Re: blood test results - advice needed

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Your prolactin seems to be ok, but your testosterone is low. If you

are a young man it's very low.

I'd advise you to see a doctor and start planning how to boost your

T-levels. T-gel or injections will definitely do that.

Hi Biker,

Thanks for your reply. I'm 39, which I guess is still fairly young.

I'm hoping this could be the reason for my missing libido, or at the

very least that I could be helped by supplementation.

I'm also coming off Effexor, which I've been trying for 6 weeks (it's

done nothing except make me feel like a eunuch) after years on

Prozac, and going on to moclobemide, so hopefully that will help sort

things out too.

cheers,
