I know someone who had their GP do a hormone panel, low libido, energy loss, etc. Testosterone was in the bottom quartile, but still within normal, which actually is NOT optimal and can make men feel dreadful. The GP wanted to put him on an antidepressant. He took the results to another doctor who said "of course you feel rotten with testosterone in that range".

Yes, I am a 45 y/o male. I am on beta blockers but I have been on these for many years. Although I had a "male" issue with the drug when I first started on it, it only lasted a few weeks and everything went back to normal.
I did not notice any libido loss until I started diet and exercise. The drugs could certainly be a factor, but the libido loss happened just a couple of weeks after starting diet/exercise and has not recovered.
Guess I'll have to appease the fertility gods with a dancing carrot
