Guest guest Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 I sent my trt doctor an email earlier in the week telling him that I felt the dose he was giving me 400 cypionate every 2 weeks was high and spaced too far apart. I also sent him son\me literature from dr. crisler and from the american endo board. I also told him that I felt somewhat short tempered on this dose and that's why I would like him to accomodate my concerns and lower the dose. My mistake was sending him an email and leaving a paper trail as most doctors are paranoid these days. This is someof the response he sent me: I reviewed some of Dr. Crisler's literature and it's obvious that we have significantly different philosophies and views on the treatment of TD. That being said, I usually have little objection to patient's requests to try reasonable alternative dosing regimens. Unfortunately, we have a problem. In your last email you informed me that you had significant adverse psychiatric effects from the first two injections of testosterone, " paranoia " and " agitation " . This does not appear to be a dose related phenomenon since your symptoms abated near the time one would expect your T levels to be near their highest. I consulted an attorney, and considering the potential seriousness of your reactions along with current public and governmental concerns over " roid rage " it would be irresponsible of me to continue administering or prescribing testosterone at this time. Such action on my part would likely be construed as malpractice if not illegal. I fully understand the difficulty people have in getting testosterone deficiency effectively treated. My best suggestion would be for you to have psychiatric evaluation. Given psychiatric clearance, and a period of continuing psychiatric follow-up, I'd have no problem administering T according to an acceptable protocol you prefer. Now I'm not sure what to do? I definitely think that his name should be scrubbed from database as he also took a blood test last week and brushed off the high estrogen levels and his trt protocol is not the industry norm. Now I need to find a new doctor. My next appointment was scheduled for monday and that's right about the time I'll be crashing from my last dose.
