    Well, I know something isn't right and maybe it's just something wrong upstairs and I need some type of antidepressants. I'm just tired of being tired and of getting angry so quickly and what seems like a lot of the time.

    testosterone would play only a part of depression. if the depression is serious then you should talk to a therapist first and foremost.

    but I will say that going on TRT for me, and some other men, that things in general got worse before they got better. it's one of the reasons I stress finding an expert in male HRT before you start whatever therapy.

    Like to hear what occurred HRT to make you feel that way. Just getting dialed in or something else? May help some others here as well.

    to put it as blunt as possible... it was probably placing too much emphasis on testosterone and estradiol. testosterone is good, but it's not a miracle drug... I think that if someone has a variety of troubles then they need to address a variety of areas and not trust that fixing testosterone alone will take care of them.

    This is just the first step. If my bw comes back good then I plan on seeing a doctor. I have to do something!
