    Fine as in within normal range or fine as in optimal? From what I've read my free test should be at least twice if not three times as high as it is? I'm 19 years old after all.

    im 19 years old also and my levels are lower then yours, not everyone is given high test levels, your delt certain cards in life and you have to take them.

    your shbg is normal, you dont have albumin results so i cant comment there, though everything according to these results is normal. no doctor or hrt clinic would even consider remotely trt at your age and numbers.

    i would consider full bloodwork done ie FBC etc, you might have something underlying causing your symptoms; ie anaemia etc

    as his age and levels, thats just my opinion... prescribing androgens to a 19 yr old with those levels, and a single blood test warrants a review of a medical license.

    well OP's 3 options are

    get FULL bloowork done to find and underlying problems

    try and nag HRT clinics and docs to get trt

    go on self medicated trt

    anyway thats my 2 cents good luck with everything OP, hope things work out.

    dont get me wrong, i think youre giving excellent advice...i should have elaborated that...i however looking back, wonder how long i may have been low T and may have benefited with TRT at a young age...definately like your saying with doctors supervision....but the young man has symptoms...i mean if a person isnt processing sugar they treat with insulin....not much different with trt..
    the op def has a lot to look at coming from the other meds..
    i also hope the op gets treated correctly
