How much did your mental health improve on TRT and how long did it take? 2. My libido is non-existent, and has been for years. I am on EOD Sub Q injections. Any idea why I have no libido? 3. When it comes to TRT, when is the point of no return, approximately speaking? I understand every human is different but I’d like to gather a consensus. 4.
