I started a medication called pregabalin 8 months ago and started getting gyno.
I did a blood test a couple of months ago:
T 550
FSH 0.8 (low)
Estradiol 60 (high)
I'm 33. My last blood test at 25 returned a T level around 1000. I know T levels don't drop that fast.
I stopped the medication for a couple of weeks and did another blood test:
T 120 (low)
FSH 0.8 (low)
Estradiol 35
My T levels completely crashed. I feel depressed, I have zero energy, etc. There is a chance that the medication was only affecting Estradiol, and that the low T is unrelated. I am going to do another test in a few weeks. There is a chance it could be a tumor in the hypothalamus/pituitary, but very unlikely.
I was doing a bit of research and I understand that Clomid has the benefit of lowering conversion of T to E and allowing T to build up in the blood.
Thoughts or experiences on low T, long-term use of Clomid, or the above? If all abnormalities have been ruled out, how would you raise your T level back near 1000?
