Is this how Testosterone causes depression?

[r1]

I have never done AAS or anything like that prior to getting on HRT. My levels were consistently in the low to mid 200's and since I've had some problems over the past 5 years with depression and anxiety, HRT seemed like a really good option. My uncle has low test as well, so maybe there is a genetic component. Low to mid 200's isn't terribly low overall, but my doc said, "for a young whippersnapper like you, it's really low!"

We'll see what my doc says about 100mg per week. At 200 mg every 3 weeks, it was a real rollercoaster ride. So far, at 100mg every 2 weeks, my dick has been a non-functional ornament. I hate it.

This thread is depressing for me, here's why: I have never injected test yet, but I was under the impression that while on, you have a greater sense of well being, and that you are happier and just feel better all the way around (sex drive, energy, etc). You are saying it does the opposite for you ? Good luck, and bump for a good explanation.

I dont get the "well being" sense, I did once, when I was on QV test and that was the very first time I injected.

hang in there.. this sounds like legitimate use of hrt which always isn't the case and sounds like a little adjusting will work.. hang in there

I sincerely wish you the best of luck. Ulter & Macro know what they are talking about, sounds like a new schedule would do the trick. Unfortunately many MD's don't know alot specifically about AAS usage or even HRT (I know this because I have quizzed my MD before). If your MD doesn't agree with the change, go to an endocrinologist.

this is what drew me to testosterone in the first place, well being, vigor, boner's, energy ect. sadly my life plummets on test, i turn into an introvert, i wanna slash my wrists, i get gyno, my hair receeds, i get so much anxiety i go to the gym 1-2 times a week if that. primo is the hardest androgen i will ever run again in my future cycles if any.

I haven't felt shitty all of the time on Test...just some of the time. Some of the time, I have felt pretty damn good!

I have 600mg (3 2mL bottles) of Depotestosterone at my disposal. So, I'm gonna try 100mg/week for the next 6 weeks and see how it goes.

If I feel like shit, I'm gonna get off of HRT. A small percentage of people report feeling like shit (as georgie pointed out) on Test. I'm hoping I'm not one of them and this new dosing scheme should allow me to tell.

I hope it works out because I feel like Test has been better to me than antidepressants....some of the time.

We'll see...starting this Friday.

I’m on TRT and smoke a lot of CRACK too. But since my total test was 71 (Seventy-One) at age 35 due to years of AS abuse, I get 200mg/week/Depo and Arimidex.

But what I’ve noticed (With Me)
At 200mg I feel OK.
At 400mg I feel like a Horny Junk Yard Dog and feel great
At 800mg I feel like crap and don’t even think about sex unless my chic undresses in front of me.
Again (With Me) 6 days post injection I start to get a little dumpy. I take my Injections every 5 days

Where’s my Crack Pipe?.....

i used research ancillires armidex and nolva, used them both and still nips hurt so bad i though they were being sliced with razors.

i dunno if i can risk running test again even with LEGIT pharmacy anti-e's.. maybe one day when i get the gawl.

i been off for a while and i feel almost great, strong libido, great positive attitude, great sense of well being, im going to gym 4-5 times a week, im prolly over training but im happy going to gym w/out mind games from test. maybe steroids are not for me?

i may run a light nandrolone cycle in the future with LEGIT anti-e's on hand

but for right now im ENJOYING life too much to return to that dark chamber.

everyone has problems and what not, but i think gear makes them feel 1000% times worste and more severe than they really are.

life without anxiety is great.

I read somewhere that the half-life of Test Cypo is around 14 days. Assuming I read correctly, going from one shot per 3 weeks (1.5 half lives) to one shot per week (0.5 half lives) may very well do the trick.

Thanks,
