My endo-Doc prescribed me "Clomid", which is a fertility drug for women, that helps your body increase its testosterone output. My levels were brought up, but unfortunately I didn't experience the outcome I was hoping for, ie. return of sex drive/libido, increased energy, etc.

> > Anthony, Thanks for the the name of the book. I tried Clomid but it made the depression even worse. I'm wondering if I can get my doc to prescribe HCG it's supposed to be even better at stimulating test production but doesn't affect estrogen levels as much. I think that's what worsens mood. I don't really want to try testosterone replacement unless I have to since that can curtail natural production.
