You’re on TRT — great. But what if you’re still not feeling like yourself?The truth is, testosterone therapy isn’t a “set it and forget it” treatment. Your dose might have worked great six months ago… but now? Not so much. Hormones shift. Life changes. And sometimes, your protocol needs a tweak.Here are 5 common signs your current dose might be too low 👇
1. 😴 You're Still Tired All. The. Time.
TRT should boost your energy — not leave you dragging by 2PM. If you’re still exhausted after a full night’s sleep, something might be off.
2. 😡 Your Mood’s on a Rollercoaster
Irritable? Anxious? Depressed? Low testosterone (or an imbalanced ratio with estrogen) can mess with your mental state. Don’t chalk it up to stress — your hormones may be behind it.
3. 🛏️ Your Libido Is MIA
One of the first things TRT improves for many men is sex drive. If yours hasn’t budged — or it got better, then vanished — it could be a sign your dose isn’t cutting it.
4. 💪 No Gains at the Gym
TRT helps with lean muscle growth and strength. If you're working out but not seeing results, or feel unusually sore for days, your T levels might still be sub-optimal.
5. 📉 Your Labs Say So
Always back how you feel with what your labs say. Total testosterone, free T, and estradiol all matter — and being “in range” doesn’t always mean “optimal.”✅ The fix? Get re-evaluated. This is why AlphaMD includes ongoing check-ins, labs, and dose adjustments. Your protocol should work for you — not just meet some generic number.👉 Think your TRT dose might be too low? Let’s talk.
