A little advice please :)

[Mr Anderson]

Need some advice for my wife. She suffers from depression, and has done for most of her life. We have tried medication, herbal, and seeing a shrink nothhing seems to be working. She just has no get up and go to do anything. I was thinking of trying maybe 1 iu of GH per day for the next few months she really enjoys the gym when she can be bothered to go. My wife is 39yrs old and seems to have lost her zest for life. Any suggestions welcome.

Your thoughts.

damn, it's so sad so many people suffer from this, myself included , for me though getting on some aas like test make me feel much better, so if you try the dark rout try the 2ius gh and maybe 50mgs of test e a week. i would only try this as a last alternative though. i truly wish you both the best of luck!

I never heard of test for females to fight depression, though I know a few women that got severely depressed after using it.

Before throwing your wife on gear, have you had bloodworkdone to see what her estrogen, progesterone, free test, Thyroid, and igf levels are? I would do this first. Low thyroid, unbalanced hormones and high cortisol cause many problems and are worth looking into this if you haven't already.

btw......an hrt level of test for women is about 10-12.5 mg per week to bring their levels up to the high side for females which is 70 ng/dl. 50mg a week would be way over this and cause androgenic effect.

DO this first to see what is going on. You do not want to compound a problem if there is one!

We have done blood work up and the doc said it all looks normal. We are also looking to have kids in the next 6 months. So will giving her a little GH effect this at all ?

I dont think i would give her test tbh. More thoughts are welcome

Actually i will get the blood test and let you guys know the levels because i dont think half the doctors know what there talking about.

i guess ill pretty much just say what im thinking.....why in the hell would you come on a bodybuilding forum and ask questions to a bunch of people you dont know about the health and safety of your wife.....if this was my wife i would send her to a professional(psychiatrist)to get the answers we need.....there are more than one type of medications.....sometimes it takes a combination of several.......depression can very serious.....self medicating is not the answer........i cannot believe you are even considering taking this matter into your own hands......it takes time for a doctor to your meds right.....i speak from experience.......dont make the mistake and think you know more than a doctor......anyway best wishes in whatever you choose to do......

Because we are both into fitness and bodybuilding ? We have tried what you have suggested I'm not stupid, and if you bothered to read the first post you would see that. We are at the end of the rope here. i just wanted some friendly advice. I thought the sense of well being that comes from GH would do more good then bad to be honest.

And if you think Doctors know it all then your a bit nieve.

GH is not going to help depression. Try a different doctor. Self medication never works out right.

Entertaining Thread

In my experience, although I am a guy, GH makes my mood worse.

Maybe I didn't read the thread as carefully as I should, but I'd be looking for a pyschiatrist who specializies in pharmacology for middle aged female depression or an endocrinologist who also specializies in this.

Get a referrral to a specialist at a medical school. It's time to move beyond the local physicians. Travel to a major city if necessary. Sounds like it would be worth it. I'm as guilty as anyone when it comes to self medication. You need to go see a specialist. IMHO. Good luck.

Have to agree with Amazing Doll on this one - Please try the female harmone route - estrogen can have a powerful effect on overall well being. As an older gal I can tell you that any drop in estrogen has an immediate impact. Try that route.
