Starting Tostran and nausea
«

I have just started using Tostran every other day and am using only half a pump although prescribed 1 pump alternate days. I feel nauseous shortly after application and a bit dizzy/sedated/headachy. Has anyone else had this after starting Testosterone? Is it likely to go, not sure whether it's worth continuing with it or not.

Hi Mintea
I never experienced any side effects from starting testosterone at all - but the preparation I was using was half the strength so maybe you get a bit of a hit initially?
Somewhere on this website I did a post comparing the amounts of the different tesotsterone products of different strengths and how much you get per dose ( although this is a bit artbirary with testosterone sachets).
It may be out of date now but I'll hunt for it and bump it for you.
I hope it settles anyway - as for me the benefits are fantastic and I'm worried about stopping it...

Thanks for your reply Hurdity. I've cut down to a pea sized amount now to see if it makes a difference. Did it take a long time for you to notice the positive effects. Good to hear its helping you a lot.

Well not that long - I can't really remember. The doc I saw initially (privately) said it could take 4-5 months to feel full benefit! I use daily pea sized blob of testogel which as I said is half the strength so see how you go with petit pois!
Good luck with it and keep us updated.
