I was wondering if anyone could give their experiences with TD testosterone gel and how quickly it raised DHT. I know there are a lot of determining factors but i'm just looking for personal experiences with time frames or general information to give me an idea.
I've lost my sex drive due to stress of divorce and depression and found that having been off TRT for a while during this time my testosterone dropped to 260 and this has been making my depression extremely bad. My last DHT test was in mid 2017 and was only 37 which was down from 46 a couple of months earlier.
I suspect that my DHT has really tanked. I have all these symptoms of PFS but have never taken any of those drugs.
Some of the symptoms i have
Loss of libido (sexual interest)
Depression
Erectile dysfunction (impotence)
Loss of a pleasurable orgasm (sexual anhedonia)
Loss of nocturnal emissions
Weak orgasms
Loss of spontaneous or morning erections
Scrotal numbness and shrinkage
Diminished semen force and volume
Decreased body temperature
Loss of strength and muscle mass
Panic attacks
Anxiety
Sense of hopelessness
Severe recall/memory impairment
Decreased comprehension
Impaired problem-solving abilities
Foggy mental processing
Lack of initiative
Constant waking through the night
Disruptive sleep and waking cycles
Feelings of melancholy and sadness
Suicidal ideation (thoughts)
Shrinkage of the penis
Prostate, Testicular, or epididymis pain
Cognitive impairment
Lack of energy and stamina
Loss of excitement
Loss of passiveness and aggression
Severely dry skin
Emotional lability
Elevated fasting triglyceride and glucose levels
The doc put me on 10% Atrevis gel at 1gram/day. I've been on it two days and took one of my last shots i had left the week before and i'm already feeling better as far as the depression. I believe getting the DHT into the upper quadrant area will help a ton.
Any info or advice is greatly appreciated.
