    Same old story? High SHBG, High Total T, Low free T. Thyroid issues? Lab work inside

    Hey guys, for the past few years I have been feeling super run down and like I'm falling apart.

    Libido is in the tank. Energy is poor. Still have considerable strength. I feel like I'm running out of steam and getting to the point of exhaustion. The stress that comes from feeling this way only makes matters worse at that as well. I just want to feel good and have energy all through the day and not want to take a nap at 1pm after lunch time. By the time I get off work and get home all I want to do is lay down and go to sleep. I'm having to force myself to do activities after work.

    Some stats:
    -23 years old
    -6'4"
    -205lbs
    -Not sure on body fat but it has to be no more than 10-12 percent.
    -Previous steroid user. Used from 17-20 (I'm an idiot, you are welcome to tell me so if you wish, but I already know. This is what I'm thinking to be the cause of my weird T result, but I am unsure. I am a human after all though.)
    -Decent diet. Lots of veggies, moderate fats, higher up on carbs, moderate protein intake. Sort of a plant based diet with meat periodically throughout the week
    -Lift weights and do cardio 3x per week
    -Usually get about 7hr of sleep some nights 8 or 9 depending on if I hit the bed early enough
    -Stress is moderate
    -I take Klonopin for anxiety, anywhere from 1mg - 2mg per day


    Some recent labs, just got my thyroid and T checked yesterday, get the results soon to see if anything has changed and I will post with the updates.

    As of lately I have been taking vit D3, methyl b12, a multi vit, and 500mg iodine

    You sure the clonazepam doesnt influences this libido problem, etc? That's a hefty dose.

    Why do you have this strong anxiety, trauma?

    Dont see anything wrong in the BW, except the SHBG.

    I've had issues prior to getting prescribed, but I know it's doing more harm than good at this point.

    I had a loved one pass and got all screwed up for a bit. Started having panic attacks and started missing class because I couldn't get control over my thoughts/emotions. Got to the point where I didn't want to leave the house. Went to my pcp and she wrote me a script.

    I've been trying to taper off of it for the past 6 months but always seem to fail. I don't even think I really feel the effects of the drug when I take my suggested dose, but for some reason I get a sigh of relief when I do.

    One thing to note, before getting on klonopin I had labs taken back in 2014 and my SHBG was still super high, total T was around 430 and free T was 11. Same reference range as above.

    My thyroid back then was also pretty bad. From what I remember, my tsh was 4.9

    Things have started to bounce back as far as blood work goes, but my energy levels and libido just seem to be slowly declining more and more.
