Antidepressants and Testosterone
I'm under SSRI and SNRI medication from 3 years and I have very less facial hair. I'm having less sex drive too. So can I Take any natural testosterone boosters like Velvet Bean (aka cowhage). Is it safe? Does it affect my mental health because or the L-Dopa? I'm very confused
Thank you for asking. Firstly, why do you want to take testosterone supplements without knowing its levels? It can be harmful with serious side effects. Secondly, you must get investigated about your low sex levels from a psychiatrist or sexologist as it could be an important indication of underlying problem of anxiety and depression. A possible side effect SSRI is also one possibility.
Next Steps
Considering, a detailed evaluation of the complaint and knowledge of associated risk factors is required. I would suggest to ask a direct query here on Practo so that more information regarding this can be obtained and comprehensive management plan can be advised. you must also consider visiting a nearby sexologist if possible.
