low test at young age?

[slair]

Hey, just got some blood work done and had test added to the panel. It came back at 350 ng/dl on a scale of 250-850. Now i know this is within "normal ranges", but what do you guys think? I'm 23, about 5"7 160 pounds, about 12% bf. I've never done aas. I've always had trouble putting on decent mass, but i still consider myself in decent shape. Lately though, i've been noticing trouble maintaining wood through sex, and sometimes takes long to climax. Anyways, just curious what some of you vets think!

Here's a pic of me

any thoughts?

Your symptoms could be caused by a number of things. Your T levels are on the low side but not alarming. You could do some more comprehensive bloodwork and see if you can track down the issue.

progesterone or maybe you have started some anxiety meds?

lol how did you know, i've been on effexor xr for like 5 years. Getting off that stuff feels like going through cocaine/heroine withdrawal x1000!!

SSRIs are known to destroy the dopaminergic system which excites the pituitary to produce LH to produce testosterone. Try HCG if your doc is willing to prescribe it, since you most likely have good nuts, just a bad dopamine system. If HCG fails to raise test get on testosterone and check SHBG provided your doc agrees.
