Testosterone. The Next Drug Epidemic

Testosterone Replacement Therapy Side Effects - Addiction - Death

De: Lisa Shaughnessy, Ann Shaughnessy

Narrado por: Lisa Marie Shaughnessy

Testosterone is a sex hormone. It makes a man a man and gives both men and women their sex drive. Over the past few years, however, the increased hype around testosterone and the treatment commonly known as “Low T” has wreaked havoc, with many patients who didn’t know what they were getting into.

More and more physicians are prescribing testosterone to their patients with the intention of giving them back their zest for life. As a result, a new addiction has emerged: addiction to testosterone. My book sheds light on this emerging epidemic. It comes from my personal experience with using testosterone, and also from people who have fallen prey to the pellet pushers and those who are selling testosterone.

Some have said that I am brave to share my story. Some are in awe of the time and money I have spent researching, creating websites and anonymous surveys, and the countless hours I have invested talking with families who have been destroyed by testosterone.

Yet there is hope for recovery, and I will show you how to do that through my own recovery journey, and those who have - or are - recovering. Their stories tell how testosterone replacement therapy hijacked their minds, bodies, and brains, and in some cases created a destructive path like mine, which, I admit, “had me at the brink of suicide”. Finally, I share how I pulled myself out of the darkest years of my life, reclaimed my sense of self, and became whole, by the grace of God. I had to free myself from testosterone addiction.

Most things just simply not true.

Or very negatively exaggerated. If you think that you need testosterone then please do more research than this book. This book can do you a terrible injustice. It’s obvious that this author for some reason is in a war with hormone therapy and is very biased. Yet she was able to do a triathlon on it lol.

Redundantly Painful

At the end I was screaming, how many doctors and workshops do you need to attend to figure things out.

Overdose Bias

I hated this book, only because as an RN it’s obvious from the beginning this woman was overdosed. It completely ignores the reality of proper dosing of testosterone to augment women’s hormone replacement therapy. The use of pellet therapy (the author’s route) is utterly discouraged today, since it leads to overdosing and horrendous side effects. Many women and men are reclaiming life in middle age with the help of testosterone therapy. Small doses are incredibly transformative, and not to be dismissed or ignored, as this book does. This author uses anecdotes of harmful pellet therapy with resultant overdosing to prove a point that lacks big-picture perspective. In the end, this book and her public appearances thereafter are negating something very important while giving her a megaphone she should not have. This is the story of why Testosterone needs FDA approval for women, so appropriate routes and dosing can be established and followed. This will change healthcare and life for middle age women, without a doubt. In the meanwhile, we are finding out for ourselves how truly game-changing LOW DOSE Testosterone therapy can be for women. This book ignores this truth, which so many women are discovering.

TRT Low-T scam

I love the fact that Big Pharma’s billion dollar Low-T scam is finally being exposed. All the TRT prescribers need to be held accountable and prosecuted as well as all the pharmaceutical companies involved

This read at times like a page out of my life.

I’m so thankful for this book. Finally I get the confirmation I’m not crazy and testosterone therapy CAN cause roid rage, suicidal tendencies, major personality changes and can take a husband who adored and protected you into arrogant, roving , verbally abusive stranger you think has possibly vbfd
