Ok, so here is the short and skinny of it.

I am 25, I started using AAS like a freaking dumbass at 16. I do not use them anymore but have suffered the consequences of using them before turning 21. I learned the hard way what happens when you add exogenous hormones into a developing body, such as joint pain, reduced height, low T low sex drive....you get the point.

So anywho, I have low T.

I got tested at 22 and I was at the rock bottom range of normal for free test and bio available test. The endocrinologist agreed that I had the levels of a 70 year old, however since I was still within the range of "normal" there was nothing he could do for me.

Fast forward to now. I was tested again and my tests showed the following.
Test 13.8 on a range of 8.4-28.7, low but not too bad
Free test, 31.9 in a range for 31 to 94.

I am literally at rock bottom for free test, and it is driving me nuts, I have zero sex drive, am tired etc...

These tests were done at a Private men's health clinic in Toronto that I actually paid for. The short and skinny of it is the doc said pretty much the same thing, he said I am normal and there is not much he can do, he then sent me off with a test for bio available testosterone. This clinic pretty much seems to be all about ED and keeps trying to stuff ED meds down my throat, however I don't need meds for ED if I don't want to have sex. Before I went in there, they assured me that they could help.

Does anyone know of a doctor in the Toronto area that can actually help me?

I went to an endo a few weeks ago and he has sent me for blood tests. I asked him about getting my estrogen levels checked out and he said it wasn't necessary. I'm thinking this endo will be a waste of time. I go back to see him in a few weeks, I'm at the lower range of test when my family doc checked me out so I'm thinking I'm wasting my time with this endo. What clinic did you go to as I don't want to waste my time going there.

I was at the Canadian Mens Clinic. Some endos seem to be a waste of time as well.

As far at the Masters Mens Clinic goes, they told me there is a 9 month wait.

Any other symptoms than libido and ED? Hows the mental health? Check my thread about getting on TRT and mental health.

Symptoms are low libido, minor ed, lack of energy and lack of drive in the gym.

Mental health is similar to your story, was diagnosed with PTSD and OCD and was on the same meds you mentioned excluding the Lorazapem, however, this was 9 years ago. I am totally off the meds and I attribute the rest to teen angst lol. If you don't mind PMing me the name of the doc you went to if you are in Ontario or Quebec it would be appreciated.

The folks here have been pretty helpful with doctor recommendations.

Tell him you get rashes from creams / gels and are looking to avoid creams / gels because of possible contact with your female counterpart. Androgel is basically useless for anyone who sweats alot (athletes).
