One study showed normal testosterone in bupe-treated men, but my pdoc said that simply because it has opioid activity, it necessarily must inhibit GnRH to some degree. I suspect that simply because it is equivalent to around 30mg of IV morphine per dose, it HAS to have some sort of negative effect.
I cannot afford to take any more Rx medication, as the cabergoline + everything else is already breaking the bank. Thankfully with a drug discount card and my parents helping me I can afford the Suboxone and Nardil. The cabergoline I pay for on my own, which is $100/mo now, at BEST $60/mo from a European source (that med in the USA from a pharmacy at the dose I take would cost $1000/mo+). And if I want to raise it, it will cost up to $120/mo, even at the best price I can find it at. I think I will try Tongkat Ali, which has a lot of glowing anecodotal evidence behind it as well as many animal studies showing up to a 400% increase in free testosterone when administered chronically.
