Did anyone here go on TRT largely for reasons of the effects of low T on mood and anxiety levels? These days I care much less about my physique than I do about my psychological well being and job performance (which has been down lately due to depression and anxiety), so it's really that area that I am very focused on.
The reason I ask is that I would be interested in hearing some peoples' experiences with TRT addressing depression and anxiety, and also what people thought about how to come off of TRT in order to have children without suffering big setbacks in these areas.
A doctor has suggested I consider TRT for mood symptoms and particularly sexual issues I am having (quite severe). However, I am having a tough time deciding whether or not to go with it because my T really isn't that terribly low (415) and my Free T, though significantly worse -- exactly the bottom number of the range for "normal"), isn't completely disastrous either. I would hate to need to come off of it later (for children) only to discover vastly greater depression, anxiety, and sexual performance problems than I already have due to suppression. I'm basically worried that during the period of being off to have children, my T would be so suppressed that I would become ineffectual at great cost to my career.
Anyone been through these kinds of issues?
