Why I Quit TRT After Trying Underground Labs
By Steve
It’s been a wild ride, lads. If you’ve been following my journey, you know I’ve been on TRT for a while now—125mg of Sustanon weekly, plus a bit of HCG to keep the boys downstairs in working order. But today, I’m here to talk about the darker side of TRT: underground labs. And why, after dipping my toes into that murky water, I decided to quit altogether.
The Allure of Underground Labs
Let’s be honest, the idea of saving a few quid is tempting. When I first heard about underground labs, I thought, Why not? It’s the same stuff, right? Just cheaper. And with the cost of prescriptions and doctor’s visits adding up, it felt like a no-brainer. Plus, there’s a certain thrill to it—like you’re part of some secret club. But as I quickly learned, that thrill comes with a hefty price tag.
The Reality Check
I won’t name names, but let’s just say my first experience with an underground lab was… eye-opening. The packaging looked legit, the labels were convincing, but something felt off. The oil was thicker than what I was used to, and the injection site swelled up like a balloon. I chalked it up to a bad batch, but then the same thing happened with the next order. And the next.
That’s when I started doing some digging. Turns out, underground labs aren’t exactly known for their quality control. You’re rolling the dice every time you inject, and the stakes are high. Contaminants, incorrect dosages, even fake products—it’s a minefield. And for what? A few euros saved? Not worth it, lads. Not worth it.
The Breaking Point
The final straw came when I started feeling like absolute shite. Fatigue, mood swings, and a general sense of what the hell is going on? I got my bloods done, and the results were shocking. My testosterone levels were all over the place, and my liver enzymes were through the roof. It was a wake-up call. I realized I was playing Russian roulette with my health, and I wasn’t willing to risk it anymore.
Why I Quit
So, I made the decision to quit TRT altogether. It wasn’t easy—I’d grown used to the benefits, the energy, the mental clarity. But the risks far outweighed the rewards. I’m back to working with a proper doctor now, and while it’s more expensive, it’s also a hell of a lot safer. And at the end of the day, that’s what matters.
Lessons Learned
If there’s one thing I’ve taken away from this experience, it’s this: don’t cut corners when it comes to your health. TRT can be life-changing, but only if it’s done right. Underground labs might seem like a shortcut, but they’re a shortcut to disaster. Trust me, lads, it’s not worth it.
So, there you have it. My journey with underground labs, and why I decided to quit TRT. If you’re considering going down that road, take it from me—don’t. Your health is too important to gamble with.
Stay safe, stay healthy, and as always, keep the craic alive.
