testosterone

[Guyindubai]

Anyone here on testosterone injections or testosterone therapy? 

 

IF so does testosterone worsen your HPPD or make it better?

 

I am currently on testosterone therapy, been on it for 1 year, and recently started to feel very strong panic, anixity, anger, depression, not sure if the testosterone is causing it, or my medicine which is Klonopin 2mg and Keppra 500mg stopped working..

Testosterone pretty much makes people angry and tough

Got hppd right when I hit puberty, all I can say is it did not help emotion wise

[Guyindubai]

Ya well it's been making me moody angry sad nervous and anxious at time...

[Guyindubai]

My Visuals surfaced again, feeling weird like I'm dizzy somewhat a lot of headches and my hands shake, feeling something weird in the gut this anxious scared feeling, having sudden spike in anixity.... Can't tell if the test is doing this...

[Mr.50's]

Get off the testosterone, why are you even on it?

[Guyindubai]

I am on it because i suffered from low or non existant lebido, and manly problems from long use off SSRI-- but im going to see my urologist tomorrow to get off it.

Something that makes no sense what so ever is... all google researches google etc shows that testosterone decreases the anxiety never increases it.. therefore Im considering my meds might have stopped working.. but im gna check with my doctor tomorrow about the T, he should know more.

Saw my doctor just yesterday.. He said that this is a possible side effect having anixity anger etc as your body is reacting to normal levels of test.

But my anixity sympots have disappeared since 3 days ago... Which leaves me to wonder... Since I didn't have work since 3 days and I'm currently on a vacation.. Maybe my anixity was showing up because of the lack of sleep and the huge workload ?? I mean as soon as I had my vacation start I could feel so much better and not a single sympot of anixity was around

Your thoughts??

[Jay1]

anxiety and stress go hand in hand... work can certainly cause stress

 

I would get off the testosterone anyway though and also get off the SSRI (if you still take it?). See if you get your libido back

[Guyindubai]

I'm not on any SSRI, haven't been on one since a year.. the test will leave my system in about 1-2 month therefore I need to make certain if the anixity does surface again while on the test is still in my system. Will monitor myself for a a week or two and give an update here regarding the sympots

[Guyindubai]

So just got my Test levels back, and they are pretty low for the medcine I am on.. I am having a total of 400 and free of 9.12 ... And they say low test can cause anixity and deppression therefore maybe i never had the right amount of test in my body, but I am lacking enough test ... It's pretty confusing at this stage....

Interesting... Before I really understood what I was dealing with, I was prescribed finasteride (Propecia) for hair loss.  Unexpectedly, I started feeling improvement in all my symptoms of fatigue, mood and pain.  Then I noticed my vision was clearing up also.  Within about 4-5 weeks I was about 100% removed from all symptoms.  However, because of side effects I had to stop taking it after a year and I started feeling all those symptoms come back.

 

I could never make the full connection as to why Finasteride helped me so much, but I do know it's main job is to stop the conversion of testosterone into DHT (dehydrotestosterone).  Thought you might find that interesting.
