Testogel experience?
«

I had been taking Testogel for 3 months and initially felt a lift in mood and energy - not libido but can’t have it all! This didn’t last very long and I started feeling angry and short tempered. I stopped taking it and don’t feel so angry, but back to lethargy and also feel light headed and weak legged?? Is this T withdrawal or something separate? It’s such a confusing time to know what feelings are hormone generated or because of covid situation. Any experience welcome.

Bellababe I think it’s a question of finding the right amount for you. I was like you on every other day, I got improvements in energy and response (but not libido) but started to feel angry. I also tried doing without for a while (when I felt I had some hair loss) and had definite withdrawals.
The balance for me is taking it x 3 per week, Mon/Wed/Fri. It’s just enough so I don’t get angry but still get the benefits.
Professor Studd did a talk/podcast on the benefits of T for bones (think I saw it on this forum somewhere) so I don’t want to give it up as I believe in it.
Hope this helps x

Thank you for sharing,our experience sounds similar! Overnight, before reading your response, I decided to start it again and see what happens and so I’m going to try your 3 day routine and hope I get the benefits back less the rage!! I’ve read recently about the benefit to our bones and heart health so yes i need to try again with a tweak! Thank you you have given me the umph to try again!
