[QUOTE="AlwaysCold, post: 67397, member: 15448"] Thanks for the replies! Vince, I was put on Paxil for OCD in 1999, I was on a much higher dose but have been slowly weaning down over the years. It's one of the hardest things to get off of once you have been on it for a long period of time. I think the side effects of being on it, as well as the withdrawal side effects of missing a dose are worse than anything I was ever put on it for. I do believe there is a connection with it and low T and other issues I have, a Dr will never admit this though. Coastwatcher, I was honestly expecting lower numbers but I guess 429 isnt exactly great for a 34 year old. Im not confident at the current discount medical place's ability to put me on TRT, so that's another can of worms completely. The first person I saw there refused my RX for cialis and generic viagra and told me to do a testosterone test, then told me "all you do is take a pill if it's low". I went in another day and spoke with a better nurse practitioner who knew the side effects of paxil, had no issues writing the RX's for the other stuff, but we didnt get into TRT or any of that crap yet. I have only been to this place a couple of times, before that I havent had a regular Dr in years, just another discount clinic I go to for my Paxil refills and the occasional oddball thing. Both nurse practitioners at the most recent lower cost clinic (their angle is they dont accept insurance but offer medical memberships at a discounted rate) said my blood work from December looked fine. Major family history of heart issues and the thick blood as well as high cholestoral numbers are kind of alarming to me, but they didnt bat an eye. My Dad died of a heart attack at 37, my grand dad on that side had a heart attack and later died of lung cancer, dad's sister had a heart attack and later died of lung cancer, dad's sister's daughter (my cousin obviously lol) is a little younger and had recent minor heart surgery as well as has some blood clotting issue where both times she was pregnant they considered high risk of death when giving birth.
