Androgel Issues

Updated May 4, 2013

I have been using androgel for about 2 months now 1 pump a day. At first life was great I was always horny and always had a rock hard erection. But in the past 2-3 weeks it is almost impossible for me to get an erection. I figure it must have something to do with the gel as that is the only thong that has changed in my life/lifestyle recently. Any thoughts on this or anyone else have the same experience?

From what I could gather, many webpages are listing "changes in your sex drive" as a possible side effect of Androgel (testosterone gel).

You're definitely not alone though. I came across another discussion thread (linked below) where someone else is also experiencing decreased libido from Androgel (Post #3):

The decreased libido sounds like an imbalance of hormonal activity. I would just talk to your doctor about getting your levels checked to see if you require more or less of the medication to restore/regain balance in your sex drive.

You can learn more about this drug on the page for AndroGel Details

I hope this helps!
