    I am assuming you are talking about testosterone replacement therapy? My husband is on T replacements and it helps a lot with his stamina, energy and increased libido.

    Some men convert excess testosterone to estrogen and lose the effectiveness of the T. This happened to my husband and they placed him on estrogen blockers which helped stabilize his T levels.

      I was hoping you would reply as I want my husband to ask about it when he sees his dr tomorrow. Is it DIM or something that requires a script?
