Testosterone lose
Are there any over the counter Testosterone replacement? Male Testosterone should be between the levels of 300 to 800. I'm not looking for answers like winthrol or any other steroid type drug. Just a none perscription alternitive.

Nope no otc replacements.
zinc can help a lot of people
Have you had your levels measured?
I would also say levels should be between 500-1100 not 300-800 though free T is whats important

If you think your levels are low, you should just go to the doctor and have them tested. If they are, indeed, low the doctor will give you a prescription for test replacement. As Maxgain said, none are available OTC.

They have not been proven to work effectively at building muscle or increasing test levels.
An interesting article about the importance of zinc.
Abstract the above was based upon.

I can't find it now but remember reading a study on DHEA. It was quite effective at raising free test levels in women but the dosage was MASSIVE to get it to move. The same study showed it to be pretty much useless for men.
Androstenedione does work in a high enough dosage. Why? Because in the body it effectively becomes a steroid. The dosage has to be high though, high enough to give bad side effects or the liver will destroy it all on the first pass. Perhaps this is why it's banned in the US now.
As previously stated, go to the doc. Get tested. If you are low they will give you either androgel or weekly injections of testosterone. Then when you get to take your injections at home, your doc may even allow you to split it up in two doses over the week giving you a more constant level.
If you truly have low test, don't mess around with OTC's - go to the doc, bypass the liver, do it right.

I'll actually talk to the doctor that put me on the meds and see what they say. Hope nothing is low I don't think I could do shots in m own arm or leg or butt.

If you actually need it, you'll give yourself the shots...after you learn what normal feels like again.
Again, lots of lab work needed. Talk to the doc. It may just be sides from the other meds you are on making you feel like you are. If that's the case, there may be some way to mitigate those by changing meds, adjusting the dosage, or whatever your doc says.
Good luck.
