question from a user
32 year old male. I’ve tried every antidepressant there is to no avail. Energy and mood are always in the dumps. I’m 5’10” 250pounds(down from 267) 40 days ago. I’m currently intermittent fasting… anyway, should I be concerned of my heart health when starting trt or even palpitations? I don’t take adderall anymore because it gave me weird jitters and almost induced by anxiety even more even with the low dosage! I want to get out of this hump I’m in…. Please help!

We see a great many men respond to having low Testosterone return to appropriate levels with an marked increase to their mental health and mood.
You should keep in mind that while dieting like that, your Testosterone will also be a bit lower than normal, so it may make you feel a bit more "down" if it is tied to your hormone levels.
TRT for men's heart health is almost always heart protective. TRT itself almost never leads to any conditions like jitters or palpitations, though we have experienced some men thinking so because they have a lot of anxiety & experience some panic attacks then attribute that to the Testosterone use. Once they're aware that it's not the Testosterone and know it's anxiety, that tends to dissipate after their first few shots. I would advise to not hype yourself up too much about Testosterone use or stress about it prior to starting, as it is a incredibly safe treatment.
You would probably benefit from at least having your levels tested & talking about it, but it sounds like Testosterone would assist you.
