Current dose of T?

His body must not metabolise it well if he's on such a high dose. I've only ever known one person who was on that high a dose. I inject 60mg a week.

You cannot just keep increasing your dose to make changes happen faster and faster; I don't know if that was the endo's intent. (I've no idea if your boyfriend's endo knows anything about these issues; you'd be surprised.) Excess testosterone is converted to oestrogen. No matter how low your dose, as long as it's enough to shut down the ovaries' oestrogen production (and therefore be healthy), the same changes will happen. It's just about how long it takes and how moody and acne-riddled you are in the meantime. (Of course your mileage may vary somewhat with severity of negative things, rate of change, etc.)

I take half of your bf's intial dose - 25mg every week. I'm pretty sensitive to any hormonal changes and from the first few weeks up until about two months in my response time to any situation or emotion was pretty short. I reacted way more quickly than intended and was kind of overwhelmed by various feelings - mostly anger, anticipation, frustration, worry & sadness - easily. The intensity of what I was feeling would only last literally a minute & then I'd feel like an ass in the aftermath.

For me part of the issue was definitely just adjusting to the new hormones, and part was not realizing how my body needed to eat & sleep in really different cycles than before. Once I had room (thanks to my flexible job hours) to figure what I needed, things went way calmer.

Also, a lot of changes & worries that I hadn't anticipated came with beginning to transition in a physically obvious way. This may not be an issue for your bf - since he was on T before this new dose - but I think this coupled with the sensitivity of my emotions while I began was definitely a factor.
