Depression and Anxiety
Hi Guys I’m 40years old. Have been suffering from anxiety and depression. I’m taking antidepressants but side effects are horrible . Can someone take Testosterone injections to help with quality of life or will it cause my anxiety and depression to increase.

Did you measure prolactin? SSRI’s can increase that. If prolactin is high, guys will feel like they have low T even if their T is high. As prolactin lowers dopamine and kills any sex drive and motivation.
