A member asked:
My testosterone levels are 147ng/dl is that significantly low'. also suboxone has worsened my depression and sleepiness. what meds can help for that?

Yes, and taper med: Your T level is 1/3 to 1/4 of normal, so, very low. It may be a side effect of the other drugs you were taking. Suboxone is a narcotic, and can cause sleepiness. Reducing and tapering off the Suboxone may help. Treatment of the low testosterone may help your depression and sleepiness also.

Low T: Your T levels are low which is common with Suboxone use. This is likely causing you to become more depressed and tired as well. Make sure your Suboxone prescriber also treats you for low testosterone. You should feel better within a couple of weeks.
