I believe @Maveric78 has some merit in his saying that testosterone over 1000 might be too high. Idk what scale is your lab using and why normal range is so high… Of course I would check free T first. Maybe consult another specialist… But I noticed that American doctors would supplement T much higher than European doctors who are more conservative. Does any one know why are American doctors willing to go that high? And why American T scale goes so much higher than European? I understand Agetron, that you trust your doctor and that you feel fine on TRT. I am just questioning the rationale behind supplementing that high. I also found that:
" Just like it can be too low, your testosterone can also be too high, and that’s equally problematic. When your testosterone levels are getting into the 1,000 up to the 1,500 ng/dL range—and staying up there—that’s too high, says McDevitt.
Though you may feel great in the short term, in truth, you’re doing more harm than good.
“Your body will start converting excess testosterone into estrogen to help compensate,” says McDevitt. “Estrogen is a proliferative hormone, meaning it likes to get cells to grow. Too much estrogen in a male body is not a good thing; it can cause erectile dysfunction, or low libido.”
Elevated levels can also strain the heart cause other muscles and ligaments damage. “If you think about bodybuilders who are doping, they always have injuries and this is why,” says McDevitt. “It’s just too much.”
Too much testosterone can also cause hypertension, or high blood pressure. It’ll cause the red blood cells to overproduce which can, in turn, create a clot in your blood vessels. You want smooth blood flow, so an increase in red blood cells could easily cause stagnation.
In addition to these, having too-high testosterone levels put you at risk for cancer, cardiac complications, and irritability."
and watched the Peter Attia on the subject… few videos, I can’t find the one to post link, but he said that sadly most doctors are clueless about TRT…
