[QUOTE="CoastWatcher, post: 62981, member: 2624"] In all candor, you haven't had an appropriate workup if the only test pertaining to your hypogonadal status was total testosterone. Your doctor's cavalier approach to that low total testosterone value, put you on an antidepressant until you intervened, indicates he's not really qualified to manage your TRT protocol. At at the very least, you should have free testosterone, CBC, PSA, LH, FSH, estradiol (sensitive test), a full thyroid workup (TSH, t3, t4, rt3) DHT. Did your doctor tell you a significant number of men fail to see improvement on topical testosterone? It's an absorption issue (I failed miserably), and for those men injections are the preferred mode of delivery. Many of us found our initial attempts to obtain therapy were hindered by doctors who were clueless. Please let us know what else was ordered and how you are being monitored. [/QUOTE]
