I have started the conversation with my GP about being on t-blockers. I had been on finesteride for BPH and spiro for blood pressure for over 10 yrs. Both meds were low dosage. However, two years ago I was found to have prostate cancer and went through radiation, t-blocker to the max with casodex then lip Ron for over a year. I was taken off the finesteride and spiro during this time. It has now been 8 months since all the cancer t-blockers have expired in my body and I find myself depressed, irritable, crazy libido thoughts and generally dis organized thoughts. I told him I want to go back on t-blockers to recapture the feeling of calmness and peaceful thought without the overboard libido crazies. Am I barking up the right tree? In the alternative, I have read recent studies showing very low dose estrogen with progesterone will give the calming effect I want without the t-blockers. What is the suggested path to follow?
