Testosterone Supplements and Medication

As I have said before on this site, I still take medication for depression. I am convinced that I do not need this medication any longer however I am completely dependent on it and have suffered from a profound withdrawal syndrome when I try to stop. I think that these antidepressants have also had a marked impact on my testosterone levels. In fact, it was a doctor of mine (not my shrink) who first pointed out the number that psych meds due to your T levels and why I started testosterone boosting supplements in the first place.

I have been on the natural testosterone boosting regimen for a while now, but I am always looking to juice my results a bit. When I ran out of one of the main supplements that I take, the DHEA, I went to the store to buy some more. When I got there I saw that in addition to the regular DHEA that I had been taking there was also a DHEA supplement for men. This one mixed DHEA with a unique blend of other herbs that are good for men’s reproductive health like Yohimbe and Horny Goat Weed. I decided to buy this DHEA For Men.

I love what I am taking right now, but I am also always looking to tweak and make things even better so that’s why I did it. Unfortunately, I did not talk to my doctor before I decided to try it. And I had a lousy interaction. I only managed to take the DHEA For Men a couple of times before I started to get a ringing in my ears. I looked up the supplements that were listed on the package and it said that Yohimbe should Never be taken by people who are on antidepressants as it has a powerful interaction. Whoops!

Just goes to show you what I have been saying all along. Supplements are very powerful and effecting. You need to talk to a doctor before you get on any testosterone boosting supplement regimen especially if you are taking any prescription medications because there can be interactions.
