Good chance I'll never get around to testing, in which case I will close this N/A

@jeremiahsamroo Anyway, labcorp's 95% reference range for LC-MS/MS is 350-970 ng/dl with a mean of 546. The implied standard deviation is about 160 ng/dl. It is very hard to be sub 400 unless you are old and fat.
@BionicD0LPH1N I am basically trying every cheap experiment that seems remotely plausible to treat my ADHD and I've heard anecdotally about people finding that testosterone helped with concentration. If it turns out my T is unusually low, bringing it up into a normal range seems like a good cheap experiment. If my T is normal or high, I wouldn't want to try raising it.
