Trynna figure out what the effect of opioids is on testosterone based on frequency of use and dosage. I'm making a run at my sport of choice, and going to see how far I can take it over the next three-four years. Want to decide if it would be better for my performance to completely quit dihydrocodeine for that duration, or if instead I should focus on smoking less weed for my lungs.
Doing a couple lazy google searches, I've found studies quantifying the effect of opioids on testosterone between opioid using population and non-users(something crazy like 50% suppresion of testosterone), but I can't find anything specific in regards to frequency and dosing. I usually take 120mg of DHC every 7-10 days, sometimes with a 60-90mg redose.
Anyone that's read-up on the subject, can you tell me if my current use is enough to have such a significant effect on my testosterone? Really appreciate the input
