never going to feel better. I have not really enjoyed doing anything for over 5 years now. I havent even tried to masturbate in almost a month let alone try having sex. The sex thing is killing my relationship as well. I mean who wants somone that has not one bit of desire to have sex and when that person tries to they can never ever finish. These headaches and light sensitivity suck too. Is there anything I can look for to signal me that this treatment is working? I mean, what should I feel first as far as feeling better goes? Hopefully I can atleast have the willpower to wank it soon and enjoy that. I have never in my life been more miserable than I am now. :tear:

How long have you been on 200mg every 2 weeks? Give that some time. If you notice a fluctuation in moods before and after injections, try doing 100mg once a week. 200mg once every 2 weeks is a pretty typical dose from a Dr. You may have to talk him into 100mg every week.
