22yr old trying to get on TRT , advice plz?

ad

Hey guys my status are , im 22 yrs old .. i ran one cycle at the age of 19. pretty much someone gave me needles and two 20ml bottles , one was test and the other was deca. i did little research so i accept and i know that i deserve what ever is happening to me right now.

I ran test @ 750mg and deca @ 250mg for 12 weeks.. i didnt not run caber or Anti estro.. after my cycle i did pct of clomid & nolva for a month
it was clomid for 50mg for 30 days and nlova @ 20mg.

after my cycle, i fell into a major depression w/ limp dick. so i went to the doctor 3 month after and got some bloods.
my test was at 850 ng/dl
estrogen was 30ng/dl
prolactin was 13ng/dl
fsh @ .9
lh @ 4

the endo told me that there was nothing wrong w/ me and i should just go home lol.. he said that its probably a depression so he gave me some wellbutrien @ 300mg daily(anti depressant) and send me on my way...he also prescribed me cialis

2 years later, i still have limp dick and zero sex drive. the anti-depressants are losing there effects infact i feel more depressed to this day then i ever was before

it gets hard to even get out of bed , let along go to the gym or my job.

today i went and i got a female hormone panel , and i ll see what the results are in 3-5 days..

I was led here by a former young member here , one who was very active here but is on trt as well right now, he works out at my gym and he told me that there are good ppl here who might be able to help
he recommended trt but he is just a kid (21yrs old) just like me, and he said he never has any depression/libido issues anymore. so i just wanted opinions guys

my question is : how do i get on trt w/ out insurance conflict? keep in mind my doctor know that i took roids

I have heard that TRT can help w/ this sort of thing that im experiencing... the doctors told me that everything is in "normal range" and im normal , yet i feel like shit, im depressed and i got libido issues.and they said "we cant help you".. basically i dont know whats wrong w/ me, thats why im hoping this blood test that i just did can clarify

at this moment im on my own. so Im thinking of running a cycle of testostrone to see if it will help with my symptoms. then going back to the doctor after the cycle to do blood work so he can see my low test, then i can get trt. would that work or will the doctor know something is up/

thank u for hearing me out

holy Prolactin batman!

get some pramipexole and run it at 0.25mg per day (dosed at night) for a few months and see if that helps.

Prami is a dopamine agonist, so it can lower prolactin and it also has antidepressant properties. Sexual side effects as well which include increased libido, more powerful erections, and decreased refractory period.

The real question (assuming this guy's post is real) is why would his prolactin level be elevated over 2 years after stopping deca? Although the prolactin level is still within the high end range.

Mental depression can result in decreased libido. Did the cycle mess something up and cause depression or was the depression already present or due to an unrelated cause?

j223's picture

He could have naturally high prolactin.

Prolactin suppresses testosterone production at the pituitary.and deca lingers around for 18 months so it's possible the whole 18 months he was shut down simply because he was too ignorant to take prami or caber.

Anyways yes it's a shot in the dark but judging his symptoms leads me to think prolactin is causing issues here. Prami is cheap why not give it a shot and see if it help?

Cuz it's a creepy parkinson's drug that an otherwise healthy 22 year old should not be messing with? And what if it does help? It is not sustainable. Should he just keep taking the stuff for the rest of his life?

Once his prolactin levels drop his pituitary will start releasing fsh and his natural test levels will come back and his endocrine system may be in a better balance, even after discontinuation of caber.
I know taking a dopamine agonist temporarily is not ideal, but it sure as hell is better than TRT at 22.

Oh I forgot to mention bud.. Wellburtin can give you limp dick plus you already have prolactin elevated to top it off.. It's not that uncommon.. I've had life long depression and eventually I dropped the anti depressants and started working on other ways to cope with depression.. just my 2 cents

Fo real?? I always heard Wellbutrin increased sex drive in most cases and I've even heard that it lowered prolactin levels. Shit... Now I'm confused. I gotta look into it

OmNom's picture

Yeah I've heard that too.. On the internet.. More than one real life person has told me it lowered quality of erections for them... For me it made me completely uninterested in getting laid LOL

j223's picture

wellbutrin always made me have insane high libido and rock hard erections. wayyy before I ever touched steroids

J.Mc.'s picture

It raised my libido but I wouldn't say it raised it insanely high. It did help tho.

OmNom's picture

It'll effect people differently for sure.. but it's not working for this guy.. and I don't think trt will either

J.Mc.'s picture

No doubt, but for most people it improves sexual function unlike the SSRI's like Prozac, etc. Having said that, I'm not sure what the hell is gonna help this guy.

OmNom's picture

If it's not working then I wouldn't take it.. He's still depressed and he's got limp dick plus no sex drive.. I'd lean more towards what J2 was saying and get some prami.. prolactin can put you in a real funk

J.Mc.'s picture

I agree

No TRT whatsoever. If I'm your age and have boners at the 400 test range, then you don't need TRT. Like the others state, you got other shit going on and post the recent blood work done to see wtf is up. I wish I could be in that 800 range :l

Elevated prolactin can make you feel loopy and unhappy.. Kills the sex drive too.. Lets say you went on test (Does not look like you need to) if prolactin is still elevated you will still have a lower libido than normal

With those numbers TRT will do nothing for you. Go see a shrink.
