Low Testosterone anxiety

[Kenn042]

About two years ago I was diagnosed with andropause.The uroligist gave me androgel 5mg.He said it might help with the anxiety/Depression I have had for most of my life.

The first dose made me feel incredible for most of the day,but days after that panned out.Long story short.Now,any time I take any form of testosterone it makes my anxiety/depression worse.Even at 1.25mg of androgel.

My endocrinologist said that she has found that people with anxiety/depression often have low T levels and their mood problems get worse when given Testosterone.I have a lot of the symtoms of low T levels and I have had them for years.She also tells me my spine is getting close to ostoperosis,which can be caused by low T levels.I am only 42 and take very good care of myself.My sex drive was always high,even with anxiety/depression,but now it is very low and I have very weak erections.My body aches and I never feel rested.

I have 3 other doctors (specialists) who have never heard of anxiety/depression lowering testosterone and the patient feeling worse when getting T replacement.I had the worse reation to andriol.The patch was not good.

I believe my low T level is a big part of my problem,what should I do?I tried androgel 1.25mg and only lasted one day,because it increased my anxiety/depression.Has anyone heard of anxiety/depression lowering T levels?The endocrinologist said she dose not know what comes first in men, low testosterone or anxiety/depression.

Would like help with this matter..

Thanks...

Well, I think your low testosterone should come first after all that might be why you are depressed. Testosterone will make you more out going willing to do more things also. Its like the best shot of energy you can get. Did you get your count for your levels? I'm 26 and I'm only at 430 and should be around 800 or so. I am waiting to drop alittle weight before I start on the treatment. I also have depression and anxiety been taking xanax for 10 years and just took myself off it so I can get ready for testosterone. most people are gave like 100 a week well I will be on 500 a week due to the fact I will also use it to gain muscle mass because after 10 years of xanax i never really wanted to do anything but sleep and chill. Got to the point where I am taking 15 2mg xanax bars at a time just to stop an anxiety attack.
