[QUOTE="bouquetCPA, post: 74091, member: 15595"] Today I had a disagreement with my internal medicine doctor regarding my own TRT therapy. He essentially told me that low 300s was in the acceptable range for a 44 year old male and I should get off of TRT. He even went on to say that I would go back to feeling crappy, lacking energy, etc. and should consider various prescription drugs and other medical professionals to deal with those issues. I told my wife that while I appreciate the fact that he has tried to help me out in other areas, I just don't agree with him. I'd rather be on something my body produces naturally versus going to a psychiatrist to treat the symptoms caused by low T. Yes, he actually recommended that my symptoms fixed by TRT be treated by a psychiatrist instead... He even went as far as to try to scare me with some misinformation saying that what I was doing now is no different than guys on anabolic steroids. He also told me that there are no long term testosterone replacement studies and touted old studies with the risks associated with TRT. I just don't get it... Sorry, I just wanted to rant that a doctor actually recommended that I consider antidepressants and other prescriptions while living with the low testosterone levels that God gave me. There is no way that I will willingly go back to the way things were unless it is medically necessary. [/QUOTE]
