I was put on probation about 9 months ago which made me quit drinking cold turkey if I wanted to stay out of jail. My test levels when I was a drinker from age 30-37 ranged anywhere from 220-400 mostly staying in the low 300's. Most recent as a drinker was 323.
I went to 4 doctors including an endo that said I don't need TRT even at these levels.
Now that I've quit, my levels have gone up to 525 with free at 115. Still on the low side but a huge improvement.
The only things I've done differently are consistent weight training, 10,000 IUs of vitamin D3 a day and absolutely zero alcohol.
However, I am making virtually zero progress in the gym if not actually regressing quite a bit. Zero morning wood ever. Zero life ambition. I have an almost non-existent sex drive with rare instances of it every few weeks. Pretty girls mine as well be a nice sunset or interesting painting to me and I consider pursuit much more of a hassle than it's worth.
I was actually MUCH better in the gym and had a higher sex drive when my levels were much lower which I don't really understand.
Could things be in my head or is it time to bite the bullet and start taking testosterone? Thyroid issue is under control. Never tested LH or DHEA. Thoughts?
