Like Cabergoline, L Dopa is a dopamine antagonist (which balances Prolactin like a seesaw). And within the first few capsules I imagine. I just grab a bottle and run it, and within a few days start feeling good. That blood test result was after about just over a month on it.
Because there's "normal" ranges (which are so generic and generally wrong as to class too many people into one basket, regardless of age, sex, fitness, health etc), then there's an "ideal" range, then there's somebody's own "personal" ideal range.
For example, I stated E2 feels good at 18 - 28. That's what most steroid using, TRT using crowd have reported to feel best on. This demographic makes up a very small % of people worldwide. And yet, even within that small group, there are people (on this very forum) who feel best with their E2 at 35 - 45. Everyone's different.
And hormones are still only very new. Synthetically they've only been in discovery for the past 50 years. That's a pin drop in the ocean if you believe humans have existed for 6 million years. These ranges are already outdated. Most were created back when the doctor would be discussing this stuff with a cigarette in his mouth (and that was considered the norm, with no ill effects).
So you can imagine how fruitful it would be to point out that even though you're "in a normal range" for hormones, you can still feel like utter shit. You don't want normal or good. You want to be in the BEST range possible, and even then they fluctuate all day long. Fun.
