[QUOTE="TucsonJJ, post: 183409, member: 40106"] Well, Nick, I am no expert, I just do a ton of reading and the guys here are great... IMO, your Free T is too low... yes, your lab says it is within range, but again, IMO, their range is absurd... LabCorp range for Free T is 6.6 to 18.1... but your total T is decent... did they test for SHBG? I would bet it is too high... as is your Albumin... both tie up testosterone, reducing Free T. I think personally, I would first try to raise the Free T naturally... some guys with more experience here could help, Boron? Zinc Picolinate? magnesium? but IMO, you need to seek another doctor... or if you have the bucks, maybe try Defy. I got my nose out of joint with their charges for the meds... I pay around $15 for my monthly test-cypionate, they say $250-300/month for Test, AI and HCG... the last two I'm not sure everyone needs... maybe seek a good endocrinologist near you... I have tried several SSRI's... they all have different effects... I was on Celexa for a few years... it worked, but turned me into a zero-libido zombie. Lexapro is similar... Prozac has helped many... but your low Free T may be responsible for any depression and/or anxiety you have, low libido/motivation... etc... so avoid SSRIs unless REALLY needed... [/QUOTE]
