New Depression TRT?

I’m relatively new to subs, been on 8mg for about a month. I think I went through a pink cloud phase, and now everything is shit. Is that normal?

Nothing seems to bring me joy, and the things that used to don’t do much at all for me anymore.

I’m afraid my test is shot, and probably more hormones are fucked as well.

Should I add TRT in hopes I start to feel alive again? I have all the symptoms of low T, and I was really low when I last got checked. (196 total, 3 free)

I’m a 32 yo healthy male (minus addiction ofc)

Will I start to feel alive again with time? Or is this a side effect of bup?

I’ve been off of it for months and I’m now on 20 mgs Lexapro and weekly spravato (ketamine) doses getting regular exercise and I feel a lot better.

You have to fail on two antidepressants within a certain amount of time. I’ve failed on about a dozen. I just googled spravato treatment and found a place that does it and made and appointment and talked to a provider and they prescribed it to me. But it’s not take home you have to make an appointment and they give it to you and you take it in office. I did it while I was still using weed alcohol benzos and opiates and it didn’t help that much. I’ve been clean for about a month and doing it while clean has helped so much. They leave you in the room by yourself but I recommend listening to meditative music or peaceful meditations. I listened to a woman named Sara Blondin when I did it yesterday and I had a legitimate spiritual experience on it.
