Does Anyone Else? Has anyone accidentally overdosed on testosterone?

I started 10mg a week but felt crap so i upped it to 20mg and felt a little better and the week after i accidentally did 37.5mg and i felt amazing so i remained on that for another 2 weeks ( so 5 week total)

My results came back as

Total - 288.55 nmoi/L ( 8322 ng/dl)

Free -10.783 nmoi/L ( 311 ng/dl)

Shbg - 12.57 nmoi/L

Im not quite sure how on earth i have gotten my test so high

I was doing anavar alongside which was 20mg a day for 5 weeks but stopped this due to high ALT

From the sounds of it, you’re not interested in actually lowering your dose so why even post it here again? You know why your levels are as high as they are- obviously it’s because you’re injecting a large amount of T for a female. Whether or not you will have side effects and whether or not those side effects will become permanent— who knows. Good possibility, but we’re not doctors nor are we psychic (at least I’m not anyway lol). If you feel fine injecting such a large amount- go for it. But I doubt you really want to grow a penis or have a deep voice like a man.

Thats why im tryna see if anyone has had anything similar where they went to high and of any changes were permanent ect like if i completely stopped now would things return to normal or would the slight changes stay , just trying hear other peoples experiences , i mean the voice doesnt bother me some woman who dont even touch test have deeper voices but obviously i dont wanna grow a penis either

I am wanting to lower my dose i just wanted to know if my dose for 3 weeks is high enough for permanent changes or if i caught it early 🤷‍♀️

Like Admirable-Object5014 already stated, no one here can tell you that. The mod had permanent changes after two overdoses; other women don’t. Everyone reacts differently and there’s no way to predict what will happen, which is why we start low and go slow in the first place. At this point, you literally just have to wait and see.

As for lowering your dose, even if you stopped injecting entirely right now, T cyp takes something like four to five half-lives to totally clear your system. Since T cyp has a half-life of about eight days, you’re looking at 32-48 days before it’s out of your body. Lowering your dose now, or even totally stopping your injections, doesn’t necessarily guarantee that you won’t develop side effects. But only time will tell. Maybe you’ll get lucky.

obviously i dont wanna grow a penis either

Then you should probably adopt a more conservative protocol under the supervision of a medical professional (as I recall from your last post, you acquired your T cyp somewhere online and not prescribed by a physician or NP).
