i had the pellets for a year and the "crash" at the end was literally the worst. i felt like a zombie for 3 weeks every time. are the pills he mentioned kyzatrex or jatenzo? those are the new oral ones that actually work pretty well without killing your liver

man the insurance games are so annoying. making you feel like crap just to prove you need the meds is peak healthcare lol. i havent tried the pills but anything is better than having those pellets cut into your hip twice a year

i'm on the orals now and honestly i like them way more than i thought i would. you just gotta remember to take them with a little bit of fat/food or they dont absorb right. much steadier levels than the pellets for sure

wait, pills? i thought orals were bad for the liver? or is there a new version out now? i'm on injections but i'd love to skip the needles if the pills actually keep your numbers stable

i know a guy who switched from pellets to jatenzo and he says his mood is way more consistent. those pellets are such a roller coaster man. plus no more scar tissue building up on your glutes

10 pellets at once sounds like a lot lol. i'd definitely look into the pills or even just standard injections if your doctor is cool with it. that end-of-cycle crash is usually why people quit the pellets

i didnt even know they made test in pill form that actually worked lol i thought that was just a myth or some old school liver killer. if your insurance covers it then maybe its worth a shot but honestly the pellet crash sounds like a nightmare. id be worried about the pills being hard to keep stable too but anything is better then that 5 month rollercoaster

man i tried the pellets once and the "trough" at the end was so bad i almost lost my mind lol. i haven't tried the pills but i heard the newer ones like jatenzo are supposed to be way easier on the liver than the stuff from the 80s. if you end up switching let us know how it goes because anything is better than having a crash just to satisfy insurance

honestly man why not just switch to injections? i know nobody likes needles but once a week is way more stable than pellets and probably cheaper than the name brand pills. if you really want to stay away from shots though i guess the pills are the next best thing but i'd check the price first cuz some of those new orals are crazy expensive

the pellets always sounded like a cool idea until i heard about the levels dropping off a cliff. i've heard the pills have to be taken with food (like high fat) to even absorb right so that might be a pain in the ass if your not a big breakfast person. definitely ask your doc about the absorption stuff before you swap

my buddy is on the oral test and he likes it way better than the gels but he says he has to take it twice a day to keep his mood even. if your doc thinks its a good move id say try it for a month and see if you feel better than you do on the pellets. the insurance game is such a scam though making you suffer just to get your meds

wait so you have to feel like crap for a month just to get the next dose?? that is brutal man. i havent used the pills but i've seen some guys on here say they work okay as long as your consistent. the pellets always seemed like a "set it and forget it" thing that doesnt actually work in the real world lol hope you find something that keeps you level
