mcchunter on hrt?

[mcchunter]

going to the doctor for blood work on tuesday

im currently on celexa and xanax for anxiety and depression. when i run a test cycle i feel great.

how do you guys feel about hrt?

[vassille]

How old r u?
It is also possible some of the medication you are taking may cover up low test levels!
Just post up how you got to take these meds if you don't mind......

[mcchunter]

im 35
went to doc for anxiety and depression he put me on celexa and xanax

how might the medication interfere with my test levels?

[vassille]

The medication may or may not directly interfere with your test levels but it like puting a band aid over a gashing wound!
Doctors treat symptoms not the real cause!
What im trying to say is that when I was depressed it was a directly caused by low test levels! Eversince I have a constant level of teststosterone in my body my depression has been gone and so was the anxiety.

And BTW, a lot of meds lowers your test levels...doen't listen to doctors. Everytime you introduce a medication such as mood alteration you breaking up a loop the hormones have and will affect you. At 35 I would say go for it, you will prob not need any meds for you moods

[mcchunter]

im thinking its my test levels that are causing the problem.
when i ran my cycles i felt great. when i stopped i went right back to feeling depressed and the anxiety.

thanks for the info vassille

[mcchunter]

went to the doctors today and asked him what he thought about me having low test levels. he said that that doesnt affect people to they are 65.

oh boy i thought. i came back with
: ive been doing some research and it says males in their 30s.

he said ok ill order a blood test for tomorrow.

i asked what he prescribes and he said androgel.

now im not going to do anything to try and lower my levels cause i really want to see what they are at.

ill keep you updated!

Hey MC,

The Xanax i have used myself for stress or anxiety in the past, the problem was it took my ability to gain high intensity lifts or i even just talked myself out of dropping my harder lifts for that day, have you noticed this problem?

Peace

I was taken 1, 2mg bar per day, anything lower did not even phase me.
I also think there had been many personal issues involved as well. I have been off all of that for some time now, feel high anxiety but the training will kill that most of the time, sometimes though i get into the gym and burn out in 15 minutes "like the motor has been arping to high for to long"

Also I am an insomniac as well, no matter how hard i train i am lucky to get 4 hours of sleep at night, Many times i get a chance to sleep for about 2 hours mid day, this helps out great. I have been catching my self from time to time grabbing some GHB for the sleep as it works wonders, the only problem is i can't keep my hands off when i have it, and it is very easy to get in my part of the world "big problem for me" I have been working to get all this in check for my up and coming training mission. But I'm sure the xanax really killed my intensity in the past.

Peace

I was taking 1-2mg at night to combat some insomnia i had last spring/summer and my lifts went down during that period. I never put 2 and 2 together. lol

[mcchunter]

i only take .5 mgs before bed say around 8 oclock

ive been on for about 1 1/2 years now. if i dont take it i get a buzzing feeling and my anxiety shoots through the roof. its always around the same time between 7-8 at night.

i dont notice it too much in the gym.

the celexa on the other hand has def. curved my intensity. i need this though. i have anger issues. lol since ive been on it i havent flipped out on anybody!

on a side note i gotta call the doc to get my results and ask him for some antibiotics. i got strep.

I started out taking .5mg but it stopped being effective after a week so had to keep upping the dose every few weeks.

Couldn't your anxiety partly be because you're expecting to take your medication? Mental addiction?

Not trying to be a dick, I understand that somethings need to be treated with meds but it does seem a hell of a lot of presciptions are masking the root problems

[mcchunter]

results from test show im good.

came bac k at 506

however my cholestrol came back at 216 and my ldl was 136
wtf? he wants to put me on meds for this now. iam tired of taking all these drugs!

[mitchcumstein]

For many people, xanax has been shown to form dependancy. When i take it i 'cycle' it just to be safe.

Hey MC,

First you are 100% correct on the Xanax dependency, when i went off i was unable to sleep for a week. I also have the same anger issues at times, i tend to flip on a dime, just a quick burst but can cause many problems for others around me LOL, the Xanax or GHB made me like a little pup! its the Alcohol that can make me flip hard "i have been good for the last several months"

Also you plan on using Antibiotics? I have not taken any for years as it makes me go catabolic real fast. are you going to use on a cycle?

Peace and thanks

I know when i start my cycle I will be amped up hard, I was thinking of using Ambien for my sleep.
