Testosterone for depression..YES...

It's a meta-analysis, which I am not too fond of, but provides important points:

I am currently on my second trial, so....will see what happens. First time....after about a month of daily use, provided a DAMN incredible, pleasant up-lifting feel. I wasn't a 'sexmachine'. lol, but lost some weight, and that feel-good thing was working well. (A bit too well...I was getting into hypomania a bit. Sex was awesome, something my SRI/SNRI's destroyed!) But, was spending too much money on women, my downfall as always!

Will keep posted...

Yeah, I have flirted with the idea of Testosterone more than once. It seems to work for many things.

Were you deficient? Has a doctor prescribed? I have been telling older posters of this board to get their free testosterone checked.

As I recall it, you were about to try it, but you changed your mind, I think because you were concerned that it would lower endogenous TS production.

Exactly. If T stays low it will get lower with age so at some point, I will probably do it.

It is low but not to a pathological extent.

My T improved to right in the middle of the reference range. I consume more fat. Low fat diets are trash.
