Have you found any clinical literature citing this association? I know that there is considerable speculation these days that there may be a causal link with antidepressants and T levels, but I am aware of only one study reporting this conclusion.

There are indeed data on neuroletpics, but I am not aware of data on antidepressants.

Please enlighten me. Thanks.

> Since I got diagnosed with low testosterone, Ive been reading up on drugs that lower testosterone levels in men. Ive found that most of the psychiatric drugs lower testosterone levels and increase estrogen levels...really bad for men. SSRIs increase estrogen, which has indirect effects (negative) on testosterone.

Its time for the pharmaceutical industry and psychiatric profession to start tailoring drugs for male depression...SSRIs arent exactly the best antidepressants for male depression.
