Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about this?
I just got my test levels tested for the first time ever, and I got:
Free Test: 1.5 pg / ml (normal = 8.5 - 25)
Test Serum: 45 ng / dl (normal = 350 - 1200)
Jesus!!! Now I know why even during my first cycle I had a very tough time making any significant gains (or basically I had to work an insane amount to even maintain my strength from natural bodybuilding for over a decade and a half...).
Anyway, I'll just say I'm a functioning addict and the culprit has to be chronic opiate use, and I'm going to try to switch to suboxone in the near future which supposedly has much less (or hopefully NO) effect on T levels.
Few questions about this:
1 - How can I or anybody even be relatively muscular with levels this low?
2 - What advice does anyone who has also used regularly have for getting T levels back up (or what was your experience?)
3 - Is this reversible? I think it is but I got scared sh*tless when I saw these results and started reading about opiate use and its effects on test levels.
4 - Do you know if this has effects on being able to have kids?
Also just fyi, I'm not trying to go back on cycle or go on TRT because I still want to have kids maybe in a few years.
Thanks for any help
