Libido

Low libido is one of the most common reasons men turn to TRT, and also one of the most common complaints among men already on TRT who feel physically better but sexually flat. Discussions in this tag explore the multiple drivers: estradiol too high or too low, suppressed DHT, elevated prolactin, HPA-axis effects from long-term suppression, DHEA depletion, and protocol design choices like injection frequency. Members share what worked for them, including HCG addition, scrotal cream or DHT gel trials, PT-141, Cialis daily, and targeted E2 management.

    Considering weaning off of TRT

    I started this journey about a year ago when I felt my sex drive and performance were limited. I was tested and came out at around 550 on T and the clinic recommended 140 weekly, which put me at about 1100 at the low. I was also put on an AI as the doctor strove to drive me under 25 on...

    Cycling TRT

    I'm wondering about the validity on a clinical and perceived basis of cycling on and off TRT. I wouldn't eve pursue the question except for some research that was done on it, believe from University of Texas (Huston?). And I can't find the link now, ncbi, I thought. Study involved Test...

    Trintellix for situational/performance anxiety?

    I've seen a few posts here from members — most recently Nelson himself — who have started taking Trintellix for anxiety or depression and seen an improvement in libido and erections. One poster called it a "wonder drug" that cured his "erection-killing anxiety." Was wondering how many posters...

    Thinking of lowering T dose closer to my natural levels.

    So this is just me spot balling here but I've been on trt since late 2016. I'm 45 now.I mainly went on trt so that it would be easier to run a higher dose once or twice a year without having to pct. I also figured the added ability to hold muscle, extra energy, well being, etc, of trt would be...

    Med student here. I have been on TRT since 21. Here is what I have learned about ED, libido and hormones.

    What I take for TRT. I am a med student in my last year. For years I have been on TRT. Because there is just so much misinformation around, I wrote some stuff about what I have learned along the way. What I found works best for me: 2x 50mg Test cyp per week (s.c. with 30G insulin syringe) 2x...

    Does variation in peak/trough equate to libido?

    I have been on TRT for about three years. In January I switched to daily injections in an effort to control hematocrit, acne and sleep issues. I began at 20 mg per day and have slowly decreased my dose down to what is now 14 mg per day under the theory that the lowest possible dose is best. I...
