When someone has a testosterone deficiency takes it, they take a small dose to be within normal range. With replacement therapy it is more of a long-term deal or decided by endocrinologist.
If you take just one shot, you will be fine for one week, (rough half life of a shot of test) and then you will SHUTDOWN.
Go see your primary, have him refer you to an endocrinologist, get your levels checked then discuss the advantages of doing hormonal replacement. It is not something you just go out and try because you're feeling sluggish.

there are a number of people on the board who take that shit for non medical reasons. i know robbie is one of them. from what they say it sounds pretty interesting but yeah, if you start injecting yourself with it your body will no longer produce near the amounts it used to and when you stop, it doesn't just start producing normal amounts all of a sudden again.
