[QUOTE="DFL, post: 213725, member: 18604"] I'm just going to chime in on depression and Bupropion. 4 years ago when I started TRT I was 50 years old and extremely depressed after divorce and business problems (though my depression is not only situational). TRT gave me a very mild mood boost. I started Bupropion around 2.5 years ago, ending up at 300XL daily. That gave me I'd say a 40% overall improvement, which is huge. Another benefit has been increased libido, which continues to this day. However, I just had an experience I want to share. A nurse practitioner I see recommended TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulaition) maybe 1.5 years ago. I finally got around to giving it a try, and I finished 36 appointments 2 weeks ago. My depression is now in remission. In terms of depression scale: Pre-Bupropion: 21 Pre-TMS: 11 Post-TMS: 3 I feel better than I have in 25 years. It's quite an experience! Wish I had tried it sooner. I know it does not work that well for everyone, but if your insurance will cover it it's certainly worth a shot. My out of pocket was $1200 (treatment runs around $7K) and it's the best money I have ever spent. It would have been worth paying the whole amount. Hope that helps someone... [/QUOTE]
