i think i read that anywhere between 250 and 850 is normal.  but your doctor should let you know if you need to change your dose or not

Normal for male is:
Total T: 240-950 ng/dL

Total Free: 9-30 ng/dL

According to my doc.  Although I've heard different answers in different places, and the answer also depends a lot on your age.

in my lab, their normal are:
testosterone total: 2.45-12.0 ng/ml (which is 245-1200 ng/dl)

the free testosterone levels are confusing on that one.. sorry ^^

My T was too high last time was told to change my dose around.. thanks for the chart Chris that is very handy!

Like Chamillion said your doctor should tell you whether its too low/high.
