[QUOTE="bixt, post: 202107, member: 39921"] The dopamine rush is usually responsible for the feel good which goes away couple weeks later despite high TT / FT numbers. In these cases I am strongly inclined to now believing a lot of these guys have undiagnosed subclinical depression resulting in anhedonia, decreased drive etc (but not what we usually feel is depression i.e. sorrow, misery, etc) The honeymoon leads these guys into believing the issue is hormonal, as it temporarily alleviated the symptoms. With this in mind, an appropriate diagnosis should be obtained and a dopamine agonist such as bupropion would return the lack of drive and zest for life. For those seeking a drug free approach, mindfull meditation may be even more effective as raising dopamine / receptors, but is quite difficult to learn for most who seek something effortless. SSRIs are the wrong solution in this case. TRT may still be required if T is low. [/QUOTE]
