Seems pretty high, which is likely why your Free Testosterone is lowish.

This seems pretty low, likely due to highish SHBG.

DHT is lowish, but at only 2 weeks off the drug, I would expect this to rise in time.

Your Total Testosterone (26.37 nmol/L (9.72-27.76)) looks great, but you did not not get Estradiol or Prolactin tested, which are important as well.

Your story is here, hopefully you will find some recovery in the coming months. propeciahelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1123

Keep us updated, and consider retesting in 3 months.

I need to do a new blood test next week.

Any comment? do you think I need to do more hormone test?

My side effect are much better:

  • I can talk easily and find my word. It was not possible when I was stressed
  • My short memory is much better. I don’t forget everything 5 minutes later. but still have low souvenir
  • my penis is 50% larger, no more blue/purple. I can have strong erection, but it is still curved like a banana.
  • I am in a better shape. I need less sleep. No more dark circle
  • no more angry all the time. I dont want to fight everybody when I am upset.
  • less despressed
  • easy to be concentrate, to fell in the reality, not in a movie
  • I can make projects for 1 or 2 month later. Not possible before.

still need to improve

  • penis curvation.
  • few penis sensitivity
    -low libido drive. I can t get horny when I see a naked girl with big tits
  • muscles very stiff
  • still have fat on my face and stomach altough I do a lot of sport and I eat healty (no fast food, no soda, no pizza but a lot of vegetables and fruit).

What has helped me
-meditation
-massage for skin sensitivity and relaxation
-sport fitness

I tryed Tyrosine. It gave me sometime mornig wood, but not sexual desire
Something after a good workout of fitness I have mornig wood.

The new range for TSH is .30-3.00.

There is a good chance your are hypothyroid, however you need more tests done…FULL thyroid panel including

Free T3
Reverse T3
Free T4
TSH

Cortisol levels look a bit low…normal, but on the lower side…

It’s interesting you had bad side effects at that high dose, I think I was munching around 1/3 of proscar a day on my last run. Investigate peyronie’s disease.

btw I took it for similar long time with some similar symptoms (low libido, apathy, mild depression and ed) so perhaps I shouldn’t comment but did you not wonder what was going on when your penis reduced by 50% and curved, even aside from the other stuff? I would have seen a urologist even if I hadn’t twigged it was fin.
