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 .....

How does tobacco affect testosterone levels in men?

Smoking appears to increase testosterone levels : "Smoking men had 15% higher total and 13% higher free testosterone levels compared with men who never smoked. Thus, smoking seems to be an important confounding factor when evaluating testosterone levels, and could possibly mask borderline hypogonadism." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1365-2605.2006.00720.x/abstract
