Androfeme side effects

5 replies

I started taking Androfeme at the start of June to try and alleviate total brain fog - private menopause doctor and following blood tests that showed I have zero testosterone.

No real side effects BUT my temper has gone bonkers. I am getting really emotionally angry and have a very short fuse. I really don’t like feeling this way.

Does this calm down once your body has got used to it or is it here to stay? If it’s the latter then I would rather not be taking it!!!!

I'm on it and I did get a bit feisty to begin with but I've calmed down now - mind you I am generally pretty bad tempered these days anyway!

Thanks @Puppylucky. I will carry on for another month and see if things calm down.

Hi Bookworm, came across your post when looking for others' sleep experiences whilst on androfeme. The bonkers temper I can relate to - mine has been explosive lately after nudging up to 0.5+ mgs. Was quite scary! Has yours improved given time? And do you find you sleep OK on it? Mine has been unbearably restless at times, quite debilitating :(

I have stopped taking it. When I felt like I wanted to hit my child I knew enough was enough. It wasn’t helping with brain fog or sex drive and I got acne and started growing thick black whiskers on my chin.

Not for me!!!!

This is interesting. I have just started Testim & I am finding it difficult to sleep - I feel so restless/ twitchy.
