Try to get a handle on that depression, see if the docs will put you on hrt at least.
I am on HRT. I take Testim Gel daily and 100mcg synthroid for about 14 months now since they diagnosed Pituitary Tumor back then. I was orginally getting 200mg inj EOW. My levels went up over 600 and the docs were saying those are to high. Average range on the last they use is about 240-860. Thye was you in the 400's. Im only probably getting a total of 75mg MAX of test a week from the GEL. My T levels are 150, while on the Gel. I need to find an Endo more into HRT. All thes docs now I feel are scared to prescribe higher dosages with everything going on in society with steroids and teh HRT clinics etc. I have conditions that require it though and blood work to show it some I m going to have to start shopping for a ne doc that understands my treatment requirements.
Im aware of the depression, its hormonal and situational so I don't feel a psychotropic would help at all. I have become real moody angry/tired the past several weeks with these low test levels. Thyroid was off also and glucose along with CK levels, but the CK have been gradually going down and are just under 400 now.
I might have to go to HRT clinic and send them my lab work if these Edno's don't want to prescribe more and see if can get at least 100mg EW IM with the GEL.
