Common Questions and Answers about Androgel side effects weight gain
androgel
I have low testosterone from being on a pain pump implant for almost 7 years and I'm currently on Androgel but the side effect is that it keeps me up all night long like insomnia. I have been living this way for 4 months. I can't go to sleep until 4 or 5 am every morning. If I were to switch to the shots or the pellets would that rid me of the current side effects that I'm suffering from?
Androgel is used to treat men with conditions of low testosterone hormone levels (e.g., hypogonadism). Side effects to this drug usually are nausea, vomiting, headache, hair loss, change in sexual drive, or redness/swelling/change in color of the skin, or acne, swelling (edema), trouble breathing (including very slow or shallow breathing and trouble breathing while sleeping), trouble urinating, mental/mood changes (e.g.
Going onto therapy eliminates your bodies natural production of testosterone and it might not fully return if you decide to come off of it. There are lots of side effects infertility, growth of prostate cancer (if it is already there). You also need to take estrogen blockers make sure you talk to your endo about estrogen blockers and you need to get blood tests often.
then, the ACE/calcium chanel blockers/AII blockers I was taking all can cause rhinitis as a side effect; then, the Androgel I was taking can cause blood to thicken. The net effect was a constant loop of rhinitis and inflammation coupled with thickening blood. All causing head pressure,sleepiness, headache, eustacian tube blockages, thick mucus, tinnitus etc. I have switched to a combination diuretic with noticeable improvment.
i am gaining a lot of weight, added 60 lbs since my surgery ( 2 years ). i am on lowest dose of prednisone ( 5 mg/day )... any idea what i can do to control it. i eat very sensibly.
now for the imrt, i have to take 4mg dex ( approx. 27mg pred??? ), wow... worried what this might do to me... my pituitary has shut-off and hence i am on ddavp, eltroxin and androgel as well... ( i am 38 now ).
are there any alternatives to imrt & surgeries? such as homeopathy etc etc?
What I`m getting at is that you might have too much estrogen in your system or maybe it is a side effect of any medication. And, oh yes, anti-depressants will do that to you too. I hear your despair and you`re too young to beat yourself up about this for the rest of your life. Find a different doctor.
A friend of my sent me to a Doc that raises tour testosterone using bio similar steroids . No side effects supposedly . He put six pellets in my hip .It's been 3 weeks and I feel terrific . I haven't had my blood test to check my testosterone but I suspect it will be in the six hundred range . I suggest to anyone to have your testosterone level raised with bio similar steroids. Oh by the way it lasts six months .
Every time I see my endo I constantly complain of many side effects. These effects include fatigue, weakness, WEIGHT GAIN of about 40 pounds, decreased sex drive, depression, and some memory loss. Also, blood tests reveal a trigylceride level of 557 with no family history of high trigylceride and I eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly.
I was wondering if anyone had any useful information for me so I could finally feel "normal" again!
serious depression, from sweats to chills, lack of motivation and the list goes on so I try not to take it. I used to work out ALL the time and then 1day no sexdrive and I just had no urge to workout...I try to make myself work out but it's not the same as before. Unlike you though I never took any andro products...any answers yet?
To F47D00d: why are you taking a drug used for postmenopausal women?
I would start by ascertaining that the fibrosis status is indeed as good as the fibrosure indicates. Take him up on the offer to use Dr. A's machine.
Furthermore it would be a good idea now to do the single nucleotide polymorphism cirrhosis risk score, if your insurance will pay for it.
OK now for the negative side effects. Are there any negative side effects from prolonged use of poppy seed derivative's. I'm talking about someone who moderately consumes this drug. Think for a minute about this without going so danged crazy into addiction. I'm interested in finding out about moderate ingestion and the possibility of damage to brain cells, organ's (if so which organs)bones, etc etc.
it usually starts from bottom right side and goes to left side.
sometimes after i masturbate i get very very strong pain from all my testicles that i cant even stand, sit or touch it.it hurts so much and can stay for two three hours.
so, my only question is all my tests came out as normal. so can my hernia cause this problem?
and can this be because of adrenal fatigue as i havent done any tests for it?
thanks a lot!!!
I can not have sex with my husband due to the pain, I have gained lots of weight due to the pain and not being able to be active.
I told the doctor during my next recheck and he said he never heard of someone having as much pain as I do and I must have low pain tolerance. (Although I have given birth three times with no pain meds, low tolerance my butt). Where do I go from here?
