[QUOTE="mrwalker, post: 191534, member: 41511"] Hey folks, I'm Tom and I've started taking testosterone just a few months ago. It's a life changer for me. For many years, I had trouble with depression. I went to different physicians, would get an anxiolytic prescribed but I was never "fine". My aha moment only happened when a friend told me about his TRT treatment. After that, I started bio-identical hormone therapy and figured out that my low testosterone had a huge factor in my depression. A few months into the treatment I learned that there is no such a thing as "bio-identical testosterone" and moved to IM injections with test. cypionate (Found my sweet spot at 120 mg/week. Started with 180 mg/week and many collaterals). Nowadays, I've been doing shallow IM (25 g and 5/8 inches needle) and looking for a new doctor. Unfortunately, in the state that I live in, there is still some bias against TRT. Therefore, is hard to find someone that would prescribe it or have any idea about what they are doing... For example, I'm at the point that I need to ask my doctor to include in my blood exam E2, SHBG, etc... Or, my HCT is sky high (55) and I was advised to drink more water... Anyway, living and learning... [/QUOTE]
