Re: New to this Group and New to AndroGel

It is a roller coaster ride trying to get your hormone levels back to

level. I was doing 7.5mg of Androgel daily, and 3x injections of HCG ,

250 iu, weekly, to week the testis working and from shrinking. I also

took .25 mg Armidex twice weekly to help control E2 level. I did great

for several months, feeling wise, and certainly libido was through the

roof. Erections were strong, and I had to have it about every day.

However, I did gain about 15 pounds on the HRT.

Unfortunately, the last month I've had a ton of anxiety, irratibility,

and some depression. My doctor started me on Zoloft 50 mg, and after a

couple of weeks, feel great again. But, the libido has suffered, and

is now about a 2 out of 10. It also, takes much, much longer to

orgasm, and really have to keep my mind focused to reach the finish

line. The doctor mentioned me might be able to take me off the Zoloft

when summer arrives. I have lost about 10 pounds on the Zoloft.

I'm not sure what caused the problems, too much testeterone, too much

E2, or something else.

Zoloft is a sex-killer in my opinion, as are many of these types of

drugs. It takes way longer to reach orgasm and sex definitely isn't

as satisfying. Get rid of it if it makes sense to do so. If you're

not doing so already, make certain you're doing regular cardio

exercise at least 3x a week for 30 mins or more. Throwing in weight

routine as well is even better. It's amazing what it can do for you

when you make it part of your life permanently. Good luck.
