Here are some…: Over the past decade, it has been increasingly knowing that the drugs exerting their effect to central nervous system such as opiate agents has been confirmed having side effects to lower testosterone due to its effect onto hypothalamus and pituitary gland. Likewise, Paxil (paroxetine) may have similar effect over time to reflect the fact that behind what we know may still hide lots of what we don't know.
