Proviron 25mg vs 50mg daily on TRT, are you noticing anything real or is it mostly placebo?

Running 200mg test e per week TRT for two years. Considering adding Proviron at 25 or 50mg daily. I understand the SHBG mechanism but I am genuinely not sure if the benefit is noticeable in practice or mainly shows up in bloodwork numbers without any real physical difference. Who is running it on TRT and are you actually feeling something - libido, mood, free test effect - or is it subtle to the point of being questionable?

Running Proviron at 25mg daily on my TRT cruise. I do notice a difference mate, not subtle. Libido and mood both improved within about 2 weeks. My SHBG was highish before adding it so that probably explains why the response is clear for me. Hair-sensitive so staying at 25 rather than pushing to 50. Would not drop it now.

Notice it clearly at 50mg. Libido improvement is real and the mild hardening effect on a cruise is a nice bonus. Did not notice much at 25mg personally - think individual response varies a lot based on baseline SHBG and body fat. Guys with naturally higher SHBG seem to respond more noticeably than guys who are already at the lower end of normal.

The pharmacology is clear - Proviron binds SHBG with high affinity, displacing testosterone and increasing free test. At high baseline SHBG the effect on free test is measurable and noticeable. At low baseline SHBG the displacement is smaller and some guys notice very little. Get your SHBG tested before and after 4 weeks on Proviron - that will tell you exactly whether it is doing something useful for your specific physiology.

Running 25mg Proviron daily on TRT. Notice a clear difference in libido and general wellbeing compared to test only at the same dose. My SHBG was on the higher side before adding it which probably explains the noticeable response. Would not go to 50mg given I want to keep my hair. 25mg is the sensible starting point for anyone who is sensitive about DHT load.
