[QUOTE="Dasein88, post: 137923, member: 38254"] Why is your cortisol low? To my knowledge, I've never had cortisol tested, but that is one of the factors I believe could be affecting my health. My belief is that I have inflammation (trendy word, at the moment). I have Hashimoto's, which is an autoimmune disease. Both of my grandfathers had autoimmune diseases (type I diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis). I have a lot of joint discomfort, mainly, my neck and back. It's reached the point where I think I have some kind of condition that hasn't been diagnosed or I just have excess inflammation. I don't know whether that would mean low cortisol or high cortisol. Lexapro: I am currently off of Zoloft. After thinking it over, I don't feel like it makes sense that I need to stay on an antidepressant in order to tolerate TRT. It indicates to me that something is wrong if I need a powerful psychoactive substance to counterbalance another. If that is the case, I think I should try something else, as far as TRT, or quit TRT. As you mention, there's always the desire to feel better, which is why I am keeping my mind open to other methods. When I read the stories of men who suffer for years trying to find a TRT regimen that works, to no avail, it makes me leery of continuing. [/QUOTE]
