Is Intramuscular Injection Effective In Treatment Of Low Testosterone Level?

I m a 36 male and I have low testosterone testosterone free and total 158L free testosterone (direct) 6.0L I have been testosterone injections for 2 mouths. I get one injection of 200mg Testosterone Cypionate ones a mouth after about 2 days i feel a little better. after about 8-10 days it starts to go down hill. then I feel ever worse than before I started. I live in a little town the nearest testosterone replacement therapy clinics is over 1hr a way (just to far to drive) I have been doing a lot of research online. I m not sure I m taking the right dose. I read a lot of men say they take 100mg Twice per Week by Intramuscular Injection and are really happy with the way it works. What would be the best way to talk to my Dr about trying this? I have just started seeing this Dr before I found out about the low t I would just go to FastMed I do not wont him to think I m a junky lol I just tried of feel like crap

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, look you have not mentioned the clinical symptoms here, because this is the important one and not the test results, reproductive or sex hormone are very complex one and highly fluctuating (Naturally occurring in human body), nothing can be said for the synthetic testosterone, so better try to concentrate on symptoms, hope this information helps, take care.
I find this answer helpful
