Testogel and not sleeping!
« on: October 23, 2022, 08:12:44 AM »

Good morning
I have been taking testogel for the last 6 weeks and gradually it has kept me awake and going to the toilet up to 3 times every night and just can't cope anymore with it! Has anyone else had this and my question is can I come off it straight or do I have to wean off it slowly!? I can cope with the itchy skin but not no sleep!
Many thanks in advance 🙏🏼

I should think you could just stop Testogel straight away. At least if you feel better without, you'll know that was the culprit.

I was prescribed testogel 8 weeks ago from a gynae consultant after a referral 12 months ago. Also My GP put me in HRT gel a year ago but after 9 months i was tested and wasn’t absorbing so she put me on Evorel patches last October. Been on patches 6 months now so had a blood test last week and my eostrogen level has  igone down even lower🥲She’s increased my patches now to Evorel 100 to see if they work. Looks like i don’t absorb anything transdermally ( through the skin) Also the testogel has made my testosterone level too high now so my GP has written to the Dr who prescribed it . God knows what they will suggest now other than HRT tablets 🤷‍♀️i’ve also stopped the testogel as it’s been giving me headaches AND i’ve put weight on all around my stomach and waist 🥲Fed up . Just want some improvements. ANyone else had similar issues🤷‍♀️!?
