Question Title: Testosterone Treatment of Intermittent Explosive Disorder

I have been treated in about every way imaginable for intermitent explosive disorder, bi-polar, depression, and anger. Neurontin seem to work the best after everything from Lithium to Zoloft seemed to build tolerance or resistence. I have been trying to follow the use of testoterone therapy out of some clinical trials at UCLA, and would be very interested in participating in one of these. Trying to find someone in Omaha, NE is proving to be very difficult. Is there such a thing as long distance trials? I am a male 43yo and have been living with this illness since puberty. Anything to help point me in a right direction would be appreciated.

Douglas,
Intermittent Explosive Disorder and Bipolar Disorder are difficult illnesses to control at times. They also affect your quality of life. I am not aware of the research study you mentioned. Research subjects must be fuly examined and followed up using specific criteria. I am unaware of "long distance trials". I suggest you contact UCLA to inquire directly, they may know of other available study sites.
