Makes sense Serotonin in general downregulates the Androgen receptors; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29133842/
Meanwhile, Androgens decrease serotonin via upregulation of SERT: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4109686/
...And suppression of Serotonin at spinal synapses to stimulate sexual activity: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a ... 5780901215

Re: This might be the key! Androgen function in the spotlight.
I've been struggling for a while with my mental health (in addition to pssd..). I was considering possibly trying to re-instate an ssri, and do trt simultaneously. Then if there's improvement, taper off the ssri gradually while resuming the trt. Re-instating scares me, but its been 10 years without a recovery so i'm starting to think I don't have much to lose.
There's some reason a subset of people get pssd while most that take ssri's don't. It's pretty clear to me I have issues with testosterone/dopamine, as stims are the only things that give me libido and I cannot gain muscle that well at all. Maybe while ssri's open the door for massive changes in the body, having excess testosterone can give more favorable changes.

Take Trintellix (Vortioxetine) then, its an SSRI with less sexual side-effects. You can treat Depression by maximizing DHT levels though.Troskie wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 7:09 pm I've been struggling for a while with my mental health (in addition to pssd..).

Take Proviron[/b] or Masteron with your TRT. See if that works!!!
Re: This might be the key! Androgen function in the spotlight.
I was considering prozac actually (i heard the prozac / buspar success and was considering that too, if it didnt work then trt). I'll read up on Trintellix though, if it has less sexual side effects maybe that's best.
I actually would like to take primobolan / masteron based off what i've read. I don't have a reliable source for it though, and I don't think a doctor (in the US) can give it. I'm open to a DM of a source if you happen to have one.

Re: This might be the key! Androgen function in the spotlight.
I took very high doses of T during TRT because I had HCG to also take with it (prevents ball strinkage because of T and steriods, but I never did steriods). No increase in erections or libido at all, merely had stress relief. Sounds like a ok theory but I dont think you include allopregnanolone, the most important hormone for libido. And yes, doctors are clinically and criminally negligent regarding knowing anything about libido, or anything other than T. They push T and pde5 inhibitors and blaming your stress levels. O and one doctor assumed I just had harded arteries in my dick. I had an increase in libido from a healthy progesterone cream (which turns into allpregnanolone in the body).
Also, although I dont recemmend Ropinirole because of side effects, I took half a pill once and the next day 2x sensitivity in my penis and big increase in libido. Jerked off twice, no problem. Not much of benefits lasted tho. Had crazy blurry vision and heart pain as side effects. Never touching again.
