How Long Does Andriol Testocaps Take To Improve Testosterone Level?

I am suffering from E-D , depression and severe fatigue . I visited an E-D specialist who asked me to get my blood tested for testerone and prolactin . The test level showed low testosterone of 2.7 ng/ml and high prolactin level of 40.l ng/nl . I also suffered from pancreatitis in 2007 and have undergone 4 surgeries for cyst drainage and related complications . As of now my health problems as far as pancreatitis is concerned are minimised . I was also treated for depression since 2009 and my treatment for depression got over in november 2010 .
My doctor has put me on Anderiol Testocaps 40 mg twice a day for low T and tablet tazzle 10 mg once a day .
My questions are
1> How long will my treatment last ? ( My doctor didn't say much about it )
2> What are the side effects of this treatment ? ( I am really afraid about enlarged prostate which is one of the side effects of harmone replacement therapy ) .
3> I am a divorcee and stay alone with my widowed mother . I also feel that I should get married as soon as possible but will the above treatment improve my condition , sex drive and erections ?

There are several possibilities here. One is that the pancreatitis is from alcohol and/or liver disease and/or medications. These are not subtle nor hard to notice. If you don't already know you have them, you don't.

The lower testosterone from alcohol has many causes including having a higher estrogen level. The treatment of low testosterone is life long and has a lag of weeks for it to really start working.
There will be enlarged prostate. It will causes changes in mood and personality. Many other side effects are common.
