    TRT Effect on 5 Alpha Reductase and Upstream Hormones- Cause of Low Mood and Anxiety?

    I was doing very well on Empower's version of Atris base. Three clicks at 2 p.m. It was in the 800s at 20. And then they discontinued it. I went back to the HRT base, but the same dose was only getting me around 600. So I switched to 250 mg per mL and kept the same dose. Now I'm at 960 TT. I...

    TRT Effect on 5 Alpha Reductase and Upstream Hormones- Cause of Low Mood and Anxiety?

    I'm still using the cream and am doing very well. Once I stopped blaming TRT for every little feeling and stopped messing with my dose, things have been good.

    anyone take TRT alongside mental health medications like Prozac(SSRIs) and Adderall or vyvanse?

    I wonder if some guys are just affected more by the shut down of the upstream hormons. I know my pregnenolone levels are flat lined. But I do not do well on preg supps. So who knows

    anyone take TRT alongside mental health medications like Prozac(SSRIs) and Adderall or vyvanse?

    I personally think that Many overdose ssris. I had al sorts of issues on the common "starting doses" of ssri. I've had some some success with low dose lexapro. But I also think it should be a last resort

    anyone take TRT alongside mental health medications like Prozac(SSRIs) and Adderall or vyvanse?

    I'm one of the unlucky ones. My mental health actually has gotten worse on trt. I've tried everything under the son hormone wise. Nothing helps. Best thing I've done is taken low dose lexapro. 2.5-5mg a day takes the edge off for me

    Pressure headaches, can it be test Cyp

    I personally had strange headaches with any type of injectable testosterone. Compounded scrotal cream has been a game changer for me. Been on it over a year consistently.
