Comments for LOW TESTOSTERONE

Comments, Questions, and Answers

Question/Comment:

I was rather shocked to see that long-term opiates can affect the endocrine system, specifically create a low testosterone level. As I now have replacement with testosterone cypionate, I feel like a new person. It is important to note too that most endocrinologist I read feel that the effect wains in approximately 8-10 days per injection. Therefore, I am attempting to stabize the "ups and downs" by reducing the frequency of the injections, now to every 10 days, 200mg. Around 6'4"/190 lb., this seems to be ideal for me. I adjusted it myself over the last two months, after reading why I feel that drop off when on a bi-monthly regimine. I have a blood level scheduled to see.
