I would recommend having your testosterone level checked. After age 50 it can start to drop pretty rapidly. It has a wide normal range (75-600 pg/ml) so it can still be within a normal range but have dropped from where it used to be. This makes the value sort of relative but if you're around 300 pg/ml, it shows you can use a little extra. Go to an older doc. It's been my experience that younger ones and specialists don't like to write a script for testosterone as the injection is not a guarantee that it will fix the problem. You need to also find someone that can give you a shot (a nurse friend or relative). The doc will send you to a pharmacy that will give you a 50cc bottle for shots of about 2cc's every so often. He may also prescribe a testosterone cream that you rub on every morning. A speciality pharmacy will have to compound the cream. If it works like it should you'll feel the effect within a day or so. There may also be some side benefits as there'll be more bounce in your step and some of the bluesy feelings will abate somewhat. This is the VOE (voice of experience). I have a friend who's done the same thing with the same benefits (our wives are both nurses). We've joked that we feel like experimental lab rats but somehow we don't mind too very much. My friend and I are both on blood pressure medicine as well.
As a side note--you don't see many ads for testosterone by drug companies (like Viagra) because there's no patent on common, everyday testosterone. Good luck.
