Should I Increase The Dose Of Testosterone Cypionate?

My doctor has me on 100mg of test cypionate a week and I still feel tired. I m afraid my test levels are normal but still want to double my dose. I m 30 year old male who is very healthy.I am am very extreme at the gym. Very much into lifting heavy heavy weight. How do I approach my doctor asking for my test levels to be at 1,000? I began trt with a test level of 324. I d also like to try test propionate because cypionate has given me alot of water weight.

Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
Testosterone cypionate is a of the drugs used to treat lack of or low testosterone.The dose of this drug depends on the severity of the problem.At times getting the exact does that will be good for an individual may be difficult and will need a series of shots and evaluation of response.I will suggest you see your Doctor to judge the need to adjust your Dose.High doses too are not very good if not really indicated.50 to 400 mg every 2 to four weeks may however be acceptable.This will depend on your Doctor.Changing to a different testosterone without your Doctor's consent will not be good.
Hope my answer will help you
