Effexor


I think that’s actually considered to be one of the stronger ones. Were you on a small dose?

I took that same one for 2.5 years. It honestly worked extremely well for improving my mood and my motivation. It did the job.

However, it gave me some sexual side effects, weight gain, and impulsiveness, so I eventually had to get off of it.

I take a small dosage of Wellbutrin now which doesn’t work quite as well for mood and motivation improvement, but its side effect profile is better. I wish the Effexor wouldn’t have had all those side effects, because it was working well for me.

I was on 150mg/day. Felt no emotions, never laughed, never cried, never horny, never motivated, was kinda just existing.... crawling on my hands and knees through life day by day.

Sorry. I posted that and skipped out.

I don't remember the numbers, but I did put the results on the fridge like it was one of our kids' good test grades.

true hypogonadism is actually quite rare, affecting less than 1% of men.


That’s due in part to the definition of low being dropped very low. The normal range is very, very wide - like 300-900 a 300% range.


If a man in his prime was on the upper end and then hits low normal it still sucks for him.

yep the medical community considers a 25-30 year old having the same total test levels as an 75-80 year old as normal

instead of having age adjust ranges..they lump everyone together.

and guess what Eurocat...i dont give a frick what you say nor the NY Post says....and so long as your wife likes me on TRT....ill keep using....you should ask her about it.

TRT for aging males = bad. TRT for demented females wanting to cosplay as males = good.


This works two ways.

Big Pharma: Bad
Big Pharma with regard to cure-all TRT: Good.

It’s a huge moneymaker with many of the proposed benefits unproven.

Except it's not big pharma at all. Most TRT is coming from small compounding pharmacies.

If every male had T levels around 1000, their entire life, the world would be a better place. If you are not there, make it a goal to get there.

Same is true for women. If they all ran their T levels close to high end of 50-60, they would benefit from stronger bones and muscles. Men would also benefit from, well

TRT carries serious health risks ranging from thickened blood


Which can increase the odds of a stroke.


If you have a prostate cancer threat, TRT is throwing gasoline on a fire.

Lots of conflation between TRT and unsupervised steroid use in this thread

its not just that...they are balancing their hormones

but yes being horny is one of the good things for them with test. many in peri-menopause get to the point quickly where there test levels can be undetectable and when that happens.....look the frick out. they bitch about every fricking thing and never want sex

trust me....TRT for women will save more marriages than anything. I would estimate prolly 50% of divorces that are not from infidelity are from women in peri-menopause that have massive hormone issues

TRT gives them energy, sex drive, ability to gain muscle/lose fat, better mood stability, desire, overall drive etc

its a god send for them as much as it is for Us.
