Thanks for the links Nelson. I think Sertraline is the next medication I will try. Propranolol helped the first time I tried it, but stopped working and caused insomnia.

I have experienced benzodiazepine withdrawal. I couldn't leave my house for almost a year until it was over. I stayed off benzo's for 2 years but started taking them again as needed. Its easy to only take 1-2 per week because I know I don't want to go through withdrawal again. After 10+ years...

Update: I gave Lexapro a try. It did not go well, anxiety and OCD went through the roof. Tried to get a new benzodiazepine prescription for as needed use. No luck with that. Diazepam 1-2 times a week helps me a lot. Is there anything similar I can take instead?

Before TRT I had body acne with lots of cysts/boils. Tried many soaps and found that using Head and Shoulders (plain one with zinc) as a body wash cleared everything up.

I was seeing a psychiatrist for a while. After a few months he told me there's not much more he can do to help me. I will try to get a referral to another one.

The problem with benzo's is they stop working for me if I take them daily. I was on Klonopin daily for 3 years. It was a life saver at the start. Started at 0.5 mg but after 2 years I had to take 4 mg/day for it to work. When that dose stopped working my doctor took me off them. That was quite...

Thanks for the responses. Paxil did nothing besides kill my libido. Weed amplifies the anxiety. *** oil with THC did the same. *** with no thc had no effect. My diet for the last 2 years is mostly meat + vegetables. Dairy free. I have stomach problems and that diet has reduced bloating quite...

TRT has definitely improved my quality of life in some areas but I still have crippling anxiety. For someone with mental health problems as severe as mine it doesn't look like Testosterone is going to be enough. I've had this anxiety/paranoia for my whole life, even as a kid. I don't feel...

Same with me. Even taking just 2.5mg/day I find myself getting angry very easily over the stupidest things.

What are your main symptoms ZizshitWork? Low testosterone might be just be a minor part of a bigger problem.

Thanks for the replies. I wasn't sure if the rubber stopper is supposed to seal up completely. Didn't notice any holes until now. It's not leaking and no signs of rubber inside the vial. I have some 25g needles i'll switch to for drawing. I've been injecting with a 23g 1" needle (on BD 3ml...

I've done 5 injections from this vial, after the last injection I noticed a small hole in the rubber stopper. The 4 times before that the stopper seemed to seal up completely. I use a 22g needle to draw. Is this normal or is the vial possibly contaminated now? It's a Pfizer 10ml vial, I'm...

Hi CoastWatcher, 9 months later I haven't had made any progress with the doctors here. Most recent testosterone level: 7 nmol. I also had a cortisol saliva test done and all the levels were very low. My symptoms are a lot worse. The way things are going I feel like i'm going to end up...

Link to the study MarkM mentioned: http://suppversity.blogspot.com/2011/11/licorice-more-estrogenic-than-estradiol.html That could make things a lot worse.. T is already low. Has anyone here taken Licorice root?

What do you guys think about this? http://drhui.com/articles-by-dr-hui/articles-by-dr-hui-2/chronic-adrenal-fatigue/ The part about about licorice drops is towards the middle section: "HOW TO TREAT ADRENAL FATIGUE"
