hello guys im a 21 yr old male
i have trained all my life sports and body building
i have been on various anti depressants for about 8 months and after stopping them 4 months ago i experienced a crash where my testicles shrunk,errections and libido gone and have very severe fatigue
im looking forward to experiment with some medications like clomid,arimidex,hcg etc..
at what forum should i post about this problem here so i can get help?
regards
Why did you stop taking them, what medication were you on, and what kind of protocol or gear are/were you on for training/bodybuilding? Have you run any labs, i.e. estradiol, total and free T? My advise is don't start screwing around with drugs like armedrix or AI inhibitors until you get some labs. Hcg is a safe add to increase size and volume in your testicles but can add to armatization into estrogen.
Good luck.

Welcome.
You are too young to have such issues, weird. Never heard that antidepressants led testicles to shrink.
However, please get a bloodwork done and do whatever you do under a doctor’s supervision. It is no joke to play with your hormones in your age.
And I want to add to marinsarge’s comment that arimidex won’t help with the intratesticular estrogen issue you ‘ll run into when you use excess amounts of hCG.
i was on many 5-6 different AD
i will do hormone tests for shure,but my problem won't be recognised by the medical community not by endos and psychiatrist
My problem is with htpa axis,my brain doesn't signal my testes for normal sexual function due to the medication AD i took.My last and only hope is this forum,just like u restart hpa axis after TRT,mb with that logic and some luck i will be able to restart the function and get going normal.
note that i never took any hormones but my testicles,and other things down there don't work like they should
I think i have medication induced secondary hypogonadism and im trying to reverse it somehow if thats possible
Labs, and find a Dr that DOES understand men and hrt, as well as the connection between brain and body. Most all AD's will have some to major sexual side effects with wellbutrin coming in with the least. If you stopped taking them your hormones and chemicals are affected such as serotonin levels. There are great articles on men's health that explain the complex array of necessary hormones and chemicals that go into the health of your penis and testicles. It can be frustrating but there are Dr's that can help.

Can you exactly tell what medications were you on?Quote:

There is some research that says for young folk one good shot of Test can help restart the system flowed by clomid and hcg. Proviron has been found to be just as effective as prozac at being an antidepressant for men (but at high doses). It could be that a hormone imbalance is the root cause of your depression as well do it would be a good idea to get you hormone levels checked. Good luck.
i was on sertraline,venlafaxine,doxepin, amitriptyline,escitalopram,trazodone
the trazodone was my last pill and that destroyed me
i took only 1 antidepressant,never more than 1 at a time
i took each for 2weeks to a month and discontinued due to SE
tnx for u knowledgeQuote:

Everything seems pretty normal. Your Endo is saying you are fine based on the blood work.Quote:

This is the honest to gids truth I'm about to tell you here, I'm going to get flamed for it as well.
Ever hear of psilocybin therapy?
One good dose may help you "reset"

Have you tried having your BF/GF lick your taint? That’s like an erection pressure point due to all the neurology down there. Similar to a prostate massage like they do to get sperm samples...
No sense screwing around about it tell them to aim for your belly button. ;)Quote:
