What people say about Testosterone and mood
“Feel the best I've ever felt in my life. TRT and peptides have been game changers for me!”
“my proneness to rage and feelings of "righteous indignancy" (think *"how dare you!"* or anything pertaining to vengeful/personalizing thinking about social slights) have increased.”
“When on T, I noticed there's a time period when you start you may notice mood changes and acne... once leveled out... benefits of more energy, sex drive, and all around well being.”
“testosterone replacement therapy (~12 months)...it made such a difference in other factors in my life - weight loss, libido, etc.”
