I am 55 in good health but have been feeling like crap for many years, 8 to 10 to be exact. I don't just complain I research, I talk to my doctor, I work out, and I eat rite. I lost 20 pounds, I cut way down on my sugar and my blood pressure is back to normal. I was treated for hepatitis twice, the old brutal interferon regimen. the hepatitis C is now undetectable.
I am on Methadone for a addiction to opiates but have bin off of illegal drugs for about 12 years. I cut my dose over time to half it was before. with all this clean responsible living I still feel like sh!t. I told my doctor how I felt and he had no problem putting me on any anti depressant I wanted,for life but could offer no other help even though I insisted that I was not depressed. I finally found a story on line about a study showing that strong long acting pain killers like Methadone lower your testosterone.
I did hours of research and was feeling confident that I had found an answer to my many years of feeling that life was over. He started me on 100 mg once a month, ridicules I know but thought he would raise my dose. He prescribed me multi dose bottles and said he would see me in 3 months. I raised my dose, I know all about the risk but was so! tired of feeling so bad. I have been on 100mg a week for 3 months and it literally changed my life. I feel 15 years younger, depression is gone and anxiety is much better, I started loosing more weight and I want to do things again even interested in girls again. I feel great no sh!t. Now the doctor is giving me a hard time about raising my dose. I was going to discuss it with him till he told me that testosterone has nothing to do with my mood. That I could use my multi dose bottle for over 10 months. that the half life for Test cypionate is not 8 days but thirty with no ups or downs. At that point I decided I was not going to let this ass run my therapy.
I am now going to get my own Test Cyp and monitor my own blood an keep listening to people who know what they are talking about. I am poor financially but not mentally. could use a little help on how to do this myself because I am not going back to feeling like life is not worth living. I also was not being the best dad that I could be please help.
