------------------------------------------My Story-----------------------------------------------------------------
My name is Noah, and on May 18, 2011, I had a rare reaction to the medication VIVITROL, which led to severe suicidal depression, depersonalization, and anxiety. Within just four weeks, I lost 25 pounds and spent the next eight weeks in a constant state of panic, mixed with unbearable depression. I could no longer work and had to move in with my parents for 24/7 care due to being a danger to myself. After being hospitalized in a psychiatric ward, I underwent numerous treatments-SSRIs, SNRIs, mood stabilizers, anti-psychotics, holistic therapies, and even RTMS (shock therapy)-but experienced minimal improvement for over a year.
Eventually, blood tests revealed extremely low testosterone levels (200 ng/Dl and 150 ng/Dl), compared to the average of 750 ng/Dl for a 25-year-old male. This discovery explained why my symptoms persisted and resembled major depression. After starting testosterone replacement therapy, I slowly began to improve. Over the past six years, I’ve worked hard to regain mental stability, though the journey has included setbacks.
Today, I continue to document my experiences and insights on mental health, while focusing on physical fitness as a key part of my recovery. Weight training and cardio play a significant role in maintaining my mental well-being, which I also share on my channel.

I Noah Thomas, the creator of this channel, have been diagnosed hypogonadism by a medical doctor and legally prescribed the medically indicated treatment of Testosterone Replacement Therapy.

The reason these videos are so important is that your story and journey on trt is in many way arche-typical. It means that a lot of people will relate and get help from them.
Yes the changes are VERY slow and subtle. It took be about 6 wks until I noticed a change. Better quality sleep came first for me. Next was worry and anxiety slowly changed for the better too. That came about at week six too. About a month into I lost patience but stuck with it and now I'm at month two and my energy levels are insane. TRT was the best decision I ever made. I'm 62 yrs old and wish I would have done this 20 yrs ago but I never knew.
Thanks for sharing, i'm 49 just started my injections. Depression mild but anxiety etc high, almost zero drive.
Awesome dude, I started TRT last year in Jan, I was 33 yo and 284 ng/dcl. It has changed my life. I have also considered starting a channel on my experiences. Mad respect to u bro
Thanks man im 29 12 year alcoholic in recovery started trt today after finding out I have low levels really appreciate your content.
After much deliberation and amazing feedback from many of you, I have decided to re-upload all my TRT content that I had to delete out of fear of having my channel shut down. For those who don't know, I got 2 channel strikes in 3 weeks after never having received 1 in channel history. I sent in an appeal but to play it safe I made a copy and then deleted all my trt content. It could have taken weeks in which time I might have received my 3rd strike. It was sad AF for me as it's such a huge part of my story. Thankfully, UA-cam accepted my appeal giving me the confidence to put all the content back with updated disclaimers. Treating my Hypogonadism (low testosterone) was a major reason I made it out of clinical depression. I want to help as many people as I can with my story.
Something strange is going on., Re: with vloggers like yourself on UA-cam. Ive been spending more time than usual binging my fav UA-camrs vlogs, due to being immobilized with herniated disks again, and anxiety keeps me inside my apt these days as well. So I binge on here. Anyway, one thing Ive noticed is that every single vlogger that I follow are all putting out these videos like yours. In regards to UA-cam putting unexplained strikes against them, blocking them from uploading, and even their viewership counts are extremely low all of a sudden. Most vlogs have been demonetized, deleted, smh...something has / is going very screwy up there in that office. They never should have implemented bots ...so many vloggers are having serious stress over all of this.
Excellent choice!!
bignoknow can you post other TRT videos please? I watched the first and tho I'm not near that low in your range I'm close. It's only been 2 days since getting my 1st shot. I'm not sure how to feel just yet ad I want to be "fair " about it. Seems yesterday my energy level went up as I worked out for almost a hour and a half. No significant change in the "lower portion" of my body yet. Maybe it takes a bit of time for that to occur? Thanks for your humble video.
I’m interested in more info and experiences. I’m hopefully starting trt herein the next month. Any feedback would be helpful. I’m suffering from many symptoms of low t. Agoraphobia being the worst
robert mcdaniel hi there . I cant speak of length of time . But I just had my 7th shot. It started at 200mg and it went 140mg for 5 weeks after on week 6 he gave me a blood test. My original numbers were 191. 164 and my free T was 9 . All very low. When I had the next test ( week6) it was 790 and he said because the machine can be off by 100 it could have been 690. That to me sounded more real.
However my nipples seem to be erect a lot. and not sure if that is high E2. My over all "health" did go up. More muscle mass stronger erections and just this past week , and not bragging here masturbated 4 times. Which before I was doing it maybe 2 times a week but with weaker erections. So as far as I can see it seems to really work. Attitude is good, over all thinking is good concentration the same, good.
I missed this weeks shot so I go back next week for shot 8 and he said since missing this one he would add a little more to my shot. The last if memory serves me right was 160. I hope this helps in your decision. I'm no pro at this but you asked about it.
I am on my first week and the thing I’ve noticed most is my increased appetite! Thanks for the video.
Noah, so relieved your channel didn't get shut down! I saw your video explaining how that almost happened. Your story and journey is so important. It's a treasure to you put yourself outself here so the wanting and needing of people can grab some hope. I sure hope your feeling encouraged.
I’m going to be starting this journey in a couple weeks. The way you explain how you felt is so much better than I could explain it. I’m so looking forward to this new start!
Starting my first trt treatment this week, dealing with all of the same struggles you are calling out in this video and have been for a very long time. After watching this and looking at your current videos I have even more hope for my future and the changes this path is going to take me on. Thanks for this.
I watched this video the day you actually dropped it yearss ago. I too am on trt from a pituitary tumor. Glad your feeling better man
I'm 50 years old. My blood test came back at 174. I did my first injection today. I am looking forward to feeling all around better and having the energy to get back in the gym.
Really glad your carried on with this...thank you
Kudos for your kind heart to share with people. I suffer from depression and in order to move forward, when we get stuck, it was suggested to me to reach out. Those two words are important. Reach out.
There is stigma that still exists. It's getting better & positive change is happening.
From my point of view, as a female, you deserve so much credit for speaking out. Some who need info on that particular subject you present in this video, may find you & realize they aren't alone.
Hang in there and wishing you the best at this new venture.
It's all about self-care.
I'm a big fan of your channel. While the TRT side of things does not relate to me so much, I'm quite happy to watch and like to help your awesometastic channel, bruh!
I am going through the same feelings you are but I'm 50 and about to start my trt so you are not alone I hope you have had some good changes by now
Hey man, I hope you are feeling excellent dude, and we all here to support you all the way!! ;)
Thanks boss. Right back at you.
I'm glad that you were able to figure it out, I didn't find you're channel from TRT videos but I still watch every upload. Hope you're doing well
Me to and thanks! I appreciate you being around and participating. I am on the right path and feeling very good about that. Still much work to do but that's the journey. I hope you are well too.
My first dose is tomorrow. I’m so glad to have run across this video.
I am 35, my T level was measured at 140, I am so nervous.
How'd it go brother
@@braden9195 It’s going great. Most notably for me has been the improvement in my sleep quality. That’s been a lovely surprise!
Hi mate i have just had my first shot of testosterone 0.4ml i've been feeling a lot like you have been feeling, so i'm hopeing i might start having some better quality of life some time soon. I liked your post it helped me.
I am 29 and am sub 200. I tried to get tested when I was 23 and the Dr I was seeing at the time refused and instead referred me to a psychologist (which I denied). After a test and an MRI, come to find out I have a brain tumor. Had the same depressive and bipolar episodes, extreme brain fog and lethargy, bone density issues and ZERO libido (even with a wife). Starting TRT tomorrow. 10 years of my life just "wasted". I've been on an extreme gym and diet regiment and have had very limited results and now I know why. Hope after a few months testosterone turns things around. Only thing I have concerns about it fertility, but I think I am going to be taking Chlomid or HCG a few times a month.
People, only you can decide what is best for you. Your Dr can only guide you and inform you. Everything has side effects and it’s up to you to decide if taking a drug is worth feeling better compared to the side effects. I am currently 40 and my level is 346. My endo prescribed me trt. I’m still back and forth with it. I’m leaning towards doing it.
Thank you, Sir for taking time to share
Even years later, you inspired me to get checked out and got my first injection today.
How donyou feel? I just started cream today..
How is it working for you? I got my blood results this morning and I'm super low! I get my first injection next Monday morning. I have been suffering badly for years and never understood why until now.
@@Jeckyll8593 weeks in, just took my 4 shot. Actually splitting my 4th shot into 2. 100mg/week. I feel better for sure. Libido is good too
Hello this video been few years back are you still taking trt and if so how has things been I just started
Just got on TRT! Love all your videos 💪
I want to say thank you im 26 and about to start trt soon and im nervous about starting it. I was shocked when my Dr. told me how low my numbers were and theres not to much information out there that i could find so thank you for sharing
Stay strong buddy. Join cycling club and get some rhthym in your life. Exercise is the no 1 counter to anxiety and depression
Hi so 5 years on how did it go? Would love to know your journey more
If you’re not super up to date, he’s posted a “what I wish I knew” type video recently
Any reason why your testosterone level was so low? I face depression problem and I thought it was mental issue, later I have found out my testosterone level is at the low side and think bout that this may be the cause of my depression..
My doctor will start prescribe me testosterone gel and really unsure what to expect.. doctor can’t tell why I’m having low testosterone and I wonder is there a reason behind..
I’m active in workout (5 weightlifting days) and my trainer is also surprised why my progress seems slower..
I've had a week on it as well. Already feeling different. Thanks for the videos
Hey! Were you feeling better within that first week? Thanks so much!
I am 50 and I went to check my testosterone levels and the first count was 39 and the second count was 21 and I just received my first treatment of trt.
@@matthewschwer1152 my ability to sleep very thoroughly was one of the first changes I noticed and then also not getting the occasional intense fatigue spells that I would get that often where I was literally hard to stay away that reduced rather quickly. Last time I went to the gym was after one month on and it seemed like the waste I would normally push all the weights felt like they were 10 or 15 lb lighter than they were.
I’m happy for you that you have gotten better. I hope some day I get better
You’ve come along way
Fight as hard as you can each and every day. We never know what will come and future you depends on current you staying brave. Thats what I tell myself every day.
Thank you man. It’s so hard to find people who actually get it. I been told by everyone that there’s no excuse for you to be depressed or there’s no reason for you to not concentrate in class it’s just so nice to here someone else knows what it’s like
Innocent Atom hang in there , brighter days are ahead , stay positive, prayers going up for ya 😉
Marc Cooper thanks man I really appreciate it
How long did it take to feel the full effect of it?
Using testosterone for for learning Focus and concentration is a great investment but you seem like you say all over the place so more focused concentration at the test task at hand will probably better your situation severely good luck for you
Have you tried working out or changing your diet before trt ? Would be interesting if yes how the results were .
The description made me sad dude. So a medication completely threw you off? You were healthy before and then out of no where lost your grip? That's brutal man. I truly understand how horrible a sudden "loss" of control is. I used to have PTSD (completely doesn't affect me anymore, used to keep me up all night) and the sudden mental shift I'd experience from time to time was terrifying.
Thank you very much! If it wasn't for you I would have never known that my T levels were extremely low. I watch all your videos and they gave me hope that things would get better and they sure have!
How long did it take to notice the difference?
Prolargentsize product is exactly as advertised. This product showed up on time and as advertised. I would recommend this product
Are you still on TRT
I sure am. Saved my life.
@@bignoknow man I start today
@@bignoknow man I’m just discovering your channel… I like it. What is your dosage now? I’m doing to be doing 50mg 2x per week for 100mg per week starting off
Thanks so much for sharing these.
What have you taken trt dose wise and what has it done in terms of mood, energy, and sleep? Thank you for sharing this.
I have very low t but in the same time I am very sceptic bout TRT coz of it side effects
Please help me out
What to do
faiz iqbal start off by running at a decent speed until you break a sweat.. Then immediately go hit heavy squats... Gym membership required...try it bro
I've started and I'm very happy. I'm full of energy and very motivated. It's worth it
lucian kristov same here. Going on week 2. Feel so much better.
I really dont think your going to feel anything in the first week. Hell I've been on trt for 6 weeks an I'm just now starting to notice anything. I'm on 150mg weekly btw...
NoobON TwoWheelz it’s been 3 months since you posted this comment. How has the trt treated you?
I was 167 ng/dL
200mg shot of dr per-scribed test cyp and was feeling it within a day
@@RealMattKiefer I’m 199 ng/dL with almost no estradiol and almost 0 progesterone. I just took my first TRT shot 2 hours ago and I already feel it. For those who are truly hypogonadal it definitely helps quickly. I’m actually quite overwhelmed with anxiety and a “rush” type feeling.
Hey Noah, glad you're better,!
Hey, your buddy Douglas B. was not on at noon Wednesday for q and a... I have been praying for his leg, please pass it on to him for me ?
I hope you don't lose your channel.
Daily prayers
I got all y’all beat 30 yr old with 41 ng/dcl this will be a huge help having my levels in check
Hey. Did T make you more anxious?
Starting trt tomorrow after levels came back at 340. Test cyp at 200mg a week with ai + hcg 1000iu split 2x a week. Do you think it’s possible for libido to come back a bit during the 1st week?
I hope a disclaimer is enough Noah I'd hate to see your channel go
I hope so too boss. My TRT journey was just such a huge part of my life and story. Gotta try and keep it accessible to as many as possible. UA-cam accepted my appeal for the TRT video that earned me the 2nd strike and with that I have to move forward. I'll keep a copy of all my videos just in case.
This may be the competitor in me but I think I got everyone beat 30 yr old with 41 ng/dcl this will be a huge help having my levels in check
Hot the reason I started taking trt. I’m 2 weeks In and can’t wait to have my life back . Energy is horrible. Moody . Emotion depressed. I’m on my 12th day of trt. If anyone has any recommendations for new users or any tips about diet or what not to eat or what.
Can you tell me what you may have felt the first week when you had your first shot please ? I've had my first shot and no real different feeling and its been 5 days. I had a bit more energy but no libido change. The first was 200 mg o believe but I said I'll be doing them weekly. When should I expect some "change" ?
Marc Cooper it’s been about a month since you gave your comment. how do you feel now?
pracata732 hi ... I have seen some "good" changes. It is taking its sweet time. But libido is good erections better, nothing yo brag about tho. I remained on the TRT and my 1st shot was 200 mg. The following 5 were 140 mg. I had my blood work drawn and seems my testosterone level went from 161,190, up to 760. Now the dr. Did say that it could be off by a 100. So that said, it could be around 660. My FREE T was at 9 when I started, it now has gone to 14. That is not where he would like it tho. He like to see it between 15 and 25. So I have a ways to go. He raised my weekly shot to 160 mg. And I have a E2 test in August. If you want I can keep ya updated. My emotions seem to have gotten a bit more "sensitive" meaning a little more crying over silly things. But not all the time. He said it could be the estrogen level. We will see in August.
Marc Cooper nice to know you feel better.i have an appointment Monday with a trt clinic.yes keep us updated 👍
@@marccooper4318 its unlikely to have estrogenic build up activity at dosages -250 weekly
Check your nutrition instead.
Also dont forget the test's ups and downs in mood. My humble opinion anything less than 175- 200 weekly is capable to bring some psychological emotions sooner especially during the drop period 1-2 days before the next inj.
Fucking crazy how far you've come brotha. Anything is possible.
hey noah i spoke to my DR. today and she said if I do testosterone my self out of pocket and it truley does help my anxiety and depression she is willing to put me on. do you think this is a good idea? im getting it from my friend who works at a anti aging clinic im 22 and been super anxious since i was 17 random panic attacks always think my throats closing from globus sensation just scares me. I am hoping TRT helps me. I hope i can hear from you to see your thoughts on this also i will be taking .5mg of arimidex weekly with the 200mg of tesosterone E
to add on my test lvls were 390! but i strongly believe it could be from lower T or atleast worth trying.
You dont need ai and especially .5 instead of .25 at such a low dosage. 200 is the average high of trt for life
You will need an ai if u decide to go 3ml weekly though:p
twice weekly .3ml 300mg Testosterone Cypionate SQ injection.
Is this a good dose that will work for me u think? That’s what the drs prescribed or me.
That’s a high dose for trt. More like a steroid cycle.
Just inj 250mg in my glutes and man the night I did it I started getting anxious for no reason and heart pounding and now today I just feel off and fatigued is this normal ?
I had my testosterone checked and it was 53. I will start TRT next week. Any Hints, suggestions?
How's it going? I just started trt...
Sergeant Extreme my levels got tested and were 85. did it take a while to start trt after finding out that you had low levels? i’m wondering how much longer i’m going to have to deal with this
I have been tested twice and my level is 262 both times. I am 41 yrs old but i have very low energy, libido, emotional, hairloss, brain fog, I really want to know if this will help. Drs gave me prozac and i started it because i have anxiety but i still want trt. I think it will help. I really dont want the prozac but i couldnt wait for my visit to the endo. Also was your vision affected by the test? Could u see better? My eyes have been blurry for years and heard test can clear them up in certain cases idk
77ponch77 why just prozac? Did you go to a urologist? I tested at 277 and have a drs appointment Tuesday. Hopefully I get trt prescibed
Im on my first week, my testosterone was 70ng/dl with no change for over a year.
I’m having serious problems.. and I’m going to get my levels tested tomorrow, have the test injections worked. I’m 19
+bignoknow Hey, I am glad you are putting these back up! Look, we have chatted before via youtube but I never asked you a question that MDs have asked me a few times (We have the SAME problemS). I have had two ask me if I ever was exposed to any kind of poison when I was younger. I grew up on a farm so I had, in fact, had an incident when I was a small child, come to find out when I was asking my Father. Have you entertained that line of thinking? Have you ever been exposed to any kind of toxin when you where younger? Any MDs ever ask you that?? Good luck my man!
I just objected my first shot in my glute . By myself at home. Usually there is a coup drops of blood or none. But this time there was a significant amount. Of blood then it stopped . I didn’t get the cough so I don’t think Injected into the vein. BUT I’m very curious to what exactly happened and if it’s ok. I’m all nervous here thinking I’m not gonna get my dose . Please if anybody has any info. I injected close to the right spot I know that. But I’ve never had this much blood when the nurses do it. So any info would be great . And if I can do anything to help or any tips!
Damn you shouldn’t get any blood. Did you pull back on the plunger slightly once needle was in muscle to make sure no blood came into barrel?
Yes! My man put it back up!
Feels right. I don't want to hide this important part of my journey out of fear. UA-cam accepted my appeal on the TRT video that got my my 2nd strike and I need to run with that. Obviously I am going to use discretion with some of my less tasteful trt vids from the past but in genera it's all coming back. Only other thing I need to decide is do I mass upload or drop maybe 2 a week to make it less intense. What's your call boss?
bignoknow - personally, I'd do the 2 a week thing, just little bit less intensity. So glad you're doing this brother!
At the beginning what was your total testosterone thanks
Are you still on the TRT?
I am. I’ve been on the same regiment for a great many years. It helped save my life.
This was real...thank you.
Am on my second day ...omg such feel really frustrated.
So I eat exactly the same thing at the same time of the day over the last month . I lost 19 pounds .. 1722 calories 228 protein 124 carbs 31 g fat
I continue to eat the exact same thing at same time but I started trt 200 cc test cyp. 5 days ago and I gained 3 pounds? I wonder if this is normal ? .
Mike S yeah it’s water weight.
great job
Hey man: Thanks for posting this!! I have Major Depressive Disorder and low testosterone. I just started TRT about 2 weeks ago I'm hopeful about it. Again, thank-you for sharing your experience!
Hi ! How do feel on TRT now ?
My first wk too I’m 39 ... I wish you well
What's the difference between bhrt and trt?
i just got tested and mine was 389ng/dL and dotor said im fine. But i dont feel it at all.. what should I do?
Try a different doc 2nd opinion. Go to Nu male or place like it. Good luck stay strong
@@paulielacqua8834 You may have found your answer by now however I am 61 and just starting treatment today with gel testosterone 1.62% Have a endocrinologist to check your free T that is different than serum test which mine cam in at 354 however my free T was 3.8 and norm is 6.9 and up to maybe 8.9. Lots of people don't realize for insurance to cover I had to give 2 blood samples on 2 different days before 9 am. My insurance denied my medication but my doctor had a Peer to Peer conversation with the insurance company and talking about my free T they reversed their decision.
Imo. Most doctors do not understand testosterone therapy. if you're not seeing a endocrinologist you are basically wasting your money.
First injected today
How are you doing?
My doctor fixing put me on 320mg a week is this more of a cycle or trt.
anthony roberts that’s a mild cycle. is it Cypionate?
I've never heard such a high dose, thought the max was 200 mgs?
Cycle
NocturnalOwl now on 400, 200 every 3 days, have any idea best way take arimidex was told .5 24 hours after each injection.
How could you simultaneously have androgenic alopecia AND low T?
That's because male hairloss is largely genetic and has very little to do with DHT, even though it is a factor. In this case, however, hairloss can be caused by low T.
Low estrogen can cause hair loss too. Along with many many other factors. DHT is just 1, although normally the main culprit. Estrogen is extremely protective of hair
Big daws TV on trt!
Actually now in 2024 many twenty somethings are experiencing LOW T, it has become an epidemic for men, young and old.
No video is posted here... What's up?
Please watch your estrodial. It is key. They say below 40 but you want to be around 15-25. We are all different but that range is pretty on point. Go to a specialist because md's don't specialize in TRT. Estrodial very important. Watch Rand McLain videos on UA-cam. Hang in there bud.
Black Maca powder. Try it dude.
I bought some a while ago, but I never took it consistently, how did it work out for ya?
mike lee it's definitely an antidepressant, mood booster and keeps me from bungy jumping into depression.
I started mine today. I am at 95ng and I'm 31. Been feeling like total shit for 2 years, depressed bad anxiety and always feeling tired and weak. I cant wait to see how it works for me. I'm also using HCG and blockers all doctor prescribed
I’m sure you won’t see this but how did all this work out for you? 95 ng free is scary low. Did they stay you on HCG immediately with TRT?
Are u balding from use
chris chapoteau no this was his first week
You are a cool guy bud...
Go out. Meet friends. Dont take some chemicals.
Go talk to friends
