    antidepressants induce hypogonadism

    hello all im hope im in the right place
    im 21yr old male
    the previous year i was put on antidepressants medication for abou 8 months for anxiety
    in those 8 months i switched between 5-6 different. AD due to sexual side effects they gave me
    After stopping all AD i experienced a "crash" where over night my testicles shrunk and i lost all sexual function inculing arousal,errection,libido, ejaculation etc..
    Now the theory is that my hpa axis got messed up and my brain doesn't command my testicles and dick to produce libido etc..
    I thought that like bodybuilders restart after TRT,mb with some luck i will do that thanks to HCG or clomid or smth..
    Monday i will do all hormones,but im pretty shure i have problem with low FSH and LH so im looking forward to hearing ur thoughts if that is possible?
    Before all this i trained every day and was in great shape physicaly and sexually
    This forum is my last hope,so i hope u can help me with any medication on ur mind
    Regards )

    Scary stuff for sure - my doctor told me (at least in Canada) a lot of antidepressants are being prescribed now at low doses over benzos for sleep aid. I used one for a total of 3 days and said F this and gave the rest back to the pharmacy. Good luck on recovery.

    I was prescribed Trazadone , my father-inlaw klonapins instead of ambien and my sister-in laws boyfriend something worst, cant remember the name . They wonder why people are so fucked up these days.

    Curious to why you believe your FSH and LH are low due to an antidepressant. None of the commercial SSRIs, SNRIs, or tricyclics have and direct effects on FSH or LH. Given some cause an acute rise in cortisol due to 5-ht1a and 5-ht2c agonism, and cortisol can lower LH and to some extent FSH depending on the study, long term use lowers cortisol which would actually allow your FSH or LH to return to baseline or even rise. Even if you believe dopamine is your problem which can be suppressed on antidepressants, cessation of the antidepressant would bring you back to baseline. It would seem something else is at play, but by all means get blood work as it would be nice to have a baseline.

    Did you get bloodwork before hormones?

    here are my results
    after all its not a hormonal problem and im more inclined towards prostatitis urethra etc..

    TSH 2.83 (0.27-4.20)
    fT4 15.10(10.30-24.45)
    FSH 7.02(1.6-12)
    LH 4.34(0.8-6.0)
    Estradiol 42.37(7-45)
    Prolactin 11.76(2.7-16.9)
    Testosterone 16.14(5.2-22.9)
    SHBG 51.6(15-120)

    i have been to an unconventional doctor and he said that i have inflamation in that area and will begin treatment soon

    what are ur thoughts about my hormones since u are more experienced and i dont believe endocrinologist that much

    im a 21 yr old male

    Your hormones are fine. Why do you think its prostatitis or urethritis? Do you have an elevated WBC count? Have you had sex with someone w/ gonorrhea or chlamydia? Do you have urethral discharge? If no to those questions you unlikely have either of them.

    its no to most of ur questions,but i have had pain in that area and can't push out urine forcefully
    idk the condition is messed up and seems unreal
    the last AD i took was a strong alpha blocker,when i stopped using it i stsrted having this shit so might be something there since alpha blockers are used for older men with prostate problems
