Let's see, aside from aggression, violence, and acne, excessive testosterone can also cause atrophy of the genitals. So, you get -- you should pardon the expression -- raisons where you might like prunes...
My friend's SIL had to be put on testosterone patches after testicular cancer. They started out at too high a dose, which led to domestic violence -- he'd go into rages and beat the bejaybers out of his wife. That's not what anyone wants.
The whole idea with hormones isn't to have *more* of them, only to have the right amount FOR YOU. That's why there's a normal *range,* not a normal dose.
Matt, I hope you'll work this out, and I hope you'll consider getting into therapy. Even at school, Matt -- there are counselors at school you can go to.
