In need of some help here guys.

I am 38 years old, 228lbs, 6ft. I am going on Test Enanthate at 200mg per week due to my natural test levels being very low.....225! I have suffered for over 10 years with anxiety and been put on almost every mental health medication for it and am now currently on Valium, Celexa and Klonopin.........Bur reading up on Testosterone some say it makes them so anxious. My thoughts are..... If my natural Test levels are so low could this cause my anxiety anyway so having TRT may help?

Any thoughts/help would be great.

BuidlingPaul,

I have just started to come out of my nightmare after almost two years of anxiety that could kill a whole village, depression that incapacitated me, lethargy, antidepressents, millions of doctors visits and sooooo much more. I lost my job, my house, my wife, my family, my savings and my manhood to this horrific journey. My numbers were recently (T Free= 1.1 and T Total= 49). The guys on this site helped navigate me out of the nightmare and I'm enjoying a new dawn. Push for yourself with doctors for tests and support like you have never pushed before. The more information you get the better. If your doctors wont help, like my third endo and second uro did, find someone that CAN help. They are out there and they will help.

The most important thing to remember is that the way you feel is directly due to the imbalance of hormones in your body. Treat those feelings and emotions, as you try to correct them, like a dream and be assured that it is the T levels and not just "who you are." It takes a lot of mental strength, but you can do.....if you take the right steps, you will get out of this eventually.....and another piece of advice, don't be "patient" like my doctors asked me to be for 2 freaking years......get your tests, line your ducks up in a row and fix this crap now.....life is to short. If you have direct questions, since I know I am speaking broadly, please ask. I'm on T cyp injections of 200 mg/week and 50 units of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) twice a week. In just one week, I feel amazing. The gels didnt work for me and actually made things worse.....and the anti-depressents and anti-anxiety pills actually made me crazier......

Good luck!

TRT may absolutely help your anxiety. I have had several friends that were on the same meds as you and have weaned off of them. Some are tougher than others to stop taking. Your question referred to people having Testosterone increase their anxiety? I don't think that is true. The answer lies in balance. Too much Testosterone will mess with Estrogen levels. Estrogens can very well cause all of your similar symptoms as well. Good luck. I think you are startinng down a better path.

Yes, TRT will more than likely help you out. Good luck, hope it works for you.

Excellent help and support, thank you so much guys.

I have very low confidence yet people think I have loads of confidence but it is all a front. Feel tired, no motivation, no job, future is a blur, almost no sex drive.

I am lucky in the fact I have a very supportive girlfriend. I really don't like feeling like this as I don't want my daughter to pick up on it and she is now 14 years old so of the age where she is pretty much aware if I try to get out of something by lying and the reason I get out of things is due to my confidence. Thing is I am not a bad looking bloke.....I am half Italian so fairly tanned, 6ft, green eyes and always smiling and laughing, never really smile for me but for others as seeing others happy makes me happy......Stats are..... 48" chest, 16" arms, 18" neck, 34" waist and BF of 15%.

I must say again......Really means a lot that you guys are helping me, at least I can be really honest here and not lie or hide behind any barriers.

I think one of the most theraputic actions you can take is full acceptance of your situation and not feeling ashamed to talk about it.. I've recently come out to a few people about my depression and hearing them being accepting and helpful was like a big weight off my chest. Keeping things to yourself for fear of shame is the easy way out, opening up to the people you love is definitely not easy but honestly the best thing you can do. You're only human, there's no shame (although I know it feels the opposite) in opening up to people about your perceived problems, especially if its something you didn't choose to have or do. Just my 2 cents
