i get you. it’s weird that even with trt you don’t feel the benefits since thats was the thing that got wrecked when you dieted down? im actually scare man. right now im young (27) have dropped college, feel fucked, low test in the 100’s and don’t know what to do. i started prozac this week (10mg) to deal with depression and ocd. ocd took over my life and i will take control of it. i accepted i have this, but i won’t let ocd control me, i will control the ocd! i took a month and like 1-2 weeks (can’t remember if it was one week or two lol) off the weights to see if i recover, but imo ocd got worst and also depression so this week i started again, but i gotta ask, should i give it more off time? im scared i might not be able to workout without feeling fucked up again :/.
you mentioned cortisol. my blood am cortisol scored normal and a bit higher (tested a few times) but urine 24 tested high. i think urine was taken while in a day i was lifting weights.
does this mean anything?
you mention lexapro. im on prozac. why people say no to ssri? im wondering if this will help
lastly, i had the same thing you had. i yoyo with weight. went from 170 ish to 140 ish then went up and then went down again and if i remember correctly im 147.5 right now and im 6’3” i wanted to check if maybe going to 170 might increase t. but i scored low t when i was 170 ish already :/
