TRT Confession... (I wish I'd known this before starting Testosterone)

[muscleman-2017]

My name is Noah and on May 18 2011, I had a rare reaction to a medication called VIVITROL and consequently, spiraled into a suicidal depression with depersonalization. I lost 25 lbs in 4 weeks and was in full panic or near panic for 8 weeks straight mixed with the darkest most painful depression I cold have ever imagined. I immediately could not work and had to move in with my parents who, along with many siblings and friends, had to watch me 24/7 as I was a danger to myself

[Joe Valentino]

I wish I could get some TRT . Being 39 im in need.

[BBSSchlemiel]

This guy's annoying. He started an entire You Tube channel regarding taking a fucking medication!

[Obvious Gimmick]

Wah!!!! My elbows hurt. Big baby!

[Mr Anabolic]

You also will have to keep taking it till you die.

[Dave D]

You also will have to keep taking it till you die.

Why?

You also have to do this with food and water.

[Mad-scientist]

Think about his target audience... lol its obviously not us.

[BBSSchlemiel]

You also will have to keep taking it till you die.

Same goes for thyroid and insulin for other endocrine disorders.

[judochoke]

who the fook is this pussy? TRT is the best thing to happen to me. fooking pussy

[Griffith]

At a relatively low dose of only testosterone is it possible to avoid negative side effects?

[Notomorrow]

Another fitness channel

Now that EVERY fucking idea in bodybuilding has been thoroughly exhausted...we all collectively repeat ourselves over and over and over...day after day

Just switch topics back and forth...

Synthol, gear, sick dying bodybuilders and ridiculous old man comebacks that never go anywhere.

Oh and shitty workout vids with pretty boys that can't train heavy right now to avoid injury but rather just "get blood in the muscle".

Miss anything?

[Rusty Trombone]

That is a load of crap.

Upon stopping,you will get back the same levels you had before TRT.

It just takes some time.

Best case scenario 3 months.

Worst case 12 months.


There have been studies done also,with precise measurements and timespan.

1000s of subjects were monitored.

[rangerwil]

WTF???

He's acting like this from just Test?

[falco]

[oldgolds]

Well, if he has a heart attack or stroke maybe he can make some money.

Balls shut down.  The older you are, the longer it would take for them to come back... in fact, they may never come back.

You'll lose everything you gained during the recovery time.  You'll be a meek little, depressed lamb for quite some time.  Once you go on TRT, you're not going to want to come off.  This is why I am putting off taking TRT until I'm at least in my mid-60's or even 70.

When you 'need' TRT/HRT before the age of 40 then you prob eat, sleep & train like shit. Fix those things before before you consider yourself a TRT/HRT candidate.

Boom.

I think this is true post 40 as well.

[Dave D]

Boom.

I think this is true post 40 as well.

Wait are you guys saying trt is bad?

Testosterone drops in men, can it improve production after 40?

Why would you be opposed to it?  It doesn't improve quality of life?

Women have been prescribed hormones for decades.

Did I said that 'TRT is bad'? Most women take hormones for a different reason, so that argument makes no sense.

So that's why Ryan Russillo ended up in a strangers condo naked.

Well the question was addressed to the after 40 comment so if the thought is trt isn't needed if you have a good diet, sleep cycle and train hard I'd like to known the reason behind that. But if you're going to answer like a clown I will too and suggest you improve your comprehension skills.

Women are prescribed hormones for a variety of reason Doctor.

Men are prescribed test because their body shuts down or produces significantly less of this hormone with age, unless I have incorrect information. When I said women are prescribed  hormones I meant it in context of improving quality of life with age (say a woman has a  hysterectomy and no longer produces hormones needed) the arguement does make sense.

I wasnt trolling I'm asking a legit question if the thought is that HRT isn't beneficial after 40.

You decided to make a snarky comment but then refused to provide an answer to the question.

Cool brah.

I answer like a clown? Well, I just confront you with your poor reading & reasoning skills, but maybe that's hurting your ego?

Regarding your last post, I also wasn't saying that TRT isn't needed when on a good diet. I'm just saying that those with low test levels FIRST need to adjust their lifestyle when needed, before consulting a doctor for TRT.  

Anyway, you're correct that women get hormones for various reasons, but #1 is because they don't want to become pregnant.

Lol fine you win.

I understand what you're saying. Grape Ape said this is also true after 40.

I agree with you that trt isn't needed in younger men, unless in its extreme cases.

No doubt lifestyle is important, it should be common knowledge without needing to say it, but you can say you need all of the 3 you mentioned to be in alignment your whole life.

Assuming your "healthy" at what point would trt be recommended age wise?

The video is about trt "ruining" his life (these are my words), so is being prescribed testosterone a bad idea?
