I've been using Testosterone 10mg/act Gel for about three months now, and I've noticed some significant changes. My energy levels have improved dramatically, and my sex drive is back to normal. However, I've also experienced some side effects that I'm not sure are worth the benefits. I've had some irritation at the application site, and I've noticed some mood swings. I'm also a bit concerned about the potential long-term effects, especially the risk of blood clots and liver problems. Has anyone else experienced similar side effects? What should I do if these side effects persist? Also, I'm curious about how long it typically takes to see the full effects of this medication. Is it normal to still be experiencing side effects after three months?

I've heard that some people experience gynecomastia (breast enlargement) from testosterone gel. Has anyone else dealt with this? Also, how do you apply the gel? Is it messy?

Did anyone else start experiencing more sweating and increased body odor? It's been bothering me lately.

I've been on testosterone gel for about a year and a half now. I've had some side effects, but they've been manageable. My doctor adjusted my dosage after a few months, and that seemed to help with the side effects. I've noticed improved energy and libido, and my muscle mass has increased. I'd say it's been worth it for me.

I've been on testosterone gel for about a year now, and I've had a similar experience. The side effects were pretty tough at first, but they seemed to level out after a few months. I definitely noticed improved energy and libido, but the mood swings were rough. I'd recommend talking to your doctor about adjusting the dosage or switching to a different form of testosterone. Possibly injections might be less irritating at the application site?
