Does it help? I used to buy 5% testosterone cream online from Australia, same brand as Drs prescribe here. I felt heat in my body after using it and a bit more energy.
My current blood test says my testosterone is 4.9 and the min normal value is 5.8.
I have sexual dysfunction since starting Fluoxetine but have no idea if this is something that’s a problem
Don’t think I have ever been tested for any hormone except Prolactin as far as I know

My blood tests don’t include testosterone or prolactin, never have. I’ve heard a lot about prolactin on this forum, maybe I should get these things tested just in case.
What are the symptoms of testosterone and prolactin problems?

Sounds a bit quack to me. I doubt you would get it delivered in the UK. Unless you was transitioning, which still sounds unlikely.
Just eat plenty of protein rich foods.

ok, thanks for all that info.
I had major weight gain and developed man boobs when I was on olanzapine but since quitting I have lost all that weight and no longer have man boobs so I am mostly back to normal. I don’t have any of the other problems so I guess my testosterone and prolactin are probably fine, but I might ask my doctor to test them on my next blood test just to be sure.

I have very low testosterone and mildly high prolactin.
My family doctor said it’s the psych meds causing this.

My husband gets testosterone shots once per week. It’s due to his pain pump. He doesn’t take antipsychotics
