Anyone able to recommend a decent TRT doc in Victoria, Australia?

[jsncrs]

I'm 26 years old, had my Test levels checked around 6 months ago and the results were:

Testosterone (Immulite) | 13.0 nmol/L

I asked my doctor about TRT but he basically shrugged it off saying I'm within the normal range. Despite this, I have many symptoms related to low Test: Low energy, mood swings, insomnia, low motivation, low libido, depression, bad anxiety, low self esteem and low confidence. I'm a hard gainer (muscle wise) and find it hard to drop abdominal body fat.

I've been on SSRI's which kind of worked, but made me feel like a zombie. I tapered off and kicked them. I really don't like SSRI's and don't want to go back on them.

I've seen two different doctors, neither of which took my questions / concerns seriously. I'd really like to speak to a doctor who knows their stuff regarding TRT. I've heard mixed reports on creams/gels, so I'd like to go with the injectable route.

Is anyone able to help? I'm really at a loss and don't know where to go from here.

In the short while....
get sleep study done and post complete lab work for us to see and get a clearer picture of what is going on.

Also wanted to mention...
TT levels are not really the most accurate thing to look at in terms of symptoms and the way you feel.
Free T and Bioavailable T are more directly correlated with symptoms of hypogonadism. ..
you can have 15 nmol/l TT and have low Free T and feel like crap.

Australia is tough... To the point where I would do self-TRT... And those levels are low, from memory the bottom of the range is 12 I think. The word TRT to 95% of Aussie doctors sets of alarm bells. I'm sure you'll see what I mean.

Yes, I'm serious. But dr. scout around and do some research in the meantime, chances are you will eventually if you do get it, get prescribed Androgel... I would at the very least push for a Nebido Shot, or ask for Primoteston.

I've got a good doctor, prescribes me my Test (Primoteston Depot), Adex and if I require it a SERM, hCG and I get my full blood panel done every 3 months. Great!

The only real setback (which put into perspective, for Australia and Testosterone I sound like a real whinger and should be glad I actually have it scripted) is that I have to go into the pharmacy every 3 weeks to pick up my fucking Test because we have a choice, if going down the injection route, of either Sus250 which comes in a box of 3x 1ml Amps, Primoteston Depot which comes in a box of 3x 1ml Test E pre-loaded barrels with complimentary javelin or the 4ml 1000mg Test U amp AKA Nebido. The problem is that they won't let you fill more than 1x box at a time meaning I have to go in every 3 weeks and wait 15 minutes to get Test. I have seriously considered just using UGL Test because it's annoying that Australia won't allow say the 10ml Waston Test E vials that you get in the US. Every time I ask them for two boxes, they say I can only have one, although maybe it is my pharmacy... It's just a small nuisance really and would be nice to go in once every 10 weeks for a box of adex and vial of test.

That's Australia for ya.

Have you attempted a restart yet? Always a good idea before considering TRT, especially self-prescribed TRT.

I managed to avoid TRT just by using clomid for a few months... any idea what your LH & FSH values are? If they are low try a clomid or toremefine protocol, if they are high you might look at a hCG + clomid protocol.

Explore your options.

Have you ever used steroids before either?
