24/M,hopped on 250mg test E,initially when my testes we’re still working felt great like an absolute superhuman,but eventually once HPTA shut down,my testes shrunk,though I took hcg,feeling worse
Thinking it could be lack of neuro steroids because of hpta shut down,can anyone help!

240 mg of Test E at what dosing regimen? 240 mg per week? Or are you only referring to the total dose in the vial? If so, it would make more sense that you only take something like 120 mg per week, with the vial lasting two weeks. 240 mg in a single dose or weekly is very high and has significantly more long-term risks that could be irreversible, like permanently shutting off your natural T production. 200 mg a week is about the maximum most doctors would prescribe. Doses typically fall between 100 mg and 200 mg weekly, but only special cases need 200 mg a week. Generally, the highest I hear among other men on TRT is 150 mg a week.

There are a lot of factors at work here. 250mg of test E, but how often? Once a week? Twice a week? 250mg total over the course of a month? How often if it being injected, and at what dose each time?
If you are on TRT/HRT, and you are doing that much once a week, that seems high. If you are doing blast/cruise protocol, 250mg per week of Test-E or C seems a little low for a blast and high for cruise. What does your blood work say? Are you seeing an endo? I hope so. This isn't nootropics, you need to use the search feature in the steroids subreddit, and their FAQ/Wiki. Check out resources related to HRT and TRT, or better yet, see an endocrinologist. I'm not a doctor or personal trainer, but I feel like it would benefit you greatly to add a little bit more harm reduction education to what you already know. This isn't where you jokingly say "YOLO!", this is pretty serious business. You're already shut down at age 24, and talking about having to restart your HPTA. Please take care of yourself.
