I've been struggling with low energy, low sex drive, and muscle weakness, and my doctor recommended Androgel 1.62%. I'm a bit hesitant to start it given the potential side effects, especially the urgent ones like behavioral changes or blood clots. Anyone have any experience with this testosterone gel? Was it worth it? How did you handle any side effects?

I was recently prescribed Androgel 1% Gel (50mg) 5gm Pkts for low testosterone levels due to hypogonadism. I'm trying to understand what to expect in terms of improvement in energy levels and reduced muscle weakness. Also, I'm curious about the side effects. Some of the urgent side effects listed seem really scary, has anyone experienced these? It would be great to hear from others who have used this treatment. I am particularly interested in hearing if it helped with a decrease in sex drive, as that has been a significant issue for me.

I've been on Androgel 1.62% for about three months now, and I've noticed some significant changes. My energy levels have increased dramatically, and my mood swings have stabilized. However, I'm starting to worry about some of the side effects listed. Has anyone else experienced any of the serious side effects mentioned? How did you manage them? Also, I'm curious about the long-term effects of using this medication. Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!
