Androgel Side Effects

Updated

Used AndroGel for over four months in 2010 and actually increased my ability to have erections. But at about the four or five month mark I noticed my breast area was growing and suddenly I developed enlarged breasts to the point that I was ashamed to go anywhere without wearing a baggy shirt. I became very depressed and quit using AndroGel. The problem continued and even got worse with regard to the man tits. Help!!!

If you have any more questions or concerns please post back, I hope this info helps!
