Hi,
Yes, you are probably right. Methadone may lower testosterone level in men. That's why you have a low testosterone level. All others test you have mentioned, are normal. Hemoglobin level is a bit low, but as you arena patient of chronic anaemia, 11 is good enough.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Md. Shamim Reza, General & Family Physician
