why are you having testosterone treatment? i would be very careful of any hormone treatment. i believe that my first dp/dr episode (which lasted for a year) was brought on by birth control pills. now, even though i'm not taking any hormones, i still feel dp/dr for about 2 weeks out of the month.

Thats it, had my injection.

Sustanon 100 Testosterone.

Let the fear of DP/DR become even more worse than it is commence.

DP/DR started when i was 12, now 17...imagine this got rid of my DP/DR.

I would dance the streets naked in happiness.
you know, it really could get rid of your dp/dr if it is caused by a hormone imbalance like mine. i'm currently trying to figure out (with my doctor) what hormones i need to balance (i believe my estrogen is extremely low) and correct the imbalances.

i really hope this works for you!

Any adverse reaction to the testosterone therapy? Had I seen your post sooner I'd have warned you that my DP/DR, which I had been able to control fairly well with Parnate and Xanax for the last 10 years, made an amazing comeback after I took testosterone. That was a couple weeks ago. By upping my Parnate and Xanax, I think I may have started getting it under control again, but for a while there I really thought I had made a HUGE mistake. I hope you didn't have the same experience.

I'm not sure why this happened. I'd have thought that testosterone would have sent DP/DR running, but let's face it, my understanding of DP/DR's causes is almost as bad as that of most psychiatrists. I just read something about how testosterone lowers the temporal lobe epilepsy threshold, and that people with TLE have lower testosterone levels; maybe there's a connection there.

It just occurred to me that my last post was a bit insensitive. Here you were worried about the testosterone making you worse, and I come along relating my gloomy experience. You're taking it for a legitimate condition, though; I wasn't. My hormone levels are normal, but I decided to self-medicate in an effort to fix my dead libido caused by Parnate. Since your doctor should be giving you just enough to put you in the normal level range, you'll be fine. I'm really sorry if I caused you any anxiety. I think I'm still a bit horrified at my own stupid mistake, and the subject in this thread sort of hit a nerve.

I don't feel nothing yet, hasn't even been a week since my first dose.
Then my guess is you won't feel anything ever (referring to your DP/DR changing)

The injection raises your testosterone pretty quickly. If you are still fine (or the same now) then I doubt it will change with more time.
