[QUOTE="Mountain Man, post: 119058, member: 14411"] Wrenchead is right. Meds should be the last thing attempted for anxiety or depression. Cognitive behavioral therapy is the first thing that should be diligently attempted for a few months and meds could be adjunct treatment. Stands to reason that guys like us on TRT will tend to seek a medical cure for issues and expect to have a miracle happen. For example, how many guys with issues from TRT work out, watch diet and sleep? Psych meds are extremely potent and should not casually be prescribed as they are by primary care doctors. Antidepressants and TRT can work together, but you must expect the side effects. Somewhere around 40% of men on SSRIs will have some sexual side effects and if you are anxious and expect to have sexual side effects, it jumps to close to 100%. The placebo effect is a very real thing. Cognitive behavioral therapy should be the first thing attempted. And, guys who are disciplined do very well with it. [/QUOTE]
