Re: Not taking testosterone...............

I'm not a doctor, but generally speaking if you are already past
puberty the biggest issues will be things like loss of libido/possible
erectile dysfunction and loss of muscle tone/mass...but it can also
affect people's moods and has been linked to osteoporosis.

If your only problem with taking it is the fact that you have to
inject it, you might want to ask your MD about going to a trans-dermal
delivery system like a patch.

Either way, just stopping cold turkey without medical oversight is a
very bad idea.
