Hi Ed --You are right, it wouldn't be ethical. But I know it sometimes happens and maybe the PDoc is working with an endocrinologist in those cases (for initial examination, follow ups of side effects etc).
Having a low (borderline) testosterone level and huge/complete sexual side effects with AD/AP it think it could be worth trying to see the psychological effects. As a Social Phobic who has instinctual fear like I was inferior and so psychologically and physically very submissive, I think it could be interesting to see the effect of testoterone; Aside from being more agressive, would it give me more confidence? more drive? .. I dont think in any miracle. Clinical trial of testosterone on phobic social would have detect a miracle or just potential, which isn't the case. But even, I'm curious enough to try it. The less it could do is helping at the sexual level, which would be MUCH appreciated. Ms. Marty would be appreciative as well ;)
