The testosterone (and presumably the steroids as well) you were given just raised you back up to normal levels.

Okay, well then when I quit methadone, my testosterone levels did the opposite, and went off the scale of their chart. I don't recall exactly what units they were measuring, but I think the max for their range was 35, and I was at 38.

Still no change in manliness.

    I'm not the one who downvoted you, and I wouldn't because you know your own body best. But that one single number really isn't the measure you think it is, even when it is "off the chart" as in your case.

    All you're really telling me is that quitting methadone 👍 resulted in profound changes to your body chemistry, of which testosterone was only one.

    Testosterone doesn't work alone, but as one of a handful of different substances that act in concert to produce what you refer to as "manliness." For all you know you were also zinc or B6 deficient, or fat, or you drifted into a diabetic state or were low on precursor hormones, or any number of other things. It's not just testosterone, and definitely not testosterone as a lab value with no other considerations taken into account.

    Which is exactly why Kegsbreath is a fool, and why one hormone out of many should NOT be replaced based on numbers alone.
