Serum testosterone:306 ng/ml.
My physician has prescribed be androlpil plus and Afro Q to restore my testosterone and I'm taking it since 2 months.Along with this I'm also taking vitamin D supplement.
But still I'm depressed,lethargic,mood swings,losing weight,premature ejaculation,weak erections.

There is not "cure" but there's a perfectly good treatment. I'm sure you still feel like crap with a tsh that is that high.
*Most* people feel well with a TSH of 1 or below, a Free T4 above 60% and a Free T3 above 50%. Anything below that...and most people cannot function.
So, here's what I think is happening, you're not getting enough thyroid medication.
I'm going to post some info here about how to get it to "optimal", but it takes some diligence on your part:
