> Testosterone tends to have the most applicable use for depression. It tends to have similar qualities to increased dopamine as testosterone indirectly increases it (increased sexual interest, confidence, energy, etc...). Testosterone therapy isn't really a great long term solution though as it down regulates your own production, but some men use it regardless as their own natural production is impaired.
>Brian,
I also appreciated the detailed information. Do you happen to know if testosterone tends to "poop out" over time the way other dopaminergics do? (I'm assuming here that you would take enough to compensate for any downregulation of your own production.)
