Yep...as I had very low testosterone levels, which we think were caused by a combo of high dose Prozac, Zyprexa, and Risperdal. My pituitary gland was not producing any follicle-stimulating hormone or luteinizing hormone, required for testosterone production. You should get a full round of tests, then bring them to your endocrinologist. Your GP usually looks them over with a 'general' perspective, while the endo will scrutinize more. (Usually). Look up your endo's review on google.
