Hi,
I have posted here in the past as I've been struggling with low T for the last year or so.
I went off Zoloft 6 months ago and 3 months after I did a full panel test. My testosterone had gone up from 0.4 to 0.5 (ref range 0.3-1.1),
so that should mean getting off the Zoloft probably worked a little bit.
However, it has now gone another 3 months and did another test...here is what worries me:
Testosterone: 0.514 (same as 3 months ago) - I know this could be a lot worse...but still it isn't optimal
Free Testosterone: 8.34 (reference range: 9-30)
Prolactin: 19.42 (reference range: 4-15) - 3 months ago it was 19.14...and now I have eaten 500mg's of Vitamin B6 every day for the last 3 months, this was supposed to lower Prolactin
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH): 4.25 (reference: 0.55 - 4.00...although I hear it should be between 1-2?) - this was 3.25 three months ago!
Follicle Stimulating Hormone: 2.19 (reference: 1.5 - 12.4)
T3, T4 and LH all within range.
My questions:
1. I am worried about the Prolactin and the TSH. Why are they so high?
2. What kind of examination should I do next? MRI?
Thanks
