I don't know if you can read this without being a Trib subscriber but I hope so. While it may not be the panacea to my depression, it may be something worth investigating.

Well......I hate to bring bad news. I don't know what is wrong, and I actually am a bit scared. I've been on a fairly high dose of Androgel (topical testosterone) for a month, at the high dose of 7.5g packet a day. And............nothing. Just that...nil. No sex drive, no eager libido, nadda....zippo. I can't even have an orgasm. I am going back to the lab sometime this week to get my testosterone level and prolactin level remeasured. What I have a bit of a hunch about is this: testosterone can convert into estrogen even in men. There is a certain kind of drug you can take which will reverse that and prevent it (testo to estro conversion) from happening. I THINK it is called an 'aromatose inhibitor' or something like that. This is what I think has happened. Just a pre-caution. I will post when I get my lab results back.
