[QUOTE="KenLowT, post: 127400, member: 18755"] I'm wondering how the thread starter has done with this. Me, myself, and I; things still have not gotten better with me in the libido department. What I am starting to believe is that my low libido is not caused by low T, but by anxiety instead. I've been on my TRT for almost half a year now and while my strength and energy have improved, my anxiety has not completely gone away. I will go weeks having only mild anxiety and then a week or two where my anxiety spikes and I get full blown ED (like right now). My DHEA came back at a 45 which I read can be caused by constant stress. I can honestly say that my sex life was actually better when I was on Zoloft. Not because I had this massive libido because that's not true, however the fact that it relaxed me allowed me to enjoy sex and not worry about getting ED. My work productivity improved, I was much nicer to my wife, and I didn't worry about every little thing. I keep waiting for that magic feeling to return with TRT, but it's not happened and I doubt it ever will. In my opinion, based on what I'm seeing, my anxiety is probably the result of some kind of chemical imbalance. The fact that this anxiety comes in waves is a tell tell sign for me. My reason for getting off Zoloft the first time was to improve fertility, the 2nd time I got off of it was to lose weight. The only reason I have not gone back to Zoloft was to preserve fertility after I added HCG to my protocol. At this point I don't know what to do; remove TRT and start Zoloft, stay on TRT and add Zoloft, get on Clomid to enhance fertility while on Zoloft. I'm just so confused and frustrated because I have a few goals here; to have another child, to rid myself of anxiety, and to increase my libido in order to have an active, healthy sex life with my wife. Keep in mind I'm not some schmuck who doesn't know about mental illness. I studied psychology, I'm a counselor, and know anxiety when I see it. Anxiety is definitely what I have, but how to treat it while trying to conceive is the Catch 22 I'm in. Hopefully I can hear back from those who have experience on this. [/QUOTE]
