Hi

I have been taking testogel for about a week now using one sachet per day throughout the day

over the weekend I was extremely tired , I slept 8 hours which is rare for me and I felt like iI needed more

Not sure if this is a side effect, if so iI hope it subsides

I felt so much better I have never felt this calm relaxed , brain fog gone , social anxiety gone! and my levels were at 0.8 first test in 2016 and 10.7 nmol/L last month October

    I'm on Testosterone compounded cream and have not had fatigue as a result--it's not usually a side effect of testosterone supplementation. Are you on other hormones? Progesterone can cause drowsiness/sleepiness.

      Hello, thank you for replying . No not taking anything in the way of mediation other than Testosterone gel.

      I have noticed if iI take in the morning it makes me feel groggy and a little tired. At night a little bit of energy. I was also taking gel a little at a time throughout the day because of the strong groggy feeling.
