[QUOTE="TransitPoloce, post: 59938, member: 14550"] Hi Vince, What would be your main worries about someone starting TRT while they are tapering off of benzo's? It wasn't a decision I took lightly - although looking back I wish I gave it some more thought. My main concern is adding Testosterone is introducing more variables while tapering and it will make things difficult to distinguish what is causing certain symptoms if they do arise. I've found it's similar to TRT - you need to take the information to a Dr and educate them on how to taper from benzo's until you find one willing to treat you. On average a random Dr will cause far more harm than good for someone trying to taper off of benzo's. A typical rehab for example will often 'detox' a benzo user rapidly like any other drug. Causing far more long term harm as the 28 day rehab model that insurance companies will cover doesn't have time to treat them correctly. Agree that alone isn't the answer - ideally a good support group - online or real life, an understanding counsellor and if you're lucky a GP that has a clue will give you a better chance of success.
