[QUOTE="seaexplorer, post: 69606, member: 15150"] For some reason, my dipsh-t Dr didn't want to test my hormones because he said it "wasn't time" .... He said they only needed to be checked once a year during my annual physical and that my insurance wouldn't cover until it was time. It was about 3 months into my taper that I finally got him to cave in and test them and he only tested the total testosterone, nothing else, and that came back at under 200. I'm a mellow type-B person, but I seriously wanted to kick his a-- right there! I asked him how come my level is so low while I'm taking Androgel and his answer was "I don't know". He then prescribed an increase in the Androgel. No additional testing, no follow ups, and it just wasn't an option to even have a discussion with him on this. Anyway, getting off the Paxil was tough but very worth it. I was obviously prescribed it via a misdiagnosis. That drug did not agree with me from the first day I took it and it took months to get off of it and my brain chemistry to rebalance itself. If you decide to get off of it, I recommend doing very slow even if it takes a whole year or more. [/QUOTE]
