Q: Androgel, T-levels, and Antidepressants

My intial T-level was 134. Doctor wanted to bring up to at least 300. Prescribed 4 pumps a day of Androgel. Each month my T -levels increased. Originally, my blood tests indicated that both my pituitary and testicals were not working properly. My T-levels are now over 1000. BP is also on the high side. Concurrently with my use of Androgel I discontinued using two antidepressants, Prosac and wellbutrin. Could these antidepressants have adversely affected my T levels?
