Testosterone and Mood Swings

My husband was placed on a testosterone injection approximately 4 years ago.  He did not tell me about it, keeps them hidden in his office but my point is that it's like living with Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.  The aggressive behavior keeps getting worst, it's like a roller coaster ride with a lunatic.  It's all insults, threats and everything becomes a trial.  It's like living in a courtroom with a demented hyperactive attorney.  Please help, he's 61, I'm 57 and we've been married for 38 years, have three grown children and I would hate to see my marriage end but it's coming to the point where I will have no choice if his behavior does not change.  Do you think I should call the doctor that prescribed this medication and let him know what is going on?  Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

my husband is 2 months into injections and our marriage is already falling apart (15 years married). I tried talking him out of doing this, but he didn't care.  He is not the same person he used to be.  Angry, could care less about my feelings, and not even very interested in sex with me.  What ended up happening with your marriage?  I need help, not sure what to do.

Testosterone injection given every 10 weeks - Nebido does not give mood swings. Nor does testosterone taken as a transdermal gel eg. Testogel, give mood swings. I just wonder what kind of testosterone you husband is on and would it not be a good idea to stop it or at least change.
That as it may, you deserve better that the abuse you describe. Talk to his doctor and tell him what's going on. Consider marriage counseling also.
