question from a user
How do you treat someone who’s on trt and an ssri like Lexapro experiencing genital numbness? Does a high dose testosterone mitigate those side effects? I suffer from GAD and panic attacks. I’d love to drop the ssri but was hoping trt would ”cure” it, wich didn’t help me in that regard. Thanks in advance.

TRT will not override the numbness and delayed orgasm that can be associated with SSRIs. I would certainly prioritize my mental health especially with anxiety and panic. Once that is under control you can have a discussion about changing SSRIs to something differenNot, or even decreasing your current dose, to help improve this side effect.
