Testosterone and Mood

[jimbosmith316]

So what are your opinions on test and mood? Do you get angry easier or do you kinda mellow out, especially if test is already low before a cycle.

I can take anything and my mood never changes. Lots of tren, test, whatever... I'm always the same. Thats not good, lol. I have severe rage issues.

I truly don't believe in roid rage.

As far as test and depression. Makes sense but again I don't feel any different low test or high test.

Good question, though.

Last time I had test tested it was in the low 400's. I can have some pretty bad mood changes and anger, but never to the point I hurt people but I can break some shit! lol I have heard of people feeling better when their test levels are elevated to a higher level.

I had my truck inspected and they left the lights on so when I woke up my truck was dead and I needed to get to work, I HATE BEING LATE, after punching the steering wheel a few times it is now not so round. lol

Hormones can for sure screw with you emotionally. Thats all a proven fact. I was just thinking about "roid rage" IMO thats BS. Test in the low 400s and being symptomatic (mood issues) for low t. IMO a good Dr. would look into HRT. I say a good Dr. but thats not always the case, many are scared of the stigma that hormones bring.

Around here the cost for trt is way out of my reach and in my opinion not as good as what can be had other ways.

Yeah, I had a script for test c. After all the nasty looks & what's this at the RX. They were going to order it. They said okay it will be, I think like $175 for 5cc's. I still keep the script with my gear, in a van down by the water, lol.

Truth if I could afford the drug seeking judgement of the rx, a good Dr. and the script. I would....

It makes me feel better, more energy, more drive, want to bang more, when I'm off I just feel like something is missing lol.

I am impatient most if the time anyways now! Lol might be I am getting older and I am more open to giving my honest opinion versus the "save me the words hurt" sugar coating.

i think it causes some type of dht imbalance... which makes me just a tad short tempered..

nothing too noticable

If you think about it test is what makes us men so if you have low T then your manly traits are suffering.

That in itself is terrible for your health! My doctor told be 400 something was in range and not a problem regardless of symptoms.

Ask around and find a doctor with a more open mind because it sounds like yours just doesn't want to sign off on trt. I would want to at least be between 700-800 so almost double what you have.

Who knows how the "RANGE" was calculated. He wrote me a script instead for Cialis. lol

Dr.s like treating symptoms. More money than the cause.

The "normal range" is the problem. It's 300-1200 at LabCorp, one of the other places it's 250 - 1100, or something like that. That's a huge range. And how can "normal" differ from one lab to another?? It's pretty random, if you ask me. If I know then what I know now, I would have had a full hormone panel done when I was 22 or 23, That way, I'd know what "optimum" is FOR ME.

When I was a teen and going through puberty, i had gyno for a couple of years. I had no idea what was going on. My parents took me to the doc, who said it was normal and that was that. But I'd sure like to know what my test and estradiol levels were at the time!! ANd no one ever explained back then what was going on, that test was super high and some was converting to estro...

TRT should really be more of a symptom driven thing. And SO many docs are either totally misinformed about hormones, have their heads up their asses, or both. It's pretty scary, really.

Sorry for the rant, this obviously struck a nerve! LOL!

As for mood, I wouldn't have said I had become grumpy in general prior to TRT. But my wife remarked, "He's back!" after I'd been on it for a while in response to me grabbing her and dancing for a minute or two in the kitchen. So yeah, it affects my mood, for sure. Too low and I'm a grump. Just right, I'm my usual self.

Couldn't agree more about being symptomatic & needing to be treated.
