[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question: for the men who behave this way (grumpy, hostile, leaving, personality change,  etc) how many are moderate to heavy drinkers? Wondering if there is a correlation.[/quote]

Mine doesn’t drink at all. He does take adhd medication. It makes him more grumpy and hostile but more functional, so I don’t know how to decide between the tradeoffs. Not that I have a choice.

I do think there are a lot of varieties of self-medication or actual medication going on and a lot of [b]hormone imbalances, dopamine deficiencies, and depression[/b].[/quote]

I wonder about this and if DH has low testosterone. Starting HRT has been a game changer for me. I thought it would just be to address things like hot flashes, and was shocked at the difference it made in my overall mood. It makes me wonder if testosterone is the same for men. Men’s hormones don’t decline as precipitously as women’s, but there is still decline in the 50s. I wonder if this could be the root, or at least part of the problem. [/quote]

I've been on TRT.  There is a honeymoon period where your body adapts to the increase in T that affects mood, but over time you more or less regress to who you were before.  There is only so much chemicals can do unless you're addressing or taking care of the things that truly make you happy.[/quote]
