Looks like, as of May 1st, that the DEA has backed down at least temporarily. So come May 11th there won't be any changes to care, at least not yet.
My...
Yeah, these forums are also where many men come for help when they have problems. There is a high degree of bias here. Most men on TRT probably don't even think about it!
Studies have shown that TRT improves libido in many men who previously had low testosterone. This is in fact one of the...
Thanks for sharing your experience.
For me, I feel like there are two kinds of libido: reactive libido and proactive libido. I can get strong erections as soon as my partner touches me (or if I start touching my partner). But the 'drive' to be intimate, at least just based on looking at her...
Now that it's been a while, how has the bupropion worked out for you?
I am noticing similar issues. Just got a prescription for bupropion and I'm going to try it out and see how I feel.
I am 99% sure you'll be fine, though it might depend on what country you are entering (if you're doing so)
There are only a handful of countries where possession of testosterone is treated like criminal narcotic possession. And the US is the outlier here, with the strictest and most draconian...
Good overview article with specifics about how trans masculine people will be affected if the DEA proposal is implemented:

I believe that if you are already a telemedicine patient you will be "grandfathered in" to an 180 day extension, but after that will need to meet with the telemedicine physician in person or do the telemedicine physician <-> local physician group meeting.
I certainly hope this does not go...
I'm seeing more discussion now in online trans communities. Here's an article I saw just today:
https://www.them.us/story/dea-telehealth-rules-testosterone
Unfortunately many of these posts miss the critical reason why this is particularly bad for trans people taking testosterone: if these...
We are now up to 14,000 comments in just a few days. The Kratom ban proposal had 23,000 comments with two months of time to comment. The telemedicine ban proposal has a total of less than one month to comment, so we are already ahead.
I think we can beat this if we keep spreading the word.
Collecting some trans community info / postings as I find them.
Here's one from a trans telemedicine company:

Good instagram post from...
This is a huge issue. I think the only reason we haven't heard more outcry from the trans community is the short timeframe of this DEA proposed rule change.
Think about this: if you're a trans man and you're living in a place without many (or any) trans-friendly healthcare providers, what are...
I'll admit to having not read the text yet, but my understanding is there are significant changes now. Just going to get a physical will no longer be sufficient for e.g. Defy to treat you.
You will need to:
1. Get an exam by a practitioner with a state DEA license. Not all of them have this...
In case others find it helpful, here is the comment I submitted:
I sought out care locally for my hypogonadism for years before finding a physician via telemedicine that was able to treat me properly. The testosterone treatment I receive has dramatically improved my life and I cannot imagine...
