A member asked:

Have any doctors heard of using clomiphene citrate or anastrozole to boost a mans natural production of testosterone ? if so is it safe and effective?

Let's back up: These are sometimes used to scam bodybuilders but i'm going to assume that your concern is rather with diminished libido despite your young age. If you have had a few serum testosterone levels actually low, this may be the problem; otherwise these won't help you. More important is that some smart physician screen you for prolactinoma, hemochromatosis & other important causes of lost libido.

Not wise: Clomid (clomiphene) causes estrogen and non-estrogen effects. Anastrozole decreases androgen to estrogen. Age 22? Why would you even consider this. Surely it is not ed. Lift some weights, workout. Taking opioids? Taking anabolics?
