I just had an appointment with my endocrinologist, which went very differently to what I was expecting. In particular, she prescribed me testosterone. Now, I know cis women have it too, but the idea of deliberately giving myself my nemesis is quite squicky.

Do you think it might help with the mood levels?

@Eleanor LNR Blair I don’t know about that. The aim is to maybe boost my mostly zero libido and improve my sexual response. I will probably be more TMI when I have more time.

@Eleanor LNR Blair Broadly, unless I don’t take my antidepressants for a couple of days, I find I don’t get turned on very much or for very long, and sensations around my vagina, clit, and tits are very muted. Orgasm consists of little more than thigh cramps. This feels unsatisfactory

@lnr This is a pretty well known side effect of some SSRIs, though, isn't it? I realise that endo's might tend to prescribe from a limited pallette, but I do wonder if they prescribe T for cis women in your situation? Maybe they do. Either way, that might be an interesting data-point.

@chiffchaff that's exactly what I was going to say! (about it being a common side effect) I don't think I ever brought it up though, just kind of accepted it! So I don't know if they suggest T for it. I think T *does* get prescribed for cis women in some circumstances, occasionally as part of menopausal HRT even, but it's pretty unusual.

@Eleanor LNR Blair @kæt I do also have plans to change antidepressant so it’s not the only thing I’m looking at.

@chiffchaff I hope one or the other helps! As side effects go it's not exactly conducive to improving your depression.

@kæt @Eleanor LNR Blair Yes, it is, and the endo said she did prescribe it for cis women for the same reasons

@lnr To mention that also suggests she's kind of empathetic for a doctor (I have a very low bar). So that's a good sign!
