Real androgenic side-effects?

[dfarre]

High blood pressure, water retention, acne, irritability/aggression, bitch tits are side effects from excess estrogen. Just from my personal experience.

So what are the side-effects from androgens? Hair loss (I don't have it). Enlargement of prostate I guess, right?

P.S.

Not talking about kids using it and the effects on them.

Disagree with your initial analysis.

With estrogen at normal and Total Test at 10x normal my BP moves from a solid 120/75 to 140-145/75 including use of Beta Blockers and Ace Inhibitors. BP is definately an Andro side effect too.

Increased red blood cell production is an Andro side that leads to High RBC and HCT. These in turn jack the BP more and also cause many other symptoms.

High Andro actually causes High Estrogen..which causes the other things you spoke about. The above two are if you have E2 in check.
