Testosterone and psychiatric medication interactions
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC will not start testosterone because a website said you have Low T. Morning labs, repeats, and a psychiatric exam come first.

Questions we hear about Men's Testosterone Therapy
Do you start TRT on visit one?
Almost never. We need history and confirmatory morning labs.
Opioids and T?
Opioids suppress T. Pain and psych plans must talk to each other.
Will TRT fix depression?
Only if hypogonadism is a real contributor. Many men need depression treatment with normal T.
Do I need to stop the gym?
No. We need you to stop unsupervised anabolics.
Heart risk?
We discuss it. We do not advertise TRT as cardio candy.
Can TRT hurt fertility?
Yes. Exogenous testosterone can suppress sperm production. Tell us if you want children.
