Do I Require A Replacement Therapy For Testosterone After Being Treated For Depression While Suffering From Headaches?
Thank you. I sought answers about my testosterone after being treated for depression for ten years. I had read an article that suggested the symptoms were similar. I saw a urologists who tested me at 128 and highly recommended the replacement therapy. I began only to realize without insurance or financial resources could not continue the treatment. I have found a program through Pfizer that offers the drug free but have not been able to find a lab that will help me. I am worse than before the treatment. During the onset of treatment I experienced horrible headaches and watery stool that lasted 24-36 hrs. It was like clock work for the first three shots and then subsided. The doctor's office assured me it was not the shot. I know it was. The closest I been able to get to the doctor is talking to the PA overseeing the treatment through a nurse. I live 60 miles North of Dallas in the Sherman/Denison area of Texas. Is there anyone that can help me. I am in a horrible state, broke, utilities being cut off and in danger of losing my home. Excuse my taking your time. I do not have a credit card or pay pal account. This could have been ask up front. Does everything cost money. I am at the point of giving up completely. Thanks for your consideration.
Testosterone replacement therapy has no role in treatment of depression. u have been on depression treatment for last 10 yrs, but still have depressive symptoms. That means u may have treatment resistant depression (TRD). in TRD u need combination of different antidepressants or ECT. Discuss this with ur psychiatrist.
thanks
