A number of dosage options are available.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

Kallmann syndrome is a disease characterized by hypogonadotropic hypogonadism where the testosterone levels are low and therefore need supplementation. Sustanon (testosterone) is therefore given. There are a number of forms and preparations. In injectable form, sustanon 250 mg is usually given once in 2-3 weeks but your doctor would be the best judge what is ideal for you. You can learn more about it from:

Sustanon is unlikely to be related to the mood disturbances. It is just another manifestation of the ailment that you have.

Thanks for writing back. Sorry for the inadvertent delay. The mood disturbances can definitely be controlled. There are a number of medicines which will help you remain fine. But all those are prescription medicines and need close and periodic monitoring. I would need to request you to visit a psychiatrist for the same.
