question from a user
Can increasing trt dosage lower sex drive? Went from 220 to 240 per week, and I feel like sex drive went down. I take a blocker three days after my shot as directed. I have now been directed to add a half tablet the day of my shot, but still feel like it’s the same. Would an increase from 240 to 260 possibly improve sex drive? All other aspects seem to be fine.
AlphaMD's Answer
Libido is one of the most fragile aspects of TRT. There is definitely a "sweet spot" as far as levels are concerned where men notice improved libido. If you overshoot or undershoot that spot, you can lose your libido. In fact, one of the most common patterns providers see is that when libido decreases on TRT, decrease of the dose tends to be the solution, not an increase.
