im 42 years old and I have been suffering from extreme depression for YEARS but the past 2 years has been horrible, i started seeing a Dr she gave me a full panel blood test found my thyroid was low, been on a million different anti depressants that have not helped, a few wks ago I asked if I had ever had my Testosterone tested she looked and said no, i asked to have it done she said it prolly wasn't the case cause i'm so young.. I said I wanted it done.. it came back as a 40, and my free testosterone was 2.6 we had a 2nd test done and it came back as 47 I have an appointment with a Urologist next week and I can't wait.. I hope they put me on the shots IMMEDIATELY it explains so many things with me... I have ZERO ENERGY I can sleep 10 hours and wake up feeling like i had no sleep.. at work i feel like i'm going to collapse, have damn near lost my job because of it

I now switched to trt nation online and do self injections, 100 mgs every 3.5 days. I really hope you feel better soon. Im blown away and tell everyone I know my age and up about it.

I'm in the same boat you were. Depression, anxiety, no drive, no motivation, no focus, and tired 24/7. It's debilitating at the least.

I started TRT about two weeks ago. I had testicular cancer back in 2015 and had an orchiectomy. Since I only had one of my boys, eventually it could not keep up with testosterone production and I started feeling low T symptoms: weight gain, massive drop in energy, no libido and depression. It's amazing to me that my doctor at the time of my surgery never told me that I would eventually suffer from low T. I'm hoping to start feeling better soon and have enjoyed watching your videos so far. Thanks for the advise. Great job guys!

I question if the folks that feel it sooner have lower than normal T levels and also more symptoms. The more I research this the more I see folks in “normal” levels getting TRT.

I started TRT 4 weeks ago, 100mg Test Cypo/wk, 3 pins MWF. I feel like crap. What really concerns me is after trimming some hedges for 30 mins or so... my left arm (the one holding the trimmer up) got REALLY weak, still weak day after... is this normal? Am I doing something wrong? My Free T has been around 5.2ng/dl for years... low libido/motivation and worried about cardiac and cancer risk for low T. Any advice? Am I starting too high? Update... feeling MUCH better... guess it just took time to acclimate... after 5 weeks, Free T is up to 11.5... I hope it keeps improving...

[@rcf3773]

100 mg a week really isn't that high and you're too early in to have any effect from it. I'm going to say you're just experiencing some anxiety. I've been watching a lot of these trt videos and most of these guys don't look like they need it. I'll go as far as to say the one guy in this video looks like an experienced steroid. user

[@GeorgeKnew]

@@rcf3773 Yes... turns out that closing out my 5th week, I am starting to feel much better... not sure if it is only the TRT, as I stopped puffing a small amount of grass daily, stopped the small glass of red wine for lunch too... and am eating pretty much only fresh veggies and Ezekiel bread toast and some fruit. Not missing the grass so much, but missing the wine! I will be asking to go to 150mg today at the UroDoc appt.

[@GeorgeKnew]

@@GokuPlaysUK Hi, much better, thanks! I'm not sure exactly what caused me to feel so bad, maybe a combo... but I took a .125 of anastrozole and felt better quickly, so maybe my e2 was too high... my new labs... Free t is up from 5.2 to 11.0... estradiol down to 17... maybe effects from the AI... the shakiness might have been from low blood sugar... I was skipping dinner often... not doing that any more...

[@GeorgeKnew]

@Phry3 tura Thanks... but my e2 has been pretty stable... actually went down a little, from 39 to 30 on TRT... But yes, I think the weed and wine combined to give me some gastroparesis symptoms, which may be what made me feel crappy. I am taking a short break from both to see what's what.

Why do some men experience roid rage and others are fine? And depersonalization, what could help this?

[@mrofnocnon]

TRT is not roids. Dose is far lower in terms of testosterone as well.

[@Encourageable]

TRT is indeed steroids - just not the hardcore stuff the pros use. I take TRT and when my T levels are high I’m prone to an occasional short fuse. That’s the only thing I don’t like about it cause I’m normally pretty mellow. And it’s not something I can control through reasoning - it just comes out. I was mellow when I was younger (when my T levels were high normally) so I’m not really sure why it happens. Fortunately it doesn’t happen often. Honestly, don’t let that stop you from trying it. Not sure what you mean by depersonalization - I’ve not heard of that as a side effect - I don’t sense anything like that - if anything I’m more gregarious.

[@mrofnocnon]

@@Encourageable That's interesting if anything I feel more mellow on TRT. I would suggest there is some other factor causing your anger. It could be your dose is incorrect as well.

Can you use a vial for over 1 month once opened? Or do u have to throw away after 1 month?

[@balancemyhormones]

Multidose vials whilst convenient are considered to increase the risk of contamination the longer they are opened and used. Everytime you puncture the rubber bung you risk introducing new contaminants into the solution. Even bacteriostatic agents may not be enough to stop risk of infection if vials are kept after opening for more than the tested and recommended time alloted by the manufacturer.

Does TRT make me lose hair?

[@balancemyhormones]

TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) may cause hair loss in some men who are genetically predisposed to male pattern baldness. Testosterone can be converted into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that can shrink hair follicles and lead to hair loss. However, not all men who undergo TRT experience hair loss, and the risk may be mitigated by using medications such as finasteride or dutasteride to block the conversion of testosterone to DHT. It is important to discuss any concerns about hair loss with your healthcare provider before starting TRT. The theory that DHT is not the direct cause of hair loss is based on the idea that it is not DHT itself that causes hair loss, but rather an inflammatory response to DHT in the scalp. This theory suggests that DHT interacts with the androgen receptors in hair follicles, causing inflammation that leads to the miniaturization of the follicles and eventually hair loss. This is why some medications like finasteride, which blocks the conversion of testosterone to DHT, can help slow down or reverse hair loss. However, it is important to note that there is still ongoing research in this area and not all experts agree with this theory. The role of DHT in hair loss is complex and likely involves multiple factors, including genetics and hormonal imbalances. It is also important to understand that while TRT may increase DHT levels, it does not necessarily mean that it will cause hair loss for everyone. The impact of TRT on hair loss can vary from person to person and is best discussed with a healthcare professional.

Eric Morris please consult your doctor as we cannot give medical advice but subQ injections are notorious for causing those lumps.
