No, according to all studies I have seen levothyroxine actually will increase Your total testosterone. I am not sure HOW it does so. But levothyroxine also increases SHBG (sexual hormone binding globuline) significantly thus decreasing the speed at which testosterone is excreted. I find it reasonable that the decreased speed in excretion will be at least partially responsible for the increase in total testosterone. There may however be also other reasons for the increase in total testosterone like increased testosterone production due to increased metabolism ? Note, if You use levothyroxine to compensate for hypothyroidism You will likely become hyperthyroid if You also add testosterone .....
