Absolutely, Phil:
Please be careful about such advice you receive here or elsewhere.I was born with an endocrine disorder and need to take Testosterone because I essentially produce none on my own. The dosage I take is 200 mg twice a month by injection. So the dose that Pharmrep recommended is a *full replacement* dose and likely way too high for someone without T deficiency.
Furthermore, testosterone injections can definitely cause mood swings and depression (just as lack of T can as well). Not to mention the risk of numerous other problems, large and small, from acne to liver failure (rare).
However, that being said, careful exploration of hormonal augmentation *in collaboration with an experienced doctor* (I can't stress that enough) might be a useful addition to standard AD treatment.
> I don't think it's real smart to get on testosterone injections without your doc doing a blood workup and seeing what your level is.
> If you have a normal level of testosterone and want injections, you may be making a mistake. Talk to your doctor.
