Upset, Taking Levoxyl, Cytomel.Wake Up Exhausted, Dr Gave Testosterone. Weight Gain, Breast Enlarged, Raised Blood Sugar. Solution ?

Thanks for the query.
Cytomel is used for treating an underactive thyroid and various types of goiters. An increased appetite, insomnia (sleeplessness) along with weight loss is the side effects. This explains your hunger pangs.
Even with Levoxyl the side effects will be insomnia, hair loss, and difficulty in breathing.
Both these medications do not cause excessive sleep. They also do not cause weight gain.
Androgel is a hormonal replacement medication used to help men with low levels of testosterone. Androgel produces hormonal changes; it can lead to breast swelling or tenderness, acne, sexual dysfunction (too low or too high sex drive) and depression.
Androgel contains androgenic hormone or testosterone which really does become excess estrogen (in addition to Dihydrotestosterone) creating damage to a number of males. So this explains your high estrogen levels.
But you could also utilize Dihydrotestosterone carbamide peroxide gel such as Andractim after consulting your Physician. DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) is better than androgen hormone. Another advantage Andractim provides more than Androgel in the fact that Dihydrotestosterone will not increase oestrogen levels in blood.
Androgel does increase your weight but it does not interfere with your blood sugar levels, in fact it lowers it. Regarding the irritation of the prostate gland, if you already have enlargement of your prostate gland, your signs and symptoms can get worse while using AndroGel.
So it is better to discuss with your Physician regarding the possible effects of this drug.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available for follow up queries.
