as for me, I don't mind masculination either.. but in fact, in austria it's nearly impossible to convince a normal doc to prescribe testosterone.. I already tried, but all i got were remarks about my incredible high cortisol and an assignment to the urology to get my pituitary gland checked (dexamethasone-suppression-test). today I did the test, let's see what it will bring up...
in my opinion, I don't have cushings syndrome or a pituitary adenoma.. if the dexamethasone test is positive, then maybe because of light depression which i've got at the moment...
anyway, it's all relatively complex..
as far as I know, high cortisol and low testosterone (including low thyroid hormones) is also caused by the SSRI and I'm taking 10mg lexapro at the moment..dep82
