I have been conducting an experiment: After putting down heroin after another 6 month stint of daily use and finishing a self-administered 25 day suboxone taper, I noticed that many of my symptoms (common PAWS symptoms, such as depression, anxiety, fatigue, hopelessness, muscular stiffness, lack of motivation) lined up with many of the symptoms described in "Low-T" pamphlets and ads. I am 31 years old and have felt like my test levels are on the natural decline anyhow, and postulate that the symptoms of Low-T are only exacerbated by PAWS.

Considering this theory, I have obtained and begun self-administering 100mg testosterone propionate via IM injection every 48 hours. So far the results have been no less than stunning on certain days, but occasionally, injection site irritation and low grade fever have managed to put a damper on the positive results I have experienced.

I've looked around for similar experiments but with no luck. Has anybody else here attempted a low-medium dose steroid regimen to combat PAWS? Feedback is also welcome from those with experience using other varieties of steroid esters.

Also, if somebody could find an appropriate place for this thread I would appreciate it. Thanks!
 
good god go get a simple blood test!it will show you where your test levels are at...the last thing u want to do is self administer testosterone if your T levels are already normal..especially a short acting ester like Proprionate...

lethargy, depression and the rest are all common Paws symptoms but this does not mean your t levels are low...Opiates are infamous for lowering T levels but usually only after long term habits..
 
Testosterone levels can vary and decline with age healthily. The low- t stuff seems like big pharma trying to sell stuff to men like they sell estrogen to women going through menopause. From what I've read most of it is nonsense like hormone replacement drugs for women. But, I agree get a test don't just shoot it. And great job on quiting! :)
