For those on testosterone cream, what was your starting dose?

Is 4mg a day too high of a starting dose?

I’m 47F with regular periods. I’m on 0.025 of the Estradiol patch and 100mg of progesterone taken vaginally. I started T couple days ago. My doctor started me on a higher dose because my lab results showed no perceptible testosterone, basically zero. However, since starting the dose, I’ve been feeling “off”. Low grade nausea/ dizziness and extreme fatigue. Granted, that could also be because I am coming off and SSRI and I haven’t taken my ADHD meds in the last couple days. But I’m still curious about the dosage. My NP (through MIDI Health) mentioned that she was starting me high because my testosterone is so very low. But wondering if she should have ramped me up instead.
