I would have done it differently than you did, I would have first gone to an MD and had my T levels formally tested. I would have done it on the up and up. However I dont really blame you for taking anabolic steroids for purposes of mood elevation. I think for any man with severe refractory depression who is 30 and over (especially 35 and over) and nothing else has worked and they have tested positive for low testosterone...testosterone can be a viable route out of severe depression.In addition to mood elevation and overall feelings of well being, testosterone supplementation can dramatically improve male sexuality. After a guy has been severely depressed for umpteen many years with no real sex drive, the sudden ability to get a massive erection like in my youth and engage in vigorous sex...is a welcome relief and is the "frosting on the cake" as far as depression relief goes.
I just would go about it differently than this guy did it. Id do it all legal, on the up and up working with Medical Doctors. Either endocrinologists or that rare breed known as a neuroendocrinologist (hard to find).
The side effects of testosterone supplementation for a man over 30 who has low to low normal T levels is negligible. The cancer thing is hysteria.
Before depression my erections were a good solid eight inches. After severe depression my ability to get and maintain a solid erection deteriorated. And with that my ability to maintain intimate relations with the opposite sex deteriorated. I bet with T supplementation, things would return to normal and Id have those big eight inchers again. <evil grin> hehehehe
