hey!
i have done 3 tests on global and bioavailable testosterone and at least the global testosterone was each time too low (although the test was conducted in the early morning).
it was each time around 2.8 ng/ml of global testosterone (the bioavailable was okay)..
at that time i was on 10mg lexapro and 5mg selegiline - maybe testosterone was suppressed a little by these meds, but in my opinion testosterone would be a starting-point for treatment of my depression (i am not treatment refractory, ssris always helped me very well, but motivation was always a problem).
i have got no real libido problems, but i suffer from endogenous depression when i am not on ADs..
beard growth isn't very dense.
as i am only 24 years old, I wonder if the low testosterone could contribute to my depression or if the testo level is a result of 5 years of SSRI use...?any help would be appreciated..
yours, dep82
