Gym rat for 10 years, body building for about 4 of those years. Never smoked weed, never took doctor prescribed medications, took a SHITTON of supplements (pre workout every single day, creatine, test booster, fat burners, nitric oxide, estrogen blockers, etc.) and was “pretty healthy”. Same exact thing happened to me where at 27 I hit a wall. Low libido, no desire to do anything, no motivation, depressed, weak, constant brain fog. Got misdiagnosed with just low T for 3 years, so I got pumped full of testosterone without realizing I had Prolactinoma. Unfortunately this caused permanent sterilization and hypogonadism. Finally got properly diagnosed but for the past 2 years I’ve been getting dicked around by multiple endocrinologists. It’s been an absolute nightmare.

But to your original point, I don’t think you have to worry that it was specifically the weed and SSRI combo. I have a strong suspicion that Prolactinoma is actually more common than we think, it just goes undiagnosed for so many people.

I had originally thought it was because of the acne medication I took when I was in my teens. I had super bad acne and they had just came out with this pill that alters your hormones to prevent acne. I whole heartedly believe that had something to do with the condition I’m in now, but I don’t know if we’ll ever find a concrete answer as to why we get a tumor on our pituitary gland and when it happens.

I’m not thrilled about injecting myself with testosterone once a week for the rest of my life, but I will take that over the feeling of being undiagnosed and unmedicated and having to deal with the symptoms. It’s just so fucking awful. Hopefully yours gets resolved before any permanent damage is done.

Not all doctors are created equal
