I feel extremly agitated and aggravted.I wake early in the morning with ruminating thoughts and anger.Will these feeling go away after a while? But, my body does feel stronger and less achy. I was hoping it would make my mental health a little better. The urologist said that better mental health usually happens when on T therapy.Does anyone have any experience with T therapy. I would appreciate any feed back.

>I had the Androgel 5g packets too. My Rx was one/day. I can't remember my exact levels - but the tests were done by a established endocrinologist here. I remember him saying that my levels were "on the low side" but how far on the low side I don't know? I was referred to this doc by my pdoc because my depression has been so treatment resistant they wanted to see if anything underlying could be causing it. When the doc found my levels were off, he said "Well, it won't hurt to try it and if it works - then great." My symptoms are depression - of course - fatigue, low sex drive/desire.
