[QUOTE="aneuman, post: 265160, member: 43264"] I can't answer your question, but I can relate to your case and give you my experience. You got me at ", [I]apathetic, affecting marrage[/I]". I know exactly what you mean as around that time, I was exactly in the same situation you are now, and my T and E2 levels were very similar to yours. At the time, my doctor said I was "okay" and I was probably depressed (welcome to capitalist medicine) and prescribe lexapro which made things much worse. It wasn't until 5 years later, at 58, that I decided to go to a specialist and get treatment. I started with HCG monotherapy, which made things much, much better, for 3 weeks. Then switched to enclomiphene, which made my numbers much, much better, and brought some much needed improvement to mood, lethargy and apathy, but made sex worse. I then started combining both trying to devise my own winning formula, only to finally quit and started TRT at 60. I cannot say it has been a miracle, but it has improved many areas or my life. I'm much less prone to anger fits, I overreact much less than before, I'm sleeping a tad better (without medicines) and my marriage is now in a much better place. Sex has improved as well, but I still do not have a cape, I still wear my underwear on the inside and I can't fly. I'm just a 60 year old with less problems than before. It's been only 4 months, so maybe the cape comes later and well as flying abilities, but based on my experience, I think that I could have probably benefited if I had started earlier, at about your age. I would have avoided a lot of arguments, and would have enjoyed life more, I think. Having said that, there are risks as well associated with TRT, such as having to inject for the rest of your life, it takes time, effort and frustration to find the right dose/protocol, some have increased blood pressure, erythrocytosis, etc. You should balance that with other medical conditions you may have . I suggest, when analyzing TRT, to take off any pink-colored glasses you may have, and look at risks and benefits with a naked eye so you can make a good decision. I cannot recommend or discourage you from taking TRT as I am not a medical doctor and I don't know you or your health history, but your case looks similar to mine, and thus far I think it's a plus. Ask me after 10 years pinning twice a week, I hope my answer is still the same. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
