@robertmizek Well, I wish that I could report that all is 'hunky-dory' with my ADT side effects after TRT, however, I just stopped taking T-Gel since it was not effective for me. My initial T at 250 went to an acceptable 400 after 2 pumps per day. However, after close to a year, I didn't see an improvement in side effects (hot flashes, etc.) so I started tapering off. My T has been stable around 400 and no significant rise in PSA was detected. My urologist told me that TRT would, over time, reduce my ability to produce T naturally and, hearing that while seeing no positive effects, convinced me to stop. I am now pursuing a path with referrals to endocrinology, albeit, this is not the type of area they seem to know much about based on my early dealings.
I also plan to consider HCG that another PCa Bro. posted and raved about. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/hdc-alternative-to-t-supplement/
