I'm not to sure about this now. My TSH isn't good, same goes for estrogene and prolactin. At least testosterone is in normale range.

Can anyone make any conclusions? I'm not taking any oral meds anymore (just Xandrox 15 (not plus) and spironolactone right now).

Might want to look into hypothyroidism and getting further testing (Free T3, Free T4, Thyroid antibodies) to investigate.

Prolactin can also be elevated by hypothyroidism, per http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/jour ... 1&SRETRY=0

Lots of guys on that "other website" end up with elevated TSH levels/hypothyroidism after coming off the drug, so it seems to be a common issue for many of us with hormonal problems post-finasteride, along with elevated Estradiol, Prolactin, and decreased LH/FSH/Total & Free T.
