    my personal journey with HRT

    at first i used Test to supplement my bodybuilding and even used Anavar at one point for a while.
    i haven't worked out for a while due to injuries and because i lost interest.
    i struggle with depression and "Bi-Polar II" and decided that i wanted to stop having to use an antidepressant.
    however, i still take a mood stablizer. i researched and found that having low testosterone can affect mood, however,
    i was also warned by a psychiatrist that using Testosterone can cause depression in 40% of users (i think).
    i went to a leading endo and he was able to prescribe Test E inject and is a keen advocate of HRT.
    at first he wouldn't give me a prescription. the 2nd time i was tested, he felt there was a legal case due to my being just below the low end.
    after some experimentation on dosage, i've recently been prescribed 37.5ml once per week. this was a shortage this summer of Test E and i switched
    to Cyp and felt that i went crazy with sex and anger.
    my dose was recently lowered to 37.5 because my hemaglobin (sp?) was found to be high and the Endo talked about me having to possible have my blood leeched or something (blood-letting?).
    So, i had a CDC and my hemaglobin was found to be only a few points above normal. Also, every time i saw my Endo i'd have a finger prostate test. we also had to check my levels for liver to make sure that they are safe/healthy. i'm still a little worried about my higher than normal hemaglobin count.
    anyway. i still find that i am affected by mood and do get very depressed. i truly can't say if it has made a difference or not.
    i've been using the Test E for a few years now.

    are you using a gel or injections? Also, has he checked your e2 levels?
