Hi all! I been on Androgel for @7 months. About 1.5 months into It I started to feel great. Would awake in the morning and exclaim "Im Back!" Well that only lasted for a few days and I could feel myself going back down. Mild depression, joint pain, life sucks, etc.
I still have 5 weeks to wait for an endochronologist to see me.
I called my GP thinking I needed an estrogen blocker. He said no, my levels are fine.
He's had me on Effexor for a few years now. Recently raising from 75mg to 150mg. I know that stuff isnt working!
So, 2 days ago, after no improvement in 7 months, I have quit Andro and Effexor. When this all began my Free T was 227 and GP says its now over 800.
Im 47yrs old, over weight and know i dont eat right. Things i need to change.
But until then im hoping my Endo will be my savior. Gonna be a long 5 weeks!
Whew! Got that off my chest! Thanks!
