See...there you go bad mouthing testosterone. A lot of people do it. My T levels were below that of a 60 year old man at age 34. Gee, in my real life offline EVERYBODY is complimenting me on how Ive changed on Testosterone. I was in the grocery store today and felt so nicer to everyone but more focused and assertive. Like a MAN. Not some clinically depressed, wussified, withdrawn sissy.

I had an identical testosterone blood draw done last December when I had been off all antidepressants for about six weeks. My testosterone test came back normal. Then, less than one year later after having been on the SSRI Zoloft for about six months, I have the EXACT SAME TEST, at the same doctors office, using the same lab, blood drawn at the same time of the day. I flunked it bigtime. WHY? Why is that? Do you think it maybe had something to do with the Zoloft? I think there is that possibility.


Like I said, I presented a bunch of credible sources for you. Its a hard fact if a drug can increase estrogen or prolactin (SSRIs do this) then testosterone levels can go down. Go ahead and deny this, I could give a shit. All I know is Im going to be going back to work soon cause I got the dx of low testosterone from my internal med doctor and go on Androgel and a huge burden will be taken off myself and my poor, financially strapped family (cause psychiatry is piss poor at fixing severe mental illness and they are scared of developing REAL drugs that actually work).
