New to TRT, Unique Case to Say the Least

Truth is I’ve been suicidal over dealing with this again
And I’ve felt Embarrassed Saying That on here I don’t know why we’re anonymous but still

Relax is the key word I guess trust the process

Man just breathe and relax. Life is much better than the alternative. It will pass and improve. Trust me I have had really really bad function. I have hard times getting a manual erection even. No desire or lust. Very low sensation. If the pills help just allow those to work until you improve. It may take time but things will improve and trt can help with libido BUT it takes time I promise. Your body has to adjust. I am in your same boat. I have windows of improvement but have not stabilized. All from an antidepressant. I’m 37 and never had problems, have a gorgeous wife and trying to have a baby. It’s been really hard for me too, but life is always worth living because things can improve.

How do you deal w the depression and the thought “what if”
What if this doesn’t get better

And how do you have sex w your wife and initiate if your not really actually in the mood

yeah, pretty common. I went back to almost normal though after a few more months. Not sure why or how but I’ve seen others report the same.

I would have this very same thought, and still do sometimes. What if i never get back to normal.

However, what if i do? what if it does?

When people say its mental, i believe its do in part to your brain wanting to draw the conclusion and create the outcome you already believe it to be.

When we believe it can’t happen, we do and act in ways that produce that outcome. Also vice versa.

You’re going to have to believe, hope, pray and trust that this will all workout. Thats the only power i know i have.

Like i said, i still think about this for time to time too.

I just need to make the correct choices and that’ll be followed up with the correct outcome. Fingers crossed.

However there’s a quote that i’ll paraphrase from tony robbins that’s always stuck with me:

“People always say they’ve tried everything. If you’ve tried everything, you’d have what you’ve always wanted.”

Ofcourse I think about what if, but I also think about how far technology and meds have come. I also think about how I’ve had some improvement with time . With my wife yeah I have to force myself to initiate sometimes but Viagra and cialis help with that. I just make the best of it for time being

You will get the dick hard again and fuck like a bunny. This takes time…
And finding the right doctor takes time too.

I think I’m going to try some Wellbutrin for now

I can’t stop thinking about fucking ending myself it’s horrible
Like a Mack truck this just came on

Hoping Wellbutrin can maybe increase dopamine libido and mood a bit?
Anyone take that while on TRT

I’m on week five so far

Wellebutrin has helped some of my sexual dysfunction some when taking it. Never taken it with trt. How are you feeling today?

Honestly
I woke up and went into the garage and looked at the ropes and thought wtf am I doing
I wonder if the garage will support my weight

Then I called the doctor and asked to start some Wellbutrin

I’m
Glad it helped you

Maybe w TRT it will be good alsp

@lbc2020 Dude. Chill. Let the doctor know you are thinking about suicide.
Can’t fix anything after suicide.

Put all your worries in a box and pick a day every week or maybe start with 2 days a week to think about your worries.
So if you worry about something now, tell yourself it will have to wait until Sunday. Maybe write them down.

We’re all strangers but I feel like I can be more honest here than with anyone else

I’ve been this way in 2011 but got a lot
Better…maybe I can beat this w a
Combination of TRT and Wellbutrin for now
And cialis

Yes you can beat it. And if what your doing doesn’t work there are many other options.

Such as what

Different medications that we may not even know about. You need to find a great Dr or two.

Trt - you need to find the right dosage this takes trial and error.

Another option: You may need to go back to natural levels of testosterone (whatever they may be) and take meds to keep you stable.

Idk everything. Tells us where you live and maybe some guys can make Dr recommendations.

Possibly a urologist. Endocrinologist.
Psychiatrist.

Maybe @chris_colucci @highpull can read this thread and give some advice.

Wellebutrin or buspirone are the mildest I know of. I’ve had success with both. This can improve.

You can be totally honest here, no doubt. But you also need to be honest about your thoughts and emotions with anyone giving you medical treatment because things in the body and mind are inter-related.

Also, and much more importantly, you owe it to your kids to fight these feelings with everything you’ve got. Reach out now (not tomorrow afternoon, not later tonight, now), use one the resources here and talk to someone:

Don’t wait for the Wellbutrin. You can take steps to start getting healthy now.

Do
You still take Wellbutrin w the TRT
If not why did you stop?

Take what you need to take.
Exercise does help in the immediate term. It doesn’t cure everything, but it does help. For me, a VERY heavy lifting session resets my brain chemistry. Others do better with cardio. You hurt right now, you have that available right now, and I know you don’t feel like doing it right now.

I don’t want to die at all. I want to feel happy and alive. Every time I read the word finasteride it makes me feel sick to my stomach like “what did you do you idiot”

Fuck. Keep praying and exercising

Up until a few months ago I worked out 6 days a week it kept me going and hid the fact I haven’t felt well for years
