TRT and GLPs
- Thread starter Super Trips
- Start date
I started TRT and tirzepatide a year ago exactly on the same day. This was based on doctors recommendation. What exactly do you mean by TRT counteracting GLPs? They have no interactions with each other. I have benefited from both. I have been on Testostrone Enanthate 100mg/week and the max Tirzepatide dose that I used was 5mg. I have lost 50 pounds, and I have maintained my muscles and didn't even go to the gym once. I am 5' 7" and weigh 155lb now. My Cholesterol was 320 pre Tirzepatide and TRT and I had fatty liver. My total cholesterol is now 180, and fatty liver is none existent. Let me know if I can be of any help. I am just not sure what information you are looking for.
Are you some sort of super responder? 25-50mg exogenous T is going to be incredibly low for most people. Do you get regular bloodwork and know your total/free T?
But no, TRT for someone with low testosterone getting them into the normal range will not only not counter TRT, but it will help preserve muscle mass which will ultimately assist in losing weight.

Amazing result! Put more in your 401k, you're going to live longer.
LOL. Thank you!! I am very happy. I feel like a new person. Starting TRT was a tough decision since my total T was withing the normal range (410) but free Testostrone was barely making it to the lower end of the range. I am glad I started TRT. I'm feeling a lot better. Tirzepatide is godsend. I lost most of my weight on 2.5mg/week! It shut down the junk food and chocolate cravings.Amazing result! Put more in your 401k, you're going to live longer.

GLP-1s and test go great together to achieve a lean muscular frame. Test will help in building lean muscle mass and glps help with putting you into a calorie deficit along with many other benefits to cut the fat.

I've not gone over 5mg. Started end of last December, hit goal during summer (226lbs to 160lbs). Maintaining at 5mg and adjusting (upward) my diet, not my dose.

Not sure if you're a man or woman, but I've been looking into testosterone injections for perimenopause. Everything I've heard about testosterone injections in women all say it helps with weight loss, so I wouldn't think it counteracts the glp-1's, I'd assume it helps or amplifies the weight loss.

i felt like high doses of T made me more hunger daily and i was trying to cut food. so was it counter productive to do T while on Glp meds.

Are you male or female? I believe 20mg/wk is the max recommended Test dose (in general) for women. They say it’s approximately 1/10 the male dosage. Was your free Test in the low range on your labs? I’m hoping to start testosterone soon and REALLY don’t want to feel ravenous Lol. My appetite finally feels normal on GLP1s.
