I've been on 150 for about a year. the shrink never suggested any other mechanism to explain the anxiety, lack of energy, loss of interest in everything-"your brain isn't processing serotonins efficiently- here, take these". A month ago, this 49 yr old patient's blood tests showed major decreased testosterone levels- one fourth of the low-end-of-normal. after about a week of andro-gel, i proposed to Dr. that i wean off the psych med, to see if the T-therapy was the real answer to the 'depression'. Took a lot of 'selling' on my part, but he relented. cut it down to 75, then 37.5 after another week. I got impatient and went cold-turkey. Five days later, my girlfriend asked for a little space and time to take care of some family matters. Very reasonably put, via email. Here's the nightmare: Something within me just snapped, but I was so f-ed up in the head, i was unaware until the next day. I got another email from her, breaking up totally, on account of nasty things i'd said in three replies to her request. I checked my 'sent' mesages. I found pages and pages of mean-spirited, untrue allegations and accusations. I don't remember typing those foul words. That's scary. Anyone else ever hear of or experience this?
