[QUOTE="Stpfan, post: 195337, member: 39333"] Thanks for all the posts fellas. Much appreciated! Had the follow up appointment earlier today. Really a bunch of BS.... We went over all the symptoms I was experiencing. ED, No Penile Sensation. You feel no desire... numb to anything. He said why didn't you take the Lexapro 5mg that your PCP wanted you to take? I said because the majority of the people around me who have taken it... their lives aren't better. In fact... it seems their lives are worse. I said yeah... I have ED and yeah... my sex life is lousy... my goal is to run optimal being on TRT... not average. But seeing how other peoples lives are.... in regards to anti depressants... I guess that's just the hand I was dealt in life? I said your only recommendation is me seeing a psychiatrist? He said... your hormone levels are above normal. This is s mental issue and not really a hormonal issue. (And I was trying to act professional as possible... because this is a bunch of BS.) I said... what other protocol do you recommend? 1. He said you can switch to a Testosterone Gel. It will probably run $50.00 a month from a compound lab. But, before I allow you to do this.. you must first quit your current protocol for 30 days COLD. We will run labs again.... and then we will run the Testosterone Gel protocol. I was like.... wow. I said... do you have any other ideas?? 2. If you feel it's your Estradiol that's causing the ED or other imbalance... you will drop your Testosterone injections to 50mg every 3.5 days. And I will prescribe you Anastrozole. You will take it 1 mg every 3.5 days on your injection days. Then we will run labs 6 weeks after you've started the Anastrozole. I said... why can't you just prescribe the AI right now on my 130mg of Testosterone Cyp a week?? I feel fine on it.

I said... well what about running other labs like... 4 point salivary cortisol? DHEAS? Pregnenolone? Prolactin? Etc??? He said... there's no need to run these labs. Wouldn't matter with your sexual desire or ED. So... there you have it... he's basically saying everything is in my head.... and I need to see a psychiatrist lol Yep... it's in my mind! lol I told him... doctor... if you had ED for 3 years... and you're still in your early 40's.... and you had no issues in your 20's at all... and you had all the confidence in the world back then.... and all of a sudden it's gone... your head wouldn't be right either. There's nothing wrong with my mind. I said thank you for your professionalism... and walked out. Should I try just supplementing DHEA and Pregnenolone? How many MG's? Or any other advice? [/QUOTE]
