High SHBG made even higher with Forskolin?

For some reason my SHBG is above the normal range for reasons no one can figure out. When I take Forskolin, which raises CAMP and in turn testosterone (confirmed with labs), my SHBG goes into the stratosphere. I can't figure this out, as I've always read it should lower SHBG. My doc prescribed androgel to elevate test and give me more useable testosterone, but only prescribed 5 mg of the 1% gel per day, which pretty much has just shut me down and made me feel like absolute hell. I feel way worse than before.
 
You could try something like a sustain alpha or dermacrine. These would aid in more natural test boosting. If not discuss with your doctor. He may want to look into this further.

I've tried both and they didn't impact my labs. Tried tongkat, muira puama and many other things, but for some reason I can't bring it down. Makes me wonder if there's a thyroid issue, but thus far the labs have not indicated this.
 
Increasing test levels will increase SHBG. Have you tried boron, nettle root extract, and tongkat at the same time? If it is excessive, a doctor could prescribe proviron.
 
He prescribed 50mg/day clomid, which may restart things, but from what I understand may also increase SHBG all the more. Not sure the dosing works for me, as I don't really like how I feel on it. I was able to recover by dropping the androgel and using bulbine and forskolin. Willing to bet my SHBG is still sky high.
