question from a user
I felt great on aas. Physically and mentally. I never felt bad or lacked ambition anyway, but it made me more confident. Broke plateaus in the gym. Made my wife super happy. Still have had 2 healthy children during use. I’ve been off for 2 years. I did pct . First labs 10 months after quitting showed total test at 340. Dr wasn’t interested in my explanation for symptoms and refused to test anything further. Dr physically and mentally evaluated me. Decided mild depression anxiety.Tried a few different ssri that made me sick . Tried to Put me on Xanax. (I didn’t take them after speaking to pharmacist)I decided to try a different dr. She has been much more open minded and willing to help .(Leading to previous post.) not really turned on when I drink. Im a happy social drinker on occasion butI’m not a big drinker. Tried cialis 5mg daily it led to lower back pain after a few days. I could get there after a lot of stimulation but the “want to isn’t there.”Not in bad shape, exercise 3x a week, fast pace physical job. Wife cooks good meals every day. Sleeping good at night now but non stop tired. 100% not depressed mentally at all. My mind is in a good place. Love my wife to death been with her me whole adult life. I definitely married up lol.

Great explanation. You felt better when your T was higher, it was good for your life, though the AAS were potentially illegal or bad for your organs. It was good that you swapped providers to someone less judgmental (which can be common in medicine). Sounds like you don't have a super negative view of yourself or performance anxiety, just the lack of desire.
For someone your age, with your symptoms, and at 340 Testosterone it's very likely a provider would see TRT as an option worth pursuing for you. The libido and energy are likely to be connected, especially the energy with all that working out & a physical job at those levels.
As an aside, Cialis lasts for 36 hours or about 2 days. Back pain can be a side effect. Opinion - It may be worth asking the provider overseeing your care about a 10mg as-needed dose for when you know you're going to have time with your wife, like a Friday night, rather than taking it every day.
