Hello- Help me with side effects

I'm 62 yo guy who has been dealing with ED problems for a few years and have tried dietary and prescription remedies. In the last couple of years the Viagra and Cialis side effects have become murder.

I had an appt in a mens clinic today. Got a test dose of Trimix and they took a blood sample to check the T. The Trimix worked well, but I was a little disturbed by their marketing /business structure. They had some proprietary injection contraption that was part of the deal and patients/clients could "buy in" to 6mo, 1, or 2 years. The year program as an example was about $1500. (The TRT would be a separate matter) I mentioned that I had no problem getting the stuff and injecting myself, but that was not an option. I have to find out more about my insurance coverage which might be sticky s there is no real "pharmacy" involved.

I'm wondering if I would be better of going to my doc or a urologist and getting the prescriptions and equipment and having them filled on my own.

Thanks

Thanks, I suspect as much. I now need to figure out how much insurance pays and for what. There is so much to know and I and very excited about getting this rolling.
Maybe this is the wrong thread to ask on, but in regard to Trimix, I understand that different amounts of the three (or 4) drugs will produce less or greater time erect. Is that a trial and error process with a Urologist?

I wonder if my GP is even all that knowledgeable of these specifics. So much learn about.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
