Background on ketamine and depression
Does anyone have any experience with ketamine? I have an upcoming consult in a few weeks to possibly set up treatment. I have been struggling with depression symptoms. The laundry list of side effects for the normal prescription meds i.e. SSRI's, do not interest me. Ketamine seems to have a...
I talked my wife into getting a health panel done from discounted labs. It is kind of hard to read. I don't really understand some of it compared to the results I often get. The biggest problem is she has an IUD implant for birth control. Since doing that she really doesn't have periods. So...
I recently tried to get a defy prescription filled locally. Local pharmacy was giving me a lot of grief about out of state Doctor. I had to go back and forth a few times. Long story short I ended up just going with Defy to fill the order.
Defy was extremely helpful and patient with me...
So I recently added testosterone cream to my protocol (help libido - scrotum), along with test cyp and HCG. all taken daily.

I switched from 350iu HCG E3.5D to 100iu daily about 6-7 seeks ago. My latest labs have my total test going from 1000 to >1500. E2 sensitive, 29 to 36. Free T, 25 to 33. Test cyp injections remains unchanged (50mg E3.5D)
Can simply changing HCG injection frequency cause such a jump?
Has anyone tried natural light therapy for for insomnia?
Two days ago I started 1/2 hour of natural light from a device that puts out 10,000 LUX of brightness. I do this about 4-5 hours before my bed time. I suffer from depression and insomnia (the kind where I fall asleep easy and early...

I am coming off of pellets and waiting for my consult from defy medical. In the mean time my free T and estradiol have plummeted. Now I have just been diagnosed with Shingles. Does coming off of TRT weaken ones immune system? In my case allowing the shingles virus to rear its ugly head. Has...
