[QUOTE="KenLowT, post: 142344, member: 18755"] This is an interesting post. I have never seen men receive TRT and then suddenly have mood/mental issues. For me, myself, and I, TRT has done absolutely nothing to improve my libido which is why I started in the first place. However, during this TRT journey I realized that it was my low level anxiety that was probably the main factor in why my libido was non existent. Performance anxiety to be exact has been debilitating. TRT did nothing for me mentally, it may have eased anxiety a bit, but not overall. I realize this now because I started taking an antidepressant which has given me more confidence in bed and eased that constant tension I was feeling to perform. Anti depressants are known to be libido killers, but my libido was low when I wasn't on them as well and TRT did nothing for it. I believe the anxiety is the cause of all my issues and until I ruled out testosterone issues I would not have thought this. I'm still on TRT, but I pretty much know that I can't sustain this with no concrete evidence that it's actually helping me in the bedroom. Sure I feel a bit more energy, but nothing like consistently weight training does for me. I feel I would actually do better if I stopped TRT cold turkey, one less foreign chemical in my body. The only other effect that testorone replacement has given me is the need for more medication to combat my E2 from going high, and shoulder acne which I never had before. If unlike me you are starting to have mental issues that you never had before then it could be a side effect of E2 getting out of control. If you already had anxiety or depressive feelings before starting TRT then it can either help if it's hormone related or not help you if its neurotransmitter related. My issue seemed to be not enough serotonin in the brain. I look forward to getting off this stuff soon, but I want to make sure the withdrawal symptoms are not horrible. When I got off HCG monotherapy I was stuck with ED for a few weeks. [/QUOTE]
