[QUOTE="Pacman, post: 232251, member: 2450"] That's not very high, but it's not exactly out of range either. What about the free T? DHT? etc ... Is this just one individual blood test, and not a comprehensive one at that? I am not in your shoes, but I would have been a much more hesitant to start someone with something that is a lifelong commitment when it may not even be what he needs. When I got tested for low T, my levels were less than 80 total, in 3 separate tests, all of which I took a week apart from each other. When I got to ~450 after a month on Androgel I felt AMAZING! Not everybody needs to have 900 total T to feel great.... If I could attain ~450 total T naturally I'd chuck out all my T vials in a heartbeat. This post kind of worries me... If at some point he won't have access to his exogenous T, his depression will be 100 times worse. You are directly causing him to be dependent on an external solution for a problem that may not even exist. Yeah it might help him [I]now[/I] in the short term, but it can very well turn into a curse later. I really do hope that this is what he needs since he already started, but damn, this does not seem like a wise thing to do... This post reminds me of that quote by Maslow - “If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.” [/QUOTE]
