[QUOTE="Sterling, post: 5335, member: 41"] Nelson, It was a tough decision to stop trt as I was just beginning to realize the benefits but I am vain. I've been successfully battling hair loss for over 22 years and I just wasn't interested in sacrificing my hair for the sake of feeling like I'm in my 20's. Prior to starting trt, I had my T levels checked as well as everything else you mentioned in your post. My levels were a tick above 300, I sleep about 8 hours a night (I do get up at 4a.m.), take no medication (except Fiansteride since 1999), blood and thyroid levels are normal, no other diseases including heart disease. I've seen a cardiologist over the last 9 years (family history) and have had every heart test known to man except the Gold Standard angiogram. All tests were normal including my thallium stress test done as a base line a few years back. I have not seen a doctor to rule out depression but so far haven't found the need for an evaluation. I recently read a post from you about T and Finasteride. I've used that med since 1999 and perhaps all or most of my symptoms are related to that medication. I'm not sure as I have discussed this with my doctor and he has reservations about the drug causing the things I mentioned above. Someone suggested a thorough exam with a urologist and disclosing the use of Finasteride and see what he/she suggests. Thanks for taking the time to respond and I'll keep you posted about my visit with the urologist and go from there. [/QUOTE]
