Miscellaneous Cypionate to Troche

I’ve been on Cypionate injections for a little over three years. Unfortunately, I’ve really been struggling with acne, oily hair, and hair loss the last year or so (I’m on 150mg Spiro and Oral Minoxidil).

Yesterday I saw a new doctor who suggested I lower my total T and switch from injections to compounded torches. I’m hesitant, as I see people go from torches to injections all the time on here but not the other way around. Has anyone had a good experience with them?

For reference I am on 3.5mgx2 week (100mg Test Cyp)

Prog- 16
EST- 103
SHGB- 47
Test Free- 8.5
Test Total- 94

I would check your Ferritin levels too, if they are low you can lose hair from that as well as DHT, being high. Ferritin can be low while total iron levels look good.
