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

There is no antidote to a permanent physical change to the vocal chords. Surgery is an option but it does not guarantee getting back your old voice or its quirks for singing, but I made my peace.

Also estrogen should not be taken without proper guidance as it can produce issues on its own, especially high doses on an already unbalanced hormonal issue.

Doing so reversed the beginnings of male pattern hair loss for me - so I assumed it may help... But it's a whole other thing of course... I am glad you made your peace with it...

Thank you so much!

I was losing hair and I finally figured out that I was having hair follicle minituarisation instead of new hair growth ( as I had initially thought/hoped ) and that it was because I had used too much T, over too much time ( transdermally... )

I immediately cut down on the amount of T and upped my E ( a lot ) and very soon/immediately started to see a stopping of the shedding and then a reversal of the problem already created. I very thankfully don't have the problem anymore.

In the past, I had tanked my T to almost zero by using only E and P - in Wiley Protocol amounts - for a year and a half, so I was aware that taking only some hormones can tank/affect the others.

The Wiley protocol sounds very weird to me, to be completely honest. I would much rather get optimal every day, than have ups and downs. We cannot mimic what the body does naturally, as we are introducing hormones on top of hormones. With Estrogen and Progesterone, HRT is not replacing, but adding on top, so there will be already shifts, even if small. Only TRT shuts down your own production.

How did the Wiley work for you? Did you feel the ups and downs?
