HCG monotherapy and Methadone maintenance any hope?

[butterfinger15]

I got tested and found I have low-t. I know usually testosterone is given, but my doctor wanted to put me on HCG monotherapy to stimulate natural testosterone production. Given the effects of methadone I am thinking natural production will not work while on methadone, thus making hcg a candy supplement alone. Is this accurate or will hcg overpower, bypass the mdone and stimulate something. I would just like to know is there a chance it could work. I am working on getting off the done though, so hoping for the best.

Even if your methadone has caused you low test, hcg still should do something. Did you tell him you were on methadone ?
tbh, I would refuse to put hcg in my body to treat low test unless there is something preventing me from injecting testosterone.

Guido will be the person to ask regards m'done..

Doesn't answer your question directly, but here's a few interesting studies on hCG mono-therapy and related articles on testosterone..
