Men, Testosterone, and Oxy..

by Ga Guy, Oct 22, 2007 07:56PM
My doc mentioned that many of my problems may be caused by low testosterone. He did a blood test, and I've been researching this afternoon. Seems that long term opiate use is notorious for reducing testosterone levels in men. The funny thing is that Oxy (my DOC) seems to do it at a much higher incidence than hydro or other opiates. I haven't found out WHY yet, just that it does. So guys, it may be worth a doctors visit to have a blood test. There's quizzes on androgel and androderm's websites that may help diagnose it.

yohimbee is a natural supp that can help...most testosterone by pill is not as effective as injections...be sure it is prescribed by your doctor...many men feel a loss of energy as they age and T levels decrease...some more than others...may have been a problem that caused u to use instead of vice versa...be safe but women supplement with estrogen etc...men often need to as well

injections would def be better!

i know of some powder mix supplements that have a full range of the branch amino acids and whatever it is to boost your test

as far as actual boost in test levels from anything in the supp stores, that i've seen people experience

animal stak workd the best, and was somewhere between 50 and 80 bucks depening on the sale prices going on
