testosterone levels

Posted by peacetoy on November 18, 2005, at 7:24:39

Hi, I'd just like to get some opinions on the testosterone levels I've just had checked.

Plasma testosterone level was 9.7 nmol/l (equivalent to 279 ng/dl). A "normal range" of 8.4 - 28.7 was quoted, so I'm at the very low end of normal. I'm in my late 30s, so I think my levels should be considerably higher.

I've been suffering from fairly severe depression for the past year that's been largely resistant to medication, as well as a very low libido. I'm encouraged by this recent trial that suggests testosterone's usefulness in depression:

Any opinions/experiences?
