Anyone ever hear of using testosterone injections for depression? Got a patient here today who recently moved into the area and was being prescribed this by a previous psychiatrist. I told him I wasn't comfortable continuing the Rx and offered him a referral to endocrinology to evaluate his need for the injections. He declined and wanted a second opinion from a psychiatrist to continue the shots. He was also on twice the max dosage I've ever prescribed of a stimulant. Had a good bit of benzos on board too. He was asking for more stimulant and I told him I'd actually want to taper it, and well, he scheduled with someone else for that too. I was just wondering if anyone'd ever heard of the testosterone thing before.
