Waves of Feeling Pleasure, Testogel Side Effect?

Pharma TRT
1

Hi - first time poster here. I’m 46yo and recently had my Testosterone levels checked as I was experiencing low mood, low libido, no energy, no motivation. I have poor joints for my age, and have chronic pain and inflammation, which is apparently the reason my natural T levels are inhibited.

To clarify, my T levels were ‘within range for my age’, and because I’m new to this I even don’t remember the result. My doc is a good guy and recognised my symptoms as being a result of low T (for me) due to my condition and decided to try me on a low level of Testogel. Luckily for me, in no time at all I was feeling like a normal human being again. Low mood is gone, libido has returned, I feel motivated again. I’m on 25g (2 pumps) per day (almost 3 months in). I’m not due for another blood test yet, and I understand the dose is quite low and I guess low risk.

I’m experiencing a strange side effect. I’ve googled this and can’t find an answer, so am throwing it to the forum to see if anyone else has experienced anything similar. I apply the Gel to my chest in the morning after a shower, let it dry, get dressed. Mid-morning I start to feel waves of ‘pleasure’. Not a sexual thing, but a deep sense of ‘warm and fuzzy’, very relaxing and to the point where I have to deep breathe through it. This occurs multiple times throughout the day and into the evening.

I used to workout, going to the gym 4 times a week (had lifted for years) and did martial arts for a few hours a week. Due to severe osteo-arthritis in my shoulder and a (might be called osteo-inclusion?) in my left knee I stopped lifting weights. I have several degenerative discs, developing scoliosis now and since November last year have done very little exercise (no more martial arts).

Since taking Testogel I feel motivated to do some push ups again, and I do a ‘workout’ with physio bands, along with a small amount of time on the cross trainer.

I’m only taking Mobic (7.5mg/day), Panadol Osteo (6/day, some multivitamins, some valerian forte for sleep *not all the time).

Would love to hear if anyone is experiencing anything similar.

Thanks.

So what’s the problem? Pleasurable deep breaths? What’s the fear? This is not an issue nor a side effect. Perhaps your lungs are getting more oxygen due to red blood cell production having an uptick, plus having a healthy hormone panel can be relaxing for the body. Just keep taking your medicine and improving your life. Things are going to change from bad to better. Hope the gel works out for you, but if it doesn’t switch to creams, and if that doesnt work, get on the needle. Simple. Dont over think this stuff.

If your getting waves of benefits it might be that your dose (levels) isn’t high enough to experience it all the time.

I had the same problem on Jatenzo, until I got a dosage increase.

25 milligram is most likely a low dose yes. Starting dose at two brands of Testo gel in my country is 46mg and 60mg. But everyone’s different and some make good use of a small amount, while others need half the bottle to feel better (not really half the bottle haha, but a high dose).
